Jonathan is the “Gourmet” of the Gourmet Cycling Travel team. Jon brings a unique side to this active travel company with his rich experience as a gourmet chef and wine connoisseur.
“Even though a non-rider, I had an amazing time on the TdF tour! There were fun activities every day, from market tours to cooking class to hikes, I really enjoyed it all. Additionally, each meal was planned and chosen with care – it was truly indulgent. A big thanks to Jon, Simon and the full team for providing such a wonderful trip and memories for my husband and me!” Joyce Lee, California, USA
We first chose Gourmet Cycling to celebrate a significant Birthday at the “Tour de France … 3 trips later and 4th planned we love your ability to cater for both the cyclist and non cyclist. Probably the most important things that keeps us returning is the blend of people – the energy and fun of Gary, the food and wine knowledge of Jon and the riding expertise from Simon together with support from Jean Michel. A first rate team!” Paul & Jenny Drury, Sydney, Australia
“Cyclists of any level will appreciate Simon’s knowledge of the classic climbs in France. Who better to lead you up Mont. Ventoux than a former pro racer? For the non-cyclist who wants to experience the culture, wine and cuisine of France, Jon is your man, as he will whip you up a gourmet meal while you sit poolside sipping your wine. “
