A warm welcome to all of the members of our Aroma Tours Newsletter in over 30 countries around the world.
Robbi and I are thrilled that this year's tour season has begun so beautifully with our Flavours of Spain Tour and Spanish Gourmet Pilgrimage now successfully completed.
We will shortly be journeying to the magnificent Loire Valley to complete final preparations for our wonderful new Loire Valley Chateau Retreat and then onwards to Lyon and our beloved Provence to continue sharing our passion for the fabulous places and experiences that we love, with delightful people from around the world.
News Flash: 2 vacancies have just become available for our delightful and delicious Flavours of France Tour - more details below.
Without doubt, the main reason that we have grown and flourished over the years, is the on-going support that we have received from our past Aroma Travellers.
As we move beyond the difficulties of the last couple of years we are thrilled to see that they continue to make up more than 65% of our guests!

One of the best ways to enjoy the spirit of our Aroma Tours is by taking a peek at some of the photos we have taken during our adventures in Spain, France and Italy.
We also invite you visit our other Photo Galleries Pages to enjoy more of the 1000's of other lovely photos of our Aroma Tours adventures.
Our delightful and delicious Flavours of France Tour has now become our most popular offering - and for very good reason!
Experience the fascinating heart of Lyon, the gourmet capital of France and enjoy journeying through the beautiful vine clad countryside of Burgundy and Alsace with their gorgious hilltop villages, medieval towns, lush vineyards, spectacular chateau and gardens.
Elegant 5 star small luxury hotels and spectacular gourmet cuisine and wines are a feature of this tour.
Your taste buds will be tantalized in some of France's finest restaurants, from hidden gastronomic treasures, to spectacular 3 Michelin star fine dining; with a total of 6 Michelin stars during our week together.
There are currently 2 vacancies available for 2026 and we would love to share this spectacular and luxurious French gourmet adventure with you next year, but you will need to "Sieze the Day" to secure your place(s).

Please note
Robbi and I often look back at photos of our past adventures to remember the lovely times that we have shared with our Aroma Travellers.
We have gathered a healthy sample of photos for your viewing pleasure and we hope that you enjoy journeying along with us.
As well as couples and friends travelling together, we are regularly joined by solo travellers - mostly women, who appreciate being able to journey with liked minded people from around the world, without the need to do all the planning and take on the daunting task of touring by themselves.
Joining one of our small group tours is easy and we have already made all of the arrangements on your behalf to ensure that you have a delightful, stress-free holiday with the focus on having fun.
Having a ready-made group of friends to travel with, and us to take wonderful care of you is the way to go!
We have carefully crafted off-the-beaten-path itineraries that are the perfect balance of structure, experiences, details and free time to enjoy in your own way.
Robbi and I look forward to the pleasure of welcoming you to enjoy one of our delightful Aroma Tours in 2026.
Warmest regards,
Jim and Robbi
