This is for all you Mildrovers who missed out on previous Matt and Gary food tours and fancy a Sri Lankan odyssey with the two gentlemen of impeccable food taste, if not aways sartorial splendour (I’m looking at you, Matt).
No need to give it the hard sell, suffice to say, it’ll be sold out before you can say Dilmah tea bags so don’t dilly dally, get to the Luxury Escapes link down the bottom and by all means read their tempting copy on the way down.
Aromatic spice gardens, fragrant tea fields and authentic street food – your ticket to a once-in-a-lifetime journey through Sri Lanka is here. Planned, designed and hosted by two of Australia’s most beloved food critics, former MasterChef judges Matt Preston and Gary Mehigan, this tour is an unforgettable way to discover one of the world’s top travel destinations.
Join Matt and Gary on their curated itinerary covering the country’s unmissable foodie spots. Crack into multi-award-winning seafood at Ministry of Crab, set within Colombo’s 400-year-old Dutch Hospital. Sample showstopping cocktails and wood-smoked fare at acclaimed Smoke & Bitters, then celebrate local delicacies at the exclusive Luxury Escapes Market Festival in Galle.
Along the way, unearth ancient jungle ruins and historic fortresses. Learn how to prepare a traditional meal in a local village, then take a scenic train into Nuwara Eliya where the masters pluck delicate Ceylon leaves in the verdant highlands. Find Asian elephants in the wilds of Minneriya National Park, then climb the 1,200 steps of Sigiriya Rock Fortress for a truly humbling sunrise. At every turn, uncover the generosity and warm hospitality the locals are known for, sharing in their passion for flavourful food.
Each stay offers something special, from Galle Face Hotel’s iconic Indian Oceanfront views to the Elizabethan manor-style elegance of The Grand Hotel, high in tea country. Plus, get there in comfort with return international flights on Singapore Airlines – named ‘Best Airline’ by Business Traveller and crowned ‘World’s Best Airline’ by Skytrax in 2023.
Experience Sri Lanka’s finest weather during the island’s best season for a truly magical adventure. With one departure only, places on this tour are exclusive and limited. Lock in your spot now.
