Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find answers regarding our bespoke curatorial approach, booking procedures, and luxury travel partnerships.
What is your curatorial process?
We work closely with clients to understand their travel desires, culinary preferences, and pace of exploration. We then coordinate directly with our network of boutique estate owners, Michelin-starred chefs, and local curators to compile a highly customized itinerary.
Do you offer private flights and transfers?
Yes. We coordinate door-to-door luxury transportation, including private aviation charters, luxury yachts, and private chauffeured transfers throughout your voyage.
How far in advance should we book a signature expedition?
To guarantee exclusive access to historic châteaux, private estates, and seasonal vineyard experiences, we recommend initiating the planning phase 4 to 6 months prior to your desired departure date.
Can you accommodate specific dietary needs or preferences?
Absolutely. Part of our personalization process involves sharing detailed dietary profiles with our culinary partners, Michelin-starred alcoves, and private estate chefs before your arrival.
What destinations do you specialize in?
While we curate journeys worldwide, our signature expertise lies in the historic wine regions of Europe (Bordeaux, Tuscany, La Rioja, Champagne), the valleys of the Americas (Napa, Sonoma, Mendoza), and emerging luxury destinations in South America (Patagonia) and South Africa (Stellenbosch).
Can you coordinate private group itineraries or complete villa buyouts?
Yes. We specialize in coordinating private milestone celebrations, multi-generational family escapes, and executive corporate retreats. We arrange complete estate, château, or yacht buyouts alongside custom culinary programs led by local chefs.
Do you charge a flat planning fee or a commission?
We work on a transparent planning fee structure based on the duration and complexity of the itinerary. Because we prioritize direct local curator connections, we do not accept high-markup vendor commissions, ensuring our recommendations remain completely unbiased and focused on quality.
What is your cancellation and modification policy?
Because we secure highly exclusive bookings with independent luxury properties and private curators, cancellation and modification policies vary by itinerary. Your dedicated curator will outline these specific details during the consultation phase.
