Journeying in 2016: A Spark for Wanderlust Encounters
In a world where unique travel experiences are highly sought after, the award-winning travel company, Cox & Kings, continues to stand out. Known for exceptional group tours and tailor-made holidays, Cox & Kings recently offered immersive journeys to Cuba, Orcas Island, and Tuscany.
Last year, the company was recognised with several British Travel Awards, a testament to their commitment to delivering extraordinary travel experiences.
Cuba: A Vibrant Cultural Journey
Cuba, with its lively culture, unstoppable spirit, and fascinating history, was a unique and vibrant destination for Cox & Kings' travellers. Guests enjoyed visiting organic tobacco farms, learning to roll Cuban cigars, exploring Old Havana, sipping minty fresh mojitos, and meeting young entrepreneurs.
Orcas Island: A Hidden Gem Close to Home
Orcas Island, part of the San Juan archipelago off the coast of Washington state, offered a hidden gem close to home. Guests dived into the blue waters, toured family-owned organic farms, and tasted locally-harvested shellfish right from the bay. The company shared photos and experiences from a day of seafood-rich adventure on Orcas Island.
Tuscany: A Feast for the Senses
Tuscany, Italy, was another destination where guests were treated to a feast for the senses. Highlights included truffle hunting near Siena, a full day of high-art in Florence, and a lesson in olive harvesting in a picturesque orchard. The company also visited Tuscany in November 2016.
In addition to these experiences, the company had conversations with renowned chefs such as Chef Stephen Gillanders, the executive Chef and Partner at Intro in Chicago, and Chef Jean Joho, a native of Alsace, France. These interactions added a culinary dimension to the trips, with guests learning about the chefs' favourite holiday desserts and traditions.
For those interested in creating their own private travel experiences, the company's website serves as a valuable resource. The company encourages readers to explore various travel destinations and experiences through their Journal posts, which feature master chefs, food, and travel destinations.
