Welcome to the World of MBI !

Since creating our first culinary adventure in 1989, we have followed a simple philosophy; experience the best the world has to offer; share it with others, and have a great time doing it! We have taken travelers on fantastic culinary adventures throughout Europe, each customized to offer all the great sights, and the small places in between, together with beautiful accommodations and unforgettable gastronomic experiences.

Our travels take us to every region of France, from the breathtaking Mediterranean vistas, old stones and ancient olive groves of the South; the historic beaches and fishing ports of Normandy, to the wild rocky coastline of Brittany. We step back into pre-history in the Dordogne; enjoy the famous foie gras of Perigord and the legendary cuisine of Burgundy, hunt for truffles in the Loire Valley, fall in love with romantic Paris and everything in between. Our horizons expand to include adventures in Spain, Italy, and Germany and beyond!

All details are taken care of to ensure you the best possible experience. Whether you’re browsing in a village market or exclusive boutique, sipping wine in a vineyard, visiting a local farmhouse production of cheese or foie gras, enjoying an exquisite meal, exploring an ancient chateau or simply people watching while enjoying a cappuccino in a sun-drenched café, be assured that MBI brings you only the finest there is to offer.
