The Mediterranean
Traversing 'The Med': A Mediterranean Feast
Welcome to Aurora Expeditions’ A Mediterranean Feast Sailing in the wake of historical trade routes, we cross a sea brimming with traditional fare. In eras where olive oil was liquid gold and wine favoured over water, the goods traded on these shores established rituals and lifestyles. From the coastal kitchens of Italy, France and Spain we sail the seas to the island treasure troves of Sardinia, Corsica and Mallorca where we journey to century-old farmhouses, traditional fishing villages, world-class wineries and woodfired kitchens as we immerse ourselves in the culture, traditions and cuisines of the communities who ensure their homeland remains a treasure waiting to be tasted.
