Exsus has created a tantalising journey for the taste buds with a hand-picked gourmet tour through New York State, USA, showcasing the food and wine highlights of one of the most popular luxury holiday destinations in the world.

From the lauded eateries of New York City to the Hudson Valley wine trails, the vineyards of Finger Lakes to the bustling farmers' markets of the Adirondack Mountains, the North America team at Exsus has dreamt up the perfect epicurean odyssey for food lovers.

The 10-night luxury trip begins in the Hudson Valley, a popular getaway spot for New Yorkers, with scenic mountain wine trails and world-class dining and accommodation. The next stop on the gourmet tour is the Finger Lakes, a region defined by wine making almost as much as by the elegant bodies of water which lend it its name. Each year, a growing number of visitors flock to the region to sample the award-winning local produce, which includes ice wines made from grapes harvested in the winter, making the best of New York's harsh cold season.

Leaving the Finger Lakes behind, next up is the wild country of the Adirondack Mountains. From browsing farmers' markets to sampling inventive vegetarian fare and fine-dining in style, this vast, rugged and beautiful terrain is home to an array of gastro delights.

The journey concludes in the Big Apple itself, regularly voted one of the world's top cities for dining out, where the experts at Exsus can recommend the best spots for tasting regionally produced craft beers, tucking into mouth-watering grills and savouring delights created by award-winning chefs.

The 10 night Gourmet Holiday in New York State costs from £1,875 per person including flights, transfers and accommodation on a bed and breakfast basis. Extend the trip to include a visit to The Hamptons to watch the sun go down on their famous beaches whilst sipping boutique wines.
