Guided by the bite®

We believe that you don’t truly know someone until you spend time in the kitchen together. At Authentic Explorations, we specialize in custom getaways that use cuisine as a gateway to culture. With our network of locally based collaborators and experts, you will have unparalleled access to your destination’s best kept secrets. We invite you to explore, taste the culture and be guided by the bite.

 Where do you want to go?

From faraway adventures like private chateaux tours in Burgundy, sailing trips around the Greek islands and paella cooking lessons in a traditional barraca, to nearby escapes around The Americas like diving with whales in Turks & Caicos and tasting Cabernets through Napa Valley, we invite you to indulge in a bit of daydreaming and read about the incredible destinations and experiences we have in store for you.

20 Years in the making

 While Authentic Explorations may be new, we have actually been around for 20 years now. The company was founded in 2002 as Authentic Sicily, then expanded to become Authentic Italy seven years ago. Now, thanks to our tremendous success in delivering high quality experiences throughout Italy, we are ready for our biggest expansion yet.
