I've just returned from our fabulous Food, wine an

I've just returned from our fabulous Food, wine and walking tour in Piemonte, Italy. This is a magnificent region of Northern Italy from its stunning capital Torino to its spectacular wine regions where Barolo, Barbaresco, Nebbiolo and Barbera wines shine. April is a perfect time to explore this beautiful region where culinary excellence is a given, sweeping vistas and lush landscapes are breathtaking and our wine tastings exceptional. A truffle hunt with Marta and her gorgeous and talented logotto Bella was lots of fun.

Always love returning to Milan and its impressive

Always love returning to Milan and its impressive architecture, cuisine and hidden treasures like Villa Necchi. After many years I dined at Seta the two star Michelin restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental. Even more impressive than the first time in 2017. Experiencing Easter with its delicious Colomba was an added treat. @villanecchicampiglio @setabyantonioguida

The breathtaking landscape of Bhutan is just one of its highlights along with stunning accommodation, sensational guides and lodge staff and overwhelmingly friendly people. It's always hard to say farewell to this beautiful country, our fabulous friends and colleagues and a philosophy of life that is endlessly enriching.

Our final destination on our culinary tour was Kyu

Our final destination on our culinary tour was Kyushu Island and the cities of Nagasaki and Fukuoka. Our visit to the Nagasaki Peace Park was extremely moving and our exploration of Dejima, an artificial island off Nagasaki that served as a trading post for the Portuguese (1570–1639) and subsequently the Dutch (1641–1858) was fascinating. For 220 years, it was the central conduit for foreign trade and cultural exchange with Japan during the isolationist Edo period (1600–1869), and the only Japanese territory open to westerners.
We also managed to indulge in the culinary delights of this beautiful region. And we were fortunate to see the first blooms of spring in Fukuoka.

Kyoto was a real treat this trip. Winter in Japan

Kyoto was a real treat this trip. Winter in Japan is the perfect time to explore some of the most outstanding sights free from the tourist crowds. Our visit to Ginkakuji (Silver Pavillion) was stunning and a relaxed stroll through the Nishiki Market discovering its fabulous produce and culinary treats was a highlight.
We enjoyed a delightful dinner at Toki restaurant in Hotel The Mitsui on our final night in Kyoto.

Beautiful Kanazawa in winter. Peaceful, very few tourists, fabulous food as always and the Kenrokuen gardens covered in snow.
