Our Mission

Our Mission

Fortified Travel Network is a group of expat-owned travel companies who are focused on food and wine, and the culture, history, and traditions surrounding it. Located around the world, we are dedicated to offering high quality travel experiences. We share knowledge and contacts with each other which allows us to provide better experiences to travelers, and to create a community of like-minded companies around the world.

As expat owned companies, we offer experiences with both local native guides along with top experts in their areas of expertise. Our outsider status helps to give us deep insight into our local communities, allowing us to provide more meaningful context for travelers. We support the local communities where we are based, and we are passionate champions for their traditions, local foods, and unique wines. All of our members are respected parts of these communities, seen as accomplished experts in their fields. And all of our companies are dedicated to working with locals first, whose personal stories enrich everything we offer.

Travel with Fortified Network, in the company of locals, for the highest quality food and wine tours around the globe.
