For me, food is a very important part of travel. I’m sure you’ll agree, which is why I highly recommend that fellow foodies flock to the highly anticipated Taste of Courmayeur Festival that takes place at the end of January 2018.

Once the sun goes down, the fun continues with cool parties each night, consisting of tasty dishes, cocktails, fine wine, DJs and plenty of dancing. If you enjoy the finer things in life, you will certainly feel at home at this festival, which is sure to be a valuable and unforgettable experience. It is also a brilliant opportunity to meet some likeminded people in a unique setting.
Great Skiing
In addition to its food, the region is famous for its skiing, so be sure to bring your gear along and shred some powder during your stay. This is an ideal way of burning some calories after a few days of indulgence. There is a lot of variety when it comes to the slopes at the foot of Mont Blanc, enabling you to put your skills to the test and develop your abilities and confidence during your trip.
How to Get There
To get to the Taste of Courmayeur Festival, you will want to fly from London into Geneva Airport. This takes around 90 minutes and easyJet, British Airways, Swiss and Lufthansa all offer direct flights from the Capital.
To reach Courmayeur from Geneva, I recommend that you pre-book a Shuttle Direct transfer. This spares you from the hassle of public transportation or from queuing for a taxi – instead, all you have to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic ride. One of our experienced drivers can pick you up in one of our premium cars and get you to your hotel in around an hour and a half. Be sure to let us know if you are bringing your ski gear so that we can arrange a large enough vehicle for you to ride comfortably.
This year’s Taste of Courmayeur Festival is certain to be a fabulous event with good food, fine wine and an electric atmosphere
, which you’ll enjoy even more if you take in the marvellous views of Mont Blanc. Don’t miss out!
