MORE MODERN TAKES In Western Australia at Perth’s Greenhouse, indulge in locally raised beef paired with bush tomato chutney and saltbush, a wild, peppery plant. When in Darwin, we recommend Char for its impressive list of aged beef, or savor a smorgasbord of steaks and exotic game at Overlanders Steakhouse in the Red Centre town of Alice Springs.

FROM THE SEA TO LAND Perpetually surrounded by water, Tasmanians maintain a deep connection to their maritime culture. Whet your appetite on a kayaking tour of Hobart, Tasmania’s waterfront capital, offering coastline views of the historic Battery Point neighborhood and fishing wharfs afloat on the River Derwent. Dock for a special treat, sampling freshly battered fish and chips as your kayak bobs in the harbor and your guide regales you with tales of Hobart’s rich history. On land, taste the fruits of the sea as you indulge in a creamy scallop pie — a distinctly Tasmanian dish that originated from Hobart’s wharfs in the 19th century. Experience a day in the life of a Tasmanian fisherman on a Seafood Seduction Cruise. Sail the sheltered waters around Bruny Island, where you’ll hoist rock lobsters from the sea, sample the freshest
sashimi and watch as divers surface with wild-caught, prized abalone. Sink into leather seats as onboard chefs skillfully prepare your day’s catch, served with artisan breads and cheeses and paired with local wines and craft beers. Along with Tasmania’s plentiful waters, the rich soil and regular rainfall have made this island-state a fertile playground for local food producers and growers. Broaden your culinary knowledge at The Agrarian Kitchen in the Derwent Valley, located 45 minutes from Hobart. With an onsite vegetable patch, roosts of laying chickens and a buzzing apiary for honey, all the resources for a farm-to-table cooking school are couched in this 19th-century former schoolhouse. During a private class, craft handmade pasta or perfect the art of charcuterie with guidance from professional bakers, butchers and beekeepers.
INDULGE IN NATIVE TRADITIONS It’s easy to uncover indigenous ingredients in Australia’s “Top End” in the Northern Territory where native traditions endure. The UNESCO World Heritage-recognized Kakadu National Park is the perfect place to explore Australia’s “bush tucker” cuisine: berries, wild wattleseed and local meats like kangaroo and crocodile. Abundant, sustainable and delicious, it’s no wonder that barramundi is Australia’s favorite fish — and the Northern Territory is an ideal place to hook them. Charter a private fishing safari from Bamurru Plains, a luxury bush lodge next to Kakadu National Park, and enjoy exclusive access to the teeming creeks of the Mary River, or cast off into the shallow floodplains as you skip along in an airboat.

URBAN DINING ADVENTURES Melbourne’s chic city center is packed with urban culinary gems, from cutting-edge cuisine to charming coffee shops. The fare at Vue de Monde puts a contemporary spin on traditional cuisine with dishes like wallaby carpaccio, prepared tableside on a slab of Himalayan salt and plated with marigold petals and an herb emulsion. At Attica, chef Ben Shewry incorporates a pantry full of inherently Australian ingredients into his tasting menu, which highlights bunya nuts and lightly fried mussels. Down an unassuming laneway, you’ll find Movida Bar de Tapas taking a bold and innovative approach to traditionally Spanish tapas, like

JourneseSM Independent Vacation
Sounds of Silence, Northern Territory
Discover a fusion of traditional and modern cuisine in the heart of Nitmiluk National Park as you glide on a Nabilil Dreaming Sunset Dinner Cruise through Katherine Gorge. Drift between towering sandstone walls carved out by the Katherine River as your expert guide points out native rock art and regales you with tales of the Jawoyn people who are the traditional land owners of the area. Toast the sunset with a sparkling glass of Champagne and dine by candlelight on star ingredients like crocodile, quandong, damper and native spices. Complete your outback adventure by dining under the stars with Uluru (Ayers Rock) as the backdrop to a decadent meal during the Sounds of Silence experience. Savor canapés and chilled sparkling wine while overlooking Uluru-Kata Tjuta National
Park. Then as the sun sets enjoy a traditional Aboriginal dance performance over a bush tucker inspired buffet, and end the evening listening to a star talker narrate the twinkling night sky. WEST COAST CUISINE On the west side of the continent, a diverse climate and rich terroir have molded Western Australia into a modern culinary destination. A three-hour drive south of Perth, the Margaret River region is a sunny, temperate zone where more than 100 wineries rest in proximity to timber forests and surfing beaches. From chardonnay to cabernet sauvignon, the cellar doors of Margaret River’s vineyards offer tantalizing tastings paired with world-class cuisine. At Cullen Wines, biodynamic viticulture
complements a menu of local fare in the onsite restaurant — the wood-fired sourdough bread is delightful when piled with Fremantle sardines and enjoyed with a view of the sprawling vineyards. Or take a private tour of the region, sipping shiraz from the family-owned Lenton Brae and art gallery-enriched Vasse Felix; and don’t miss an opportunity to stay for an awardwinning degustation at Wills Domain in the picturesque Gunyulgup Valley. Further inland, Manjimup’s oak and hazelnut forests secret the black Périgord truffles prized by chefs around the world. Join a thrilling hunt for these fragrant morsels with the Wine & Truffle Company, the largest truffière in the southern hemisphere, led by the resident black labrador Bella.

LA DOLCE VITA in Montalcino, Italy The town of Montalcino sits atop a gentle hill, hemmed by a centuries-old fortress from which olive groves and cypress trees stretch into the horizon. This region is famous for its wine, Brunello di Montalcino, thanks to vintners who championed the sangiovese grape starting in the 17th century and pioneered the oak barrel-aged wines that have become a treasured Italian export. A stay at Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco deepens your immersion into Montalcino’s celebrated wine culture.

varieties of vegetables and herbs thrive under the Tuscan sun. Uncork a vintage bottle at the Ristorante Campo del Drago as you overlook the property’s hewn-stone farmhouse villas and raise a toast to la dolce vita. Countryside Escapes in Perthshire, Scotland Only an hour north from the Scottish hubs of Edinburgh and Glasgow, Perthshire is a secluded hideaway that calls to mind a perfectly painted landscape: snow melts into bubbling waterways that run through lush glens and woodlands flare into sunset hues. The region’s favorite drink is reminiscent of the amber light that descends here in autumn — whiskey has been distilled at Perthshire’s Edradour since 1825, along with several other distilleries that offer the chance to tour and taste your fill of drams.
Turtle Bay Resort
Discover the essence of true Scotch whiskey, whether sipping a pour from a 26-year-old bottle matured at Glenturret, or malts produced by independent distillery Tullibardine. Visit the exclusive cellars at Gleneagles Hotel, an iconic resort that has been an integral part of the Perthshire countryside for more than 90 years. Under the guidance of a seasoned ambassador, you’ll create your own custom blend and sample exceptional spirits plucked from some of the rarest reserves. The resort boasts 850 total acres devoted to tranquil accommodations and Scottish pursuits. Try your hand at falconry, one of Scotland’s oldest sports and a traditionally royal pastime, as a professional instructor shares the techniques used to train these majestic birds of prey. Golf enthusiasts can practice their swing on three legendary greens, including the crowning jewel, the King’s Course, which predates even the
Coastal Adventures on O‘ahu’s North Shore A scenic one-hour drive from Waikīkī leads you to O‘ahu’s fabled North Shore, an enclave on the opposite side of the majestic Ko‘olau Range. Island bliss meets rural retreat in the community of Kahuku. Discover seven miles of pristine coast and uncover local secrets like plump shrimp bathed in garlic and butter served from roadside food trucks. Gleaming white beaches give way to astonishing waves that tower up to five stories tall, making the North Shore a prime location to spot legendary surfers. Dive into your own underwater utopia snorkeling among coral reefs, sea turtles and brilliant fish; invigorate your body and soul with standup paddleboard yoga; or seek out a private beach picnic at the foot of a prehistoric volcano. O‘ahu’s Turtle Bay Resort has redefined luxury on the North Shore thanks to $45 million of renovations to its 400 rooms and suites. Find nirvana at the hotel’s Nalu Kinetic Spa, which uses marine-infused
products and native ingredients in its menu of treatments. Try the signature Nalu massage, emulating the movements of the same lapping waves that ease you into total bliss in an oceanfront cabana. With an onsite farm, a bird sanctuary and seaside strolling paths, Turtle Bay Resort is a shangri-la of authentic Hawaiian culture and ambiance. Artistic Endeavors in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico In San Miguel de Allende, cobblestone streets are lined with burnt-sienna buildings and flowering jacaranda trees, as the spires of Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel’s punctuate the skyline in the UNESCO World Heritage town square. The city’s vivid palette of pink stucco and cobalt-blue pottery inspires your private visits to local art galleries. At Fábrica la Aurora, savor a glass of wine on the café-gallery’s tiled terrace before stopping into the studios to meet working artists. Listen to their personal stories and inspirations behind each work of art, and purchase an original piece — perhaps a painted tin box or hand-stitched silk embroidery — to add to your treasure trove of memories. Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada embodies Mexico’s colonial allure, rendered
in stone arches and sun-whitened wooden doors within the historic center of San Miguel de Allende. Scattered among six casonas (historic mansions), the hotel’s 37 rooms feature one-of-a-kind antiques and quarry-stone fireplaces. The hotel’s sculpture garden, tucked amidst leafy terraces and lantern-lit courtyards, is a continued reminder of the inspired craftsmanship that exists in every corner. You’ll also find artful and authentic Mexican cuisine at Andanza Restaurant, like coconut shrimp complemented by pineapple compote and guajillo chili, boasting flavors as vibrant as the local color.

High–Flying Explorer See the city’s appeal from new heights as you soar above the clouds at Vancouver Lookout, perched on the top of the downtown Harbour Centre complex. A glass elevator whisks you more than 500 feet up, affording a 360-degree perspective of the cityscape embraced by the Pacific Ocean and North Shore Mountains. Tucked at the foot of the majestic range lies the Capilano Suspension Bridge, towering 230 feet above the Capilano River. For another mid-air feat in the same park, cross the cantilevered Cliffwalk, jutting from granite escarpments. Portions of the walkway are supported by sturdy glass, providing a thrilling view of the canyon below. Delve deeper into the wilderness at Grouse Mountain, where the Skyride lofts you over fir-populated peaks for an aerial view of Vancouver en route to the mountaintop Observatory restaurant. Relax over a five-course tasting menu paired with wines as the sun sets and the city’s lights begin to shimmer. Devote more time to the charms of British Columbia as you wind your way north along the scenic Sea to Sky Corridor to the neighboring town of Squamish, where you can satisfy your adventurous side on the Sea to Sky Gondola. Enclosed cabins soar 2,903 feet high, revealing sweeping views of the Howe Sound fjord enveloped by coastal forests and mountain peaks. At the top, stand above the treetops on the Pilot Suspension Bridge, a dramatic walkway suspended in the air, overlooking alpine ridges and the fjord thousands of feet below. Seafaring Adventurer With waterways surrounding the city, sightseeing by sea is a perfect way to experience Vancouver’s gems. Tour Vancouver Harbour on a Zodiac-style cruise to catch highlights like Stanley Park, occupying over 1,000 acres on the border of downtown, and the eco-friendly Vancouver Convention Centre poised on the waterfront. Dock at Granville Island for lunch at the public market, offering everything from fish and chips and authentic Indian curry to warm donuts with raspberry jam. Another network through the heart of the city is False Creek, an ideal thoroughfare to explore by kayak. With an expert guide, float past the seaside homes and bay-inlet beaches clustered along the banks. Or devote a day to paddling out to Vancouver’s outlying lakes and sounds for a scenic tour of the lower mainland’s natural wonders. Ask any water-obsessed local their preferred method of transport and they’ll point you to BC Ferries — climb on board for service across the Georgia Strait in just 95 minutes. You’ll arrive on Vancouver Island, where the capital city of Victoria punctuates the southern tip, making it a sublime spot for salmon fishing or a swim at Willow’s Beach.

decorated with colorful frescos detailing the story of the Swiss national hero. For a breathtaking adventure, wind up the face of Mt. Pilatus on the world’s steepest cogwheel railway, traversing alpine flower meadows and glittering mountain streams. Walkers can easily explore Lucerne’s city sights — don’t miss the Chapel Bridge, one of Europe’s oldest covered bridges and a medieval masterpiece adorned with painted gables. Climb the Zytturm tower to hear the city’s oldest clock chime on the hour and soak in the view of saw-toothed ridges as far as the eye can see. Beyond the Beaten path The cantons of Appenzell Innerrhoden and St. Gallen, on the doorstep of the Austrian and German borders, are off-thebeaten-path sanctuaries of Swiss tradition. Spend the morning hiking the picturesque Alpstein — a mountain range sprawled across the area, dominated by 8,200-foot Mount Santis and dotted with 27 alpine inns. Arrive in time for lunch at Äscher cliff restaurant, carved directly into a vertical face that overlooks a plunging valley. Enjoy the iconic Swiss rosti (a patty of fried potatoes) before descending into Appenzell village on one of six aerial cableways. Here, charming lanes are bustling with small boutiques adorned with painted frescos. In autumn, the streets fill with costumed locals leading a parade of cattle, culminating with the crowning of the loveliest bovine beauty. An International Crossroad Tucked at the confluence of the Rhône and Arve rivers near the French border, Geneva’s international flair balances perfectly with uniquely Swiss traditions. The city has a stamp of world influence and humanitarian history evidenced by its nickname “the capital of peace.” Both the International Red Cross and Palace of the United Nations are headquartered here. Also well-known for its timepieces, the Patek Philippe museum showcases exquisitely crafted clocks and watches produced by master horologists dating back to the 16th century. The Flower Clock, located in the English Garden, is a beacon of Geneva’s watchmaking acclaim, comprised of 6,500 blooms and an eight-foot hand that tells time with trademark precision.

terraced vineyards, as sunlight bouncing off the lake nourishes crops of Chasselas grapes. Sip a cool glass of fendant as you indulge in Raclette cheese, another distinctively Swiss creation. Produced exclusively in the nearby mountain pastures of Valais, this pungent cheese is heated and the melted goodness is scraped onto your plate, to be savored with meat, potatoes and pickles. Gstaad’s Alpine Adventures The heartland of Bernese Oberland is home to Gstaad Saanenland, a year-round favorite among jetsetters seeking powdery ski slopes and summer mountain adventures. In the pedestrian-friendly village of Gstaad, you’ll find luxury shopping, posh chalets and wellness outposts inspired by the backdrop of rushing streams and forested hills. Kids travel for free on the town’s lifts and cable cars, leading to family-friendly adventures like a toboggan ride on the Alpine Coaster,
which swishes 19 feet above meadows painted in velvety green. Families can learn the art of Alpine cheese making at a local dairy, then sample some of Switzerland’s finest fondue at Saagi Stübli in the Hotel Gstaaderhof. Another homage to Swiss food, Michelin-starred Chesery occupies a former cheese dairy and stuns with a sophisticated menu of seasonal dishes and decadent desserts — try the locally-sourced veal steak, and finish with a chocolate soufflé made to order. The Heart of Switzerland Journey into central Switzerland via Lucerne, an adventure-seeker’s paradise thanks to the impressive peaks that wrap around Lake Lucerne. Sail shimmering waters on a paddlewheel steamer, or dock at Rütli Meadow for a scenic stroll along Swiss Path trails. Pause to admire heritage landmarks like the miniscule Beroldingen Castle and William Tell’s tiny chapel,
Switzerland, Italian Style Intersecting the southern side of the Alps, just north of the Italian border, tropical palm trees and lush chestnut forests lend Ticino a unique Mediterranean flavor. Ticino’s regional cuisine offers a Swiss flair to classic Italian dishes like polenta and risotto. Risotto ticinese is ubiquitous — served in both upscale restaurants and festival-season booths in the town square — often prepared according to tradition using Switzerland’s only natively-grown rice from Terreni alla Maggia farm. Taste Osteria Carletti’s version as you dine under a flourishing grape arbor, or try creamy risotto accompanied by luganighe (pork sausages) in the city’s cozy grottoes. Balmy weather also provides the ideal climate for trekking amidst 2,000 miles of hiking trails that wind along the shores of Lake Maggiore and ascend hamlet-inhabited mountain passes. Follow a former mule trader’s route through the Valle Verzasca for a collection of 30 unexpected trailside sculptures. Whether you prefer to stroll the wine trails of Lavaux with private cellar tastings along the way or dine on spätzle in a family-run chalet after a mountain hike, contact us to craft your uniquely Swiss experience using our insider knowledge and expertise.
