Accommodations & Cuisine
At Country Walkers, we’re always looking for the best a region has to offer—especially when it comes to cuisine and accommodations. After a full day of actively exploring on foot, you deserve to be rewarded with the finest: an exceptional meal, a special glass (or two) of fine wine, and a comfortable rest at a delightful lodge or distinctive inn. That’s why we choose only local landmarks that meet our strict standards for authenticity, quality, hospitality, and commitment to responsible tourism. hospitality.

A Taste of the Traditional

A region’s cuisine celebrates the subtle nuances of the land and honors its rich heritage. Using the freshest local ingredients, talented chefs prepare inspired cultural dishes and drinks that follow age-old culinary traditions. Olive tapenade and lamb grilled with herbes de Provence in France. The refreshing and tart ice-cold limoncello liqueur sipped along the Amalfi Coast.  Freshly caught salmon enhanced with fine wines and garden-picked herbs in the Olympic Peninsula. Traditional Maine lobster accompanied by wild blueberries. Slow-cooked Moroccan tajine, boasting a savory blend of tender meats and stewed vegetables. Freshly pressed olive oil drizzled on Tuscan flatbread (accompanied by a world-renowned wine, of course). Savor the local favorites on every Country Walkers tour.

Your Homes Away from Home

Imagine…returning from an exhilarating day on the trail to the Earl of Pembroke’s former estate in the southwest of Ireland; admiring 19th-century Bulgarian art and antiquities in a converted Renaissance house; watching the sun climb over the rim of the Grand Canyon from a national landmark hotel; sipping a sundowner (traditional drink) on the deck of your thatched-roof luxury cabin in South Africa; drifting to sleep under starry desert skies at a traditional Moroccan camp. Be assured, wherever Country Walkers travels, you will enjoy accommodations that leave a lasting impression, provide easy access to the world’s best walking terrain, and meet our strict environmentally friendly criteria.
