A Three-Day Culinary Escape | July 15th  - 17th 2026

In collaboration with Sera — bringing people and food together. (FULLY BOOKED)

This three-day journey along Sweden’s west coast brings together open-fire cooking, Nordic creativity, and the relaxed energy of summer on the Scandinavian shoreline. Built around the legendary Holy Smoke BBQ Heyday Festival — where a who’s who of Scandinavia’s (and beyond) most exciting masters of smoke, fire, and mixology come together — the tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of flavour and craftsmanship. Blending the raw excitement of live-fire barbecue with some of the region’s most compelling contemporary dining experiences, it creates a seamless short escape that moves effortlessly between festival atmosphere and refined gastronomy.

We begin by immersing ourselves in the vibrant world of Heyday — a gathering that celebrates smoke, fire, and community, where some of the most exciting voices in modern barbecue and some of the Nordic's most talented chefs and bartenders come together for a day of flavour, music, and collaboration. From there, the journey shifts towards a more contemplative pace, exploring the surrounding landscape through a visit to the famous Kullabergs vineyard where we will enjoy a wine tasting with snacks before continuing on to two standout restaurants that showcase the depth and evolution of Nordic cuisine.

Dinner at Fyr, helmed by Jacob & Emelie Holmström, formerly of two Michelin star Gastrologik in Stockholm, Fyr offers a modern, expressive approach to seasonal cooking, rooted in fire and the natural rhythms of the region, while Signum, which currently holds two Michelin stars and a coveted green star — located within the beautiful Hällsnäs Hotel — provides a serene and immersive dining experience overlooking the water, where technique, restraint, and Nordic purity come together with quiet confidence.

Throughout the tour we will stay in a collection of carefully selected hotels that reflect the character of the Swedish west coast, including the relaxed seaside elegance of Hotel Tylösand, the coastal charm of Hotel Visit Örestrand, and the tranquil lakeside setting of Hällsnäs itself. Each stop has been chosen not only for comfort, but for its connection to the landscape and atmosphere that make this region so special in the height of summer.

This is a tour designed to balance energy with calm — from the fire and movement of Heyday to the precision of Nordic fine dining — offering a rare opportunity to experience Sweden through its food, its scenery, and the people shaping its culinary future

I am thrilled to announce that by popular demand we are now offering a second Faroe Islands Tour in September 2026.

When I visited the islands recently, I realised that the combination of incredible food, dramatic scenery, and deep local culture was simply too special not to share. Over four unforgettable days, 12 lucky guests will join me for an immersive, all-in culinary journey through this extraordinary destination.

Together, we’ll explore the very best of Faroese gastronomy:

Restaurant Ræst, where chef Sebastian Jiménez weaves his Mexican roots into the islands’ traditional fermentation techniques, and where Karin Visth has just been awarded the Special Service Award by Denmark’s White Guide — the same guide that named Ræst one of the country’s best restaurants.

Restaurant Paz, where former Koks chef Poul Andrias Ziska has already earned a well-deserved two Michelin stars in record time.

Restaurant Áarstova, famed for its traditional Faroese lamb and seafood, served in a beautifully restored historic house in the heart of Tórshavn.

The tour also includes a truly unique Skerpi Experience — an intimate lunch beside a calm fjord where seafood is lifted directly from the water, prepared moments later, and served in a small wooden hut that perfectly captures the purity and simplicity of Faroese cooking.

One of the most magical moments of the tour will be an open-fire breakfast in the kitchen gardens of Restaurant Ræst, set right on the edge of the sea. As the fire crackles, we’ll gather overlooking a sweeping stretch of coastline, surrounded by the same herbs and plants used in Ræst’s fermentation-driven cooking. With the scent of smoke in the air and waves rolling in beneath us, this simple, elemental breakfast becomes something unforgettable — a rare chance to experience Faroese produce, landscape, and tradition in their purest form.

---

To elevate the journey even further, we’ll head out on a boat adventure to Hestur–Klæmintsgjógv, exploring sea cliffs, hidden grottoes, and one of the most impressive sea caverns in the North Atlantic.

We’ll also hike the iconic Trælanípa trail, finishing at the spectacular lake-over-ocean viewpoint and the dramatic waterfall that plunges straight into the Atlantic — one of the Faroe Islands’ most breathtaking natural sights.

We’ll stay at the stunning Hotel Føroyar, where every guest enjoys a sea-view room and full access to the hotel’s serene Ress Spa — the perfect place to unwind each day.

There is also an option to join us the night before we fly to the Faroes at Scandinavia's newest three star restaurant Kadeau in Copenhagen at an additional cost of just 550 GBP

Scandinavia — September 2026

Limited to just 7 guests

6 days. 3 countries. 19 Michelin stars.

An immersive journey through the very best of Scandinavian dining, moving seamlessly from Stockholm to Oslo and on to Copenhagen, with every detail taken care of — including flights at civilised times, luxury hotels, and an unforgettable night deep in the Swedish woodlands.

We begin in Stockholm at ⭐⭐⭐ Frantzén, before flying to Oslo for an extraordinary evening at ⭐⭐⭐ Maaemo, enjoyed in the intimacy of their private dining room.

From there, we continue to Copenhagen, arriving in time for one of the most ambitious dining experiences in the world at ⭐⭐🍀 Alchemist.

A major highlight of this year's tour is a visit to Noma (⭐️⭐️⭐️🍀) in Copenhagen. Reopening following its acclaimed Los Angeles residency, Noma remains one of the most influential restaurants of the modern era and one of the world's most sought-after reservations. Dining here offers a rare opportunity to experience the restaurant as it embarks on an exciting new chapter in its home city.

Copenhagen then delivers one of the great days in global gastronomy: lunch in the private Inspiration Kitchen at ⭐⭐⭐ Geranium, followed by dinner at ⭐⭐⭐ Jordnær — a perfectly balanced six-star day showcasing the elegance and precision of modern Nordic cuisine.

We then step away from the cities and into the wild, travelling to ⭐🍀 Knystaforsen, where Nicolai and Eva Tram have created something truly special — a place of smoke, fire, and deep connection to nature. Along the way, a surprise lunch awaits.

After a night in the forest, we return to Copenhagen to close the journey at one of Denmark´s most grand hotels. A refined private lunch at ⭐ Marchal, set within the iconic d’Angleterre, where a specially devised menu for our group showcases the great traditions of art de la table — from duck à la presse, pithiviers and turbotière to crêpe Suzette and the theatre of the cheese chariot, the chefs at Marchal will be showing off the absolute best of Marchal´s menu and opening up just for us in a private salon.

Throughout the journey, we stay in some of Scandinavia’s finest hotels — carefully chosen not just for their luxury, but for their sense of place. From refined city icons in Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen to a truly unique night deep in the Swedish wilderness, each property has been selected to complement the rhythm of the tour. Expect comfort, character, and the kind of understated elegance that defines Scandinavian hospitality.

This is Scandinavia at its very best — ambitious, refined, and deeply personal.

Everything is taken care of.
All you need to decide is what to drink.

Etxebarri and the Best of the Basques Oct 15–19, 2026 The Basque Country remains one of the world’s great culinary powerhouses — a place where tradition, innovation, and an obsessive respect for produce converge like nowhere else on earth. This five-day journey brings together the region’s most iconic grills, temples of fine dining, and deeply rooted local institutions in one tightly curated experience. Etxebarri and the Best of the Basques is designed for guests who want to go beyond a single headline restaurant and truly understand why this corner of northern Spain continues to dominate the global gastronomic conversation. The Restaurants At the heart of the tour is Asador Etxebarri, where Bittor Arginzoniz has transformed elemental cooking over fire into one of the most influential culinary expressions of our time. A meal here is not simply lunch — it is a benchmark experience. We pair this with a visit to Txispa, the intimate, fire-driven restaurant led by former Etxebarri alumni Tetsuro Maeda, offering a different but equally compelling interpretation of smoke, embers, and precision, but envisioned through a Japanese lens. At Txispa the group will also have the opportunity to experience an exclusive yakitori evening as for just two evenings, after the restaurant service, the kitchen of Txispa transforms. When the sign appears on the back door, the space becomes a bar called YAKITXORI. From the mountains we move to the coast with Elkano, the world reference point for grilled fish, where turbot cooked over charcoal reaches near-mythical status. Balancing the refinement are two deeply rooted classics: Casa Julián, famed for its legendary txuleta, and Ibai, a beloved local institution where Basque hospitality and flavour take centre stage and indeed new heights under the care of world renowned chef Paulo Airaudo.

We will also enjoy a private tasting of Txakoli, the distinctive white wine that has become synonymous with the Basque coastline. Produced from indigenous grape varieties and traditionally poured from height to enhance its freshness, Txakoli offers a fascinating insight into the region's winemaking heritage and gastronomic culture.

Following the tasting we continue to Garena, one of the Basque Country's most exciting dining destinations. Set within a beautifully restored farmhouse overlooking the surrounding countryside, Garena combines contemporary creativity with a deep respect for local ingredients and traditions, offering a fitting celebration of modern Basque cuisine. A surprise for my guests on the last Basque tour this was unanimously a highlight (as I knew it would be) and will now feature on all my tours in this region. A highlight of the tour will be an exclusive evening at Rekondo, famed for its legendary wine cellar and collection of mature vintages. Few restaurants in the world offer such a remarkable combination of Basque cuisine, hospitality and vinous history. The opportunity to dive into this world famous wine list is quite frankly impossible to resist. We will certainly have the opportunity to visit the cellar here also. There will be an evening to enjoy San Sebastián at your leisure, widely regarded as one of the world's great food cities. Wander through the atmospheric streets of the Old Town, discover traditional pintxos bars bustling with locals, and sample everything from freshly grilled seafood and Iberian ham to innovative bite-sized creations. Whether you choose to bar-hop your way through the city or simply enjoy a glass of wine overlooking La Concha Bay, this is an opportunity to experience the more informal side of Basque gastronomy. What’s Included • All restaurant menus 🍽️ • Transportation to and from all restaurants from the San Sebastián pick up point (Hotel Maria Christina)🚍 • Hosted throughout by Achefabroad Tours 👨‍🍳 • Txakoli tasting experience 🍾 • Exclusive buyout event at Ibai 🔐 • A visit to the Rekondo wine cellars 🍷 What's not Included • Accommodation 🏨 • Flights and travel to San Sebastián ✈️ • Alcoholic beverages and other drinks 🍻 • Travel insurance (strongly recommended) 🛡️ • Personal expenses 💳 Please note: Drinks are not included and should be settled directly with the restaurants. Hotel accommodation is not included in the tour price, allowing guests the flexibility to choose their preferred level of comfort in San Sebastián. I am happy to make recommendations and also bookings as a supplemental cost. The pickup and drop off point in San Sebastián is the Hotel Maria Christina. The drivers can only stop here and pickup from here. The Experience This tour is about context as much as consumption — understanding why fire matters here, why simplicity is revered, and how the Basques continue to influence chefs across the world. It is carefully paced, logistically seamless, and designed so that guests can focus entirely on the food, the people, and the place. For those who consider the Basque Country essential culinary ground, this is a rare opportunity to experience its most important tables in one exceptional journey. If you wish to extend your tour to include other restaurants then this can also be arranged. This tour is priced at 3250 GBP  A non-refundable deposit of 1500 GBP is required to secure a place on this tour. With the remaining balance due before September 1st 2026. To book please contact me directly via email at achefabroad@icloud.com or  DM me on Instagram @achefabroad We carefully plan each Achefabroad Tour in advance, but on rare occasions, adjustments may be necessary due to circumstances beyond our control. Should a change be required, we will arrange an alternative restaurant of the same cuisine and quality—if not even better. Please note that such changes do not entitle guests to a refund, discount, or cancellation.  

Burgundy is one of the most revered wine regions in the world. Yet its greatest wines are rarely discovered in tasting rooms. They are born in small, family-run domaines hidden behind discreet doors in the villages of the Côte d’Or, where generations of winemakers quietly craft some of the world’s most sought-after bottles. Through long-standing relationships with a handful of Burgundy’s most respected producers, Achefabroad, together with my partners in France can open doors that are normally closed to visitors. Guests are welcomed by the winemakers themselves to explore their vineyards, their cellars and the philosophy behind their wines, often tasting rare cuvées produced in extremely limited quantities

Burgundy produces some of the most limited wines in the world. Many of the cuvées tasted during this journey are produced in extremely small quantities and rarely opened outside the domaines themselves. Tasting these wines in the company of the winemakers offers a rare and privileged insight into Burgundy’s legendary terroirs.

While the heart of this journey lies in the vineyards and cellars, meals take place in carefully selected restaurants known for their authentic regional cuisine and exceptional Burgundy wine lists.

Rather than focusing on formal fine dining, Achefabroad favours restaurants where Burgundy’s culinary traditions and wines come together naturally.

For each meal, our expert guides curate the wines served at the table, ensuring remarkable pairings and the opportunity to continue discovering Burgundy’s great terroirs throughout the experience.

We visit Plénitude in Paris, Chef Arnaud Donckele's breathtaking three-Michelin-starred temple to the sauce inside the LVMH-owned Cheval Blanc; Le Doyenné, the farm-restaurant set within the grounds of the Château de Saint-Vrain, where two Australian chefs grow almost everything they cook; Bozar in Brussels, where chef Karen Torosyan's legendary pâté en croûte has made him one of Europe's most revered craftsmen, recognised with two Michelin Stars; Eliane, the intimate 8-seat counter where the one-Michelin-starred Kobe Desramaults has once again electrified a city with his most personal project yet (we will buy our the counter just for our group); Restaurant Willem Hiele, where the self-styled Viking chef holds one Michelin Star and cooks the North Sea in a brutalist former villa surrounded by Flemish polders; and a private lunch at Bistro Bruut, one of the most beloved and soulful restaurants in Bruges.
