The Gastronomad Reset is designed and hosted by Mike and Amira Elgan, whose Gastronomad Experiences have been called masterclasses in how to live. Your team will be welcomed into the homes, farms, cellars, and kitchens of the world's most extraordinary food and wine producers — people Amira and Mike have spent nearly two decades cultivating relationships with. You'll cook with real chefs, taste with real winemakers, and eat at tables most people never get anywhere near.

Every Gastronomad Reset is custom-designed for your team's size, industry, and strategic priorities. A typical experience includes:

Working sessions tailored to your industry's specific landscape.

Expert wine tastings with world-class winemakers in destination vineyards.

Hands-on cooking classes with acclaimed local chefs using the region's finest ingredients.

Epic communal meals that create the kind of table-sharing, unhurried conversation where genuine strategic thinking actually happens.

Cultural excursions — ancient cities, hilltop villages, hidden spots known only to locals.

• Italy — Tuscany · Sicily · Venice & the Prosecco Hills

• France — Provence

• Spain — Barcelona & Cava Wine Country

• Morocco

• Mexico — Oaxaca · Mexico City

• UK — The Cotswolds

• El Salvador · Chile

Each destination offers a completely distinct culinary culture, wine identity, and atmospheric character. We'll help you choose the right one for your team's needs, or design a multi-destination experience if your ambitions are larger.

Great thinking happens in great places. The research on this is unambiguous: cognitive flexibility, creative problem-solving, and memory consolidation are all enhanced by novel, aesthetically rich environments. When you combine that with a curated sequence of shared experiences — sitting down to a long Sicilian dinner together after a morning of hard strategic thinking — you create the conditions for the kind of alignment and momentum that no ordinary offsite has ever produced.

Mike and Amira Elgan have been gastronomads since 2006. They have spent that time building deep, genuine relationships with the most extraordinary food and wine producers on earth. Mike is an author and technology journalist focusing on AI and other advanced technologies. He has developed one of the sharpest independent perspectives on AI available anywhere, especially on the question of benefiting from technology while maintaining connections with people, nature and culture. The Gastronomad Reset is what happens when those two things come together.
