Food & Wine Holidays
A Passion For Authentic Andalusian Slow Food Culture
Travel with me to the places I know and love — where food, wine and culture are deeply connected, and everything is experienced properly.
This is not mass travel. It’s thoughtful, immersive, and quietly luxurious.
I’m Annie B, and I design and host small group culinary journeys across Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Sicily & Scotland. As well as focusing on my core Culinary Classics cooking holidays in beautiful Vejer.
Each trip is built around the things that matter most — exceptional food, characterful wines, lovely places to stay and access to people and places you might not find on your own.
From the sherry bodegas of Jerez to the rolling vineyards of Alentejo, these are experiences shaped by years of relationships, curiosity, and a deep love of the regions I work in.

Here’s what they say
We had the great privilege of spending four days with Annie, it was truly excellent. We had a deep immersion into Andalusian food, we shopped the tuna fish markets of Barbate, we cooked many local and Moroccan dishes, we tested copious amounts of delicious sherry and vino, we laughed a lot. Above all we became better cooks under Annie’s expert guidance. Annie’s courses are all about generosity, the extraordinary meals at the end of a days cooking, the tips and techniques and the free flowing ideas. She opened her kitchen to us and we loved every minute.
The Almadraba was an outstanding experience! Annie's connections to the community got us super close to the ships practicing this ancient tuna harvesting technique -- updated to be more humane and provide much better quality. We learned a lot from her and ship captain Ignacio. After, we feasted multiple times at fine restaurants -- on the prized tuna rojo -- drank lots of Jerez/Sherry, and took part in the Ruta del Atún in Zahara. We shopped at the Barbate market then cooked in her kitchen, and were treated to a pleasant flamenco on her roof terrace. Annie's understanding of the culture is deep and her organizational skills are top-notch, frequently having to adjust in-flight due to the tides, restaurant availability, etc. A great experience, it exceeded my expectations. I'd be happy to join her on a subsequent tour.
Annie b's spanish kitchen (with a wee dram of scottish thrown in) is the perfect place to get to know the food and wine of andalusía and make the acquaintance of a passionate educator and ambassador for the south of spain. spend a few days with her, cooking and feasting on the local tuna and you'll never wield a tin opener again.
