Truffles, Wine, and Foie Gras the Theme for BKWine’s First Tour in 2008

Truffles, wine, foie gras and duck is the theme for BKWine’s first tour in 2008. The tour is open to a small number of gastronomy enthusiasts and will take place on February 13-17, 2008.

The tour includes accommodation at a luxury chateau in the Bordeaux region of France, a morning hunting truffles, followed by a sumptuous truffle lunch, a gourmet workshop on how to prepare foie gras and other duck specialities as well as visits to a number of wine producers in Saint Emilion and Bergerac. Four dinners and three lunches, all including wine, are also included in the package. The price for this special four day tour is 1240 euro.

Britt Karlsson, founder of BKWine and organiser of the tour, said, “I have designed the program for this tour with the aim of giving the traveller some of the most exclusive and unique gastronomic experiences there are: truffles, foie gras and wine. And I am happy to be able to offer this at a very affordable price.”

Britt added, “Spending a morning on a truffle hunt with a truffle dog is almost magical, and then sitting down to an all-truffle lunch is a very special experience. The other gastronomic high point of the tour is the workshop on how to prepare a foie gras – genuine duck liver.”

“We’re at a country side duck farm where we will also get to taste many other regional duck specialities. Not to forget, of course, the four dinners we will have at the luxury Château des Vigiers chateau-hotel where we are staying.”

The tour is guided and led by Britt Karlsson, who has more than ten years experience organising and managing wine and food tours.

BKWine focuses solely on wine and gastronomic travel. Over the years the company has organised more than one hundred wine tours to France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Hungary and Austria.
