3 Reasons to Travel with
Modern Adventure & Elliot Bell

Straight from the Source

If your instincts tend toward the kitchen as much as the cellar, New Zealand offers its own kind of clarity. This is a place where food begins close to the source, like green-lipped mussels pulled from coastal waters, lamb raised on open pasture, and stone fruit that tastes of the long southern light that ripened it. Traveling here with a chef from Napa brings a familiar sensibility into new terrain.

Elliot's Heritage

Chef Elliot Bell is the New Zealand born chef and owner of Charlie’s in Napa Valley and a proud St. Helena firefighter. Calling on his decade in the kitchen at Yountville's storied French Laundry, he pairs precision with creativity to build playful dishes using produce from his wine-country neighbors and friends.

Adventure Down Under

There’s a reason why Lord of the Rings was filmed here: New Zealand is one of the most breathtaking and scenic locations on the planet. Whether you decide to unwind on the beach, marvel at the Waitomo Glowworm caves or hike through rugged mountain trails there’s no end to the natural majesty.
