eating. It is part of a global, grassroots movement with
thousands of members in over 150 countries, which links the
pleasure of food with a commitment to
community and the environment," explains Nico Zenner,
President of Brendan Vacations.
Boutique Journeys are a collection of premium
vacations which accommodate as few as two guests and a
maximum of only 24, letting guests delve deeper
into local traditions, bond more tightly with their travel
companions and interact more personally with the people they meet
along the way. Everything from enriching
excursions and ideally located
accommodations to festive meals and
exquisite wine tastings are designed to bring
travelers that much closer to the sights they venture to the
corners of the world not just to see, but to experience.
