Can Forest Travel secure reservations at fully-booked, Michelin-starred restaurants?

Yes. Through decades of relationships with chefs and maître d's, we hold tables at restaurants that are otherwise impossible to book — from DiverXO in Madrid to Central in Lima — and arrange the timing, the room and the menu around you.

What private dining experiences can you arrange?

Chef's tables, private dining rooms, a Michelin chef cooking in your villa, and one-off tasting menus designed for your party. The kitchen comes to you as readily as we take you to it.

Can you plan an entire journey around the world's best restaurants?

Yes. We design culinary itineraries built around the tables you want — Central in Lima, DiverXO in Madrid, the great rooms of Tokyo, Paris and the Amalfi Coast — and the regions, growers and producers behind them.

What about unique destination or on-mountain dining?

Of course — experiences like Cloud Nine Alpine Bistro and Beano's Cabin in Aspen, reserved in advance with private transfers and timing handled, so a legendary lunch fits seamlessly into your day.

How do you get tables that are otherwise impossible to book?

Not with a booking engine — with long-standing, personal relationships with chefs, restaurateurs and the properties around them. It is access, not availability.

At the Table

Culinary & Wine

Private tables, cellar doors and markets at dawn — journeys that travel through a place by way of its flavours.

Scroll

To understand a place, eat where it eats. These journeys open private tables, family estates and chef's counters — from Italian vineyards to Aegean harvests to the quiet precision of a Japanese kaiseki.

Signature Journeys

Points of departure.

Each of these is a starting point — not a package, not a fixed schedule. Your advisor reshapes it entirely around you.

Southern Europe · The Italian & French Coasts

Italy & the French Table

A truffle hunt in Umbria, long lunches above the Amalfi Coast, and the markets of the Côte d'Azur — the Mediterranean, by way of its kitchens.

Designed to your pace Explore the Journey

Mediterranean Europe · The Aegean

An Aegean Harvest

Assyrtiko tastings on volcanic soil, a catch landed that morning, and dinners where the table is the destination.

Designed to your pace Explore the Journey

Asia Pacific

The Art of Kaiseki

A held sushi counter in Tokyo, kaiseki in a private ryokan, and a chef's table in Bangkok — precision, then abundance.

A Note From Forest Travel Forty years, one hundred and twenty countries,
and a single way of working.

The journey, not the package

What we put in front of you here are starting points — emotional identities, not itineraries to buy as-is. The privilege of working with an advisor is that none of it is fixed. The villa, the table, the pace, the hours kept private — all of it is reshaped around your people, your timing, the version of culinary & wine only you would recognise.

Access, not availability.

A reservation is the easy part — when you can get one. What we set before you is access: the counter seat held back, the cellar opened, the table that does not take the public — through forty years of relationships, never searched or booked.

Modena · Italy

A table at a three-star osteria the night it was 'full', after a truffle hunt with the family who supplies it.

Impossible to search — we made the call.

San Sebastián · Spain

A seat at a counter that takes no public bookings, arranged by the chef who trained there.

Impossible to search — we made the call.

None of these were on any itinerary. Yours won't be either.
