The Cooks Tour

Here and There in The Culinary Galilee

Crafting Unique Culinary Adventures

Culinary adventurers who wish to further explore Galilean cuisine are in for an unforgettable experience. As the Galilee’s culinary experts, let us curate (build?) an experience based on your tastes, and discover the hidden gems off the beaten culinary track. We will show you a side of the Galil that even many locals don’t know. We work with a variety of olive presses and growers, coffee roasters, a traditional flour mill, wineries, arak distillers, boutique dairies, micro-breweries and more. Whether you’re interested in agritourism, farm-to-table, or authentic local vendors, we will build an unique itinerary that can range from a few hours for those that are short of time, or encounters of two-days or more for those wishing to truly indulge.

We’re up for challenges

There’s nothing we love more than broadening our culinary horizons. Our team is always ready to take on exciting new requests in order to deliver beyond your expectations. Take us on our word.
