We’re passionate about food, wine, and beer, and love to learn about (and taste!) these delectables straight from the source. We are serious about creating memorable culinary vacations but like to keep things casual and fun. You need not be a connoisseur to enjoy our tours. You just need enthusiasm and an appetite for new experiences.
Why Travel with Taste Vacations
Experience
We’re no stranger to the complexities, hiccups, and joys of planning epic vacations. We launched Taste Vacations® because we love exploring the world’s best food, wine, and beer destinations and wanted to share our passion with others. Our small Taste Vacations team has over 50 years of experience in the specialty tour industry and has the knowledge and experience needed to make your next vacation unforgettable.
Fixed-Date Public Vacations: The Best Trips Open to Everyone
Every year we offer a selection of the best tours on specific dates that are open for anyone to sign up to travel. With a small group public tour you don’t have to do any organizing, and you get the chance to meet and have a lot of fun with other people who have the same travel interests as you.
Private Trips: Your group, your dates, your destination
The majority of our travelers join us on a memorable private vacation to one of our exciting tour destinations where they gather their friends and family and choose their own dates. See below for more about the opportunity to host a group trip for your club or organization, or to collaborate to offer group tours specifically tailored for your business, clients, or followers.
Taste Vacations Connect Facebook Group
If you are interested in a specific private Taste Vacation but have run into not meeting a minimum number of travelers required for a tour, we have created an online group to help you to find other travelers in the same situation.
Share your interests via the group page and once you find travel companions thinking about the same destination, let us know we’ll take care of the rest! Get connected today >>
Host a Group Trip
Do you belong to a group, club, or organization that would be interested in traveling together? We can organize a tour itinerary and dates exclusive to your group, and as the group’s ‘host’ you can either earn a commission for each paying guest or enjoy a free vacation with the organization! Learn more about the benefits, your role as host, and how to start planning.
Collaborative Partnerships for Exclusive Events
Taste Vacations® has been partnering with businesses, artists, musicians, and individuals to organize and run tours specific to their purpose, focus, or passion, for more than 20 years. We collaborate to provide an exclusive event for your group. We work together to pick the destination, the theme, and the activities tailored for your business, clients, or followers. We plan and execute all of the logistics for each trip, from booking each guest to our expert guides leading the trip to surveying the group for feedback upon completion of the tour. You market the trip to your audience, serve as the liaison, earn a commission for each paying guest, and get to enjoy a free vacation with your group or organization.

We’re In Good Company
Taste Vacations® is a part of the Zephyr United group of brands. Although that makes us sound large, in reality we are a small group of dedicated travel industry veterans. Our sister company, Zephyr Adventures, has been in business since 1997 and we drew upon this experience when creating Taste Vacations. Our other sister, Travel Montana, offers active vacations in what we consider one of the best outdoor adventure locations in the world – and our home state.
