The three experiences – each of which span four days – uniquely pair a selection of Krug’s most exclusive cuvées with some of the US’s most enthralling natural landscapes, with menus created by a number of the country’s most celebrated chefs.

The first, which runs October 17-20, heads to the wild Californian coast for an open-fire cooking experience in a secluded cove, with accommodation at the culinary mecca that is Harbor House Inn, in Elk. The second will take place from November 11-14, and invites culinary aficionados embark on personalized foraging experiences in the Vermont countryside, with a stay at the award-winning Twin Farms.

Concluding the trio of Indagare Insider Journeys: Discover the Krug Single Ingredient experiences is a voyage to Tennessee’s mystical Great Smoky Mountains on December 5-8, where the remote Blackberry Farms beckons. Each itinerary has been meticulously curated by Indagare Travel CEO and founder, Melissa Biggs Bradley, and will be hosted by designated culinary leaders and experts.
