7th to 13th of September 2026
Our culinary journey begins in Ålesund, also known as the Art Nouveau city. From there, we will travel along a little part of Norway’s long coastline to handpicked destinations and local businesses that represent tradition and innovation in the Norwegian food culture. We will visit the island of Ona, where Nevada’s husband has family roots. We will learn about life on a small fishing island and the challenges and hardships of living along the coast and having the sea as your food source -magical, vast, unpredictable, and yet giving.
On the island of Gossen, we will meet two local businesses that utilize the gifts of the sea and have elevated past traditions to suit modern living. In Kristiansund, we will learn more about the history of klippfisk ‘dried cod’ that became a celebrated cuisine in Spain and Portugal, better known as the famous ‘bacalao’.
Arriving in Trondheim, we will taste how a Michelin-starred restaurant elevates local ingredients and uses them in its tasting menu. With this, we conclude our journey on a high by exploring the best of Trondheim’s attractions and food scene.
