Private & Custom Travel
PREFERRED PARTNERS
Bespoke journeys, crafted around you
Amble Private Travel is for travellers who want more than a beautiful hotel and a few restaurant reservations. We create custom journeys where gastronomy, wine, and genuine human connection sit at the centre.
Whether it’s long lunches among the vines in Catalonia, truffle-rich days in Umbria, mezcal and markets in Oaxaca, or visiting a world-renowned sake maker in Japan, every Amble itinerary is designed to feel intimate, personal, and full of flavour.
What Is Custom Travel with Amble?
Love the spirit of our hosted tours but want dates, pace, or locations tailored to you (or your clients)? That’s where our private travel comes in.
We design one-of-a-kind itineraries that might include:
Private tastings with our local legends — winemakers, chefs, mezcaleros, sommeliers, and artisans who open their cellars, kitchens, and workshops just for you
Intimate culinary experiences — chef’s-table dinners, family kitchens, countryside estates, and winery restaurants where you’re hosted, not just served
Hands-on food & wine moments — pasta-making in a farmhouse kitchen, truffle hunts at dawn, market-to-table cooking classes, chocolate or cheese workshops
Character-filled stays — boutique hotels, winery estates, villas, and ryokans that reflect the soul of the region
Every journey is built from scratch around your tastes, timing, budget, and the people you’re travelling with. For travel advisors, this means a fully bespoke experience you can confidently present to your clients.
Why Travel Privately with Amble?
Amble is built on relationships. Over time, we’ve cultivated a network of local legends who welcome our guests behind the scenes, into spaces and stories not typically open to visitors.
With Amble Private Travel, you can expect:
True insider access rather than staged “experiences”
Small circles and private hosting, so conversations flow as easily as the wine
Slow, thoughtful pacing that leaves room to savour what you’re experiencing
Meaningful connection, to the local tastemakers, the place, and the people you’re with
It’s luxury, but the kind where what’s on the plate and who’s across the table matter more than how shiny the lobby is.
How We Work?
At Amble, journeys aren’t pulled from a shelf, they’re shaped, slowly and thoughtfully, around the people taking them. Whether you’re planning a milestone celebration, a friends’ escape, a family gathering, or curating something special for a client, here’s how your journey comes to life.
Step 1: Discover
It always starts with a conversation. We take time to understand where you’re dreaming of going, when you’d like to travel, who’s joining you, and the experiences that matter most — from food and wine to culture, pace, and connection.
For travel advisors, this can be a joint call with your client or a behind-the-scenes conversation, whatever best supports your process.
Step 2: Design
From there, we create a considered first outline of your journey, a first taste of what’s possible. This might include suggested experiences, sample days, and the kind of intimate, insider moments Amble is known for, all aligned with your style, interests, and budget.
Step 3: Refine and Confirm
Once we’re aligned, we collect a $500 planning fee (which is applied to the final trip cost) and begin refining the details. This is where the journey truly becomes yours: adjusting the rhythm, layering in meaningful moments, swapping experiences, and fine-tuning until everything feels just right.
When the itinerary is confirmed, a 50% deposit secures arrangements with our trusted local partners and hosts.
Step 4: Travel
Final payment is due 120 days before departure. From there, we take care of everything. You’ll receive a beautifully organised itinerary and clear, on-the-ground information so you can travel with confidence. During the trip, our team and local partners remain on hand for support, adjustments, and peace of mind, so the experience feels effortless, immersive and completely stress-free.
