Our Turkey trip will be capped at 15 people—an intimate, small-group experience. It’s fully guided, most meals are included (31, to be exact!), hotels and transport are taken care of, and we’ve built in plenty of flexibility for independent exploring. Whether you’re a shopper, a foodie, or someone who just wants to take it all in at a comfy pace, we make it your trip.

Where We’re Headed (And What You’ll Experience)
On this adventure, you can expect:

Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar: Over 4,000 stalls—bring an extra bag for rugs and spices!

Cappadocia: Sleep in “fairy house” rock formations and, if you’re up for it, experience a sunrise hot air balloon ride over otherworldly landscapes.

Ephesus: Walk ancient Roman streets, explore an intact library, and imagine the apostles’ footsteps from two millennia ago.

Pamukkale, seaside villages, and more: Each region offers its own flavor—literally and culturally.

The buzz around Turkey just keeps growing. When I first announced this trip, so many people said Turkey was on their bucket list, but they felt unsure about signing up for a group. Well, let me tell you: the time is right! My dear friend , who literally travels for a living, just messaged me from Istanbul to say Turkey is now in his top three destinations ever. He raved about the timing and described it as “a trip like nothing you’ve experienced before.” And I couldn’t agree more.⁠

I am so excited for this April 9-20, 2026. Hear about this magical destination and book by December 1st and save $200 per traveller

🌶️ NEW EPISODE DROP! 🌶️

This week on Dishing with Stephanie’s Dish, i sit down with Hank Shaw to dive into his new book "Borderlands: Recipes and Stories from the Rio Grande to the Pacific." 🌵

From uncovering the true roots of chimichangas (hint: it’s more than an urban legend) to why acorns aren’t actually poisonous, and how life on the border shapes a unique food culture – this episode is full of surprising stories, practical wild food wisdom, and a peek behind Hank’s process of writing and self-publishing these gorgeous cookbooks.

Want to know how to make acorn cookies, wild game substitutions, or just what real queso should taste like? (Sorry, Velveeta fans! 🧀😉) Tune in for a journey you can eat, loads of laughter, and plenty of kitchen inspiration.
