Truffles, wine, foie gras and duck is the theme for BKWine’s first tour in 2008. The tour is open to a small
number of gastronomy enthusiasts and will take place on February 13-17, 2008.
The tour includes accommodation at a luxury chateau in the Bordeaux
region of France, a morning hunting truffles, followed by a sumptuous truffle lunch, a gourmet workshop on how to prepare foie gras and other
duck specialities as well as visits to a number of wine producers in Saint Emilion and Bergerac. Four
dinners and three lunches, all including wine, are also included in the package. The price for this
special four day tour is 1240 euro.
Britt
Karlsson, founder of BKWine and organiser of the tour, said, “I have
designed the program for this tour with the aim of giving the traveller some of the most exclusive and
unique gastronomic experiences there are: truffles, foie gras and wine. And I am happy to be able to
offer this at a very affordable price.”
Britt
added, “Spending a morning on a truffle hunt with a truffle dog is almost magical, and then sitting down to
an all-truffle lunch is a very special experience. The other gastronomic high point of the tour is the workshop on how to prepare a foie gras –
genuine duck liver.”
“We’re at a country side duck farm where we will also get to taste many other regional duck
specialities. Not to forget, of course, the four dinners we will have at the luxury Château des Vigiers chateau-hotel where we are staying.”
The tour is
guided and led by Britt Karlsson, who has more than ten years experience
organising and managing wine and food tours.
BKWine focuses solely on wine and gastronomic travel. Over the years the company has organised more than one hundred wine tours to
France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Hungary and Austria.
