We know CF readers are savvy travellers; people who look for culture and depth in every journey they take – which is why we’ve partnered with The Luminaire to offer one lucky reader £1,500 to put towards any of their bespoke, personalised journeys.
On any dream getaway, it’s the insights, the feelings, the lasting memories that remain – long after you’ve touched down back home. Enter, The Luminaire: a company dedicated to connecting curious travellers with the world via expert-inspired journeys.
All of The Luminaire’s itineraries offer a unique access – and unique insights – into your chosen destination, thanks to their curation in partnership with leading explorers, chefs, artists, historians, archeologists and photographers. Where will you go if you win this horizon-expanding prize?
Perhaps you’re looking for adventure? In which case consider a heli-safari in British Columbia where you’ll search for bears and hunt for fresh crab from the helicopter’s cabin. Then it’s back to your (movable) base: your luxury safari camp on this expedition travels with you from place to place, allowing you to wake up at varied locations, each equally stunning.
Heli safari in British Columbia
Are you a foodie keen to explore local cuisine? Book an Italian escape that starts in Milan before continuing through Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, dining on farm-chef-made lunches, sampling Barolo and Bararesco wines in a private setting, and visiting the culatello producer that supplied the ruling House of the Sforza Dukes during the Renaissance.
Leaning more towards the wine route? Explore Portugal’s Alentejo region via its vineyards, cork forests and olive groves, stopping for tastings at historic estates, plus bottle-blending and farm-to-table meals at countryside retreats.
The Sacred Valley, Peru
Perhaps you’ll choose a voyage through the Sacred Valley in Peru to restore mind, body and soul via Peruvian wellness, massage, yoga and meditation, where views and historic sites come as standard; learn about the Japanese Samurai on a six-day journey from Tokyo to Kagoshima, exploring Japan’s Edo period warrior nobles as you travel; or stay in a Norwegian lighthouse to learn about the country’s unique biodiversity, coastal traditions and Nordic wellness rituals.
Each The Luminaire itinerary offers something different to the next; whether delving into the history and traditions of a region, learning more about a culture, or eating your way around some of the freshest farms in the world. For our lucky reader, the hardest part of winning this bespoke and tailored prize will be choosing where – and what – to discover next.
