Get ready to let loose the waistbands and make room for some delicious eats if you are headed out on one of Luxury Gold's journeys.
One of the cornerstones of each Luxury Gold vacation is exceptional dining that goes beyond the expected experiences on a guided vacation.
The Luxury Gold travel experience begins with food. Guests are invited to a welcome dinner where they are encouraged to relax, meet and greet fellow guests and get to know your Traveling Concierge.
Dining experiences are nothing short of exquisite. In fact, many Luxury Gold journeys include lunch or dinner at a Michelin-star restaurant. For example, on the Majestic Switzerland itinerary, guests are invited to experience La Ferme de l'Hospital, a 17th-century farmhouse that offers a creative menu featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients and a selection of local wines.
In Ireland, travelers on the Ultimate Ireland journey can sample classic French cuisine with a taste of Ireland at L'Ecrivain, which is noted as one of Dublin's best restaurants.
Highlight evenings are another way dining takes front and center on each itinerary. Luxury Gold seeks to wow guests with stand-out culinary experiences, both at restaurants or at impressive locations with special ambiance or outstanding views.
In India, for example, guests enjoy candlelight dining and centuries-old recipes at Restaurant 1135 AD, which transports them back in time to the opulence of royal households.
Insight Vacations' Luxury Gold journeys also go beyond just dining to include immersive culinary experiences that further connect guests to the local culture.
