Taster Holidays
There are all sorts of reasons why people join our holidays. For some, it’s a chance to take a breath after a big life moment, while for others it’s about meeting some new faces and trying something unexpected. Often, we find it’s the chance to do something for ourselves that’s most exciting. Whatever the catalyst, Flavours Holidays helps you leave the day-to-day behind and explore, not only new places but a new side of yourself.
Our activity holidays are great for bringing together like-minded people, but if you haven’t yet taken the plunge and want to get an overarching view of what we offer, our Taster Weeks are perfect. You’ll find all the Flavours hallmarks of beautiful locations and historic accommodation, chosen with your comfort in mind to include an ensuite, private pool, and stunning views – without a single supplement! There’ll be a live-in, local host who will welcome the group and be your guide on excursions to nearby towns and must-see sites. As well as a private chef to whip up fresh, authentic meals daily and ensure your Prosecco glass is always full.
Every day will look different as we work through creative pursuits like painting or photography, accompanied by an experienced tutor who will establish your experience level, set goals, and help you achieve them throughout the week. Our guests love being active, so many of our Taster Weeks feature Pilates or yoga sessions, always led by a trained instructor, often by the pool so you can soak up the sun and calming views. There’s also the chance to go on long walks and explore the surrounding area, or grab your Nordic Walking poles to take the tempo up a notch and engage your core.
Food is a huge part of what we do, so wherever your trip, get ready to roll your sleeves up and get your hands dirty in the kitchen. Throughout your time with us, there are several opportunities to cook meals native to the region, using fresh, seasonal ingredients, often hand-picked by you at a farmer’s market. With a glass of wine in hand, you’ll spend a few mornings separated into groups, working on dishes to be enjoyed for lunch so that you can try the spoils.
But, our Taster Weeks aren’t just for first timers, they’re for anyone who wants to break away from the everyday. They say variety is the spice of life, and we really think our mix of creative hobbies, wellness-focused activities, and cooking lessons, combined with day trips out to non-touristy spots, vineyards, and historic towns has something for everyone.
