    Mighty Madeira:
    The World in One Island

    April 13-20, 2025

    Madeira is a place so green that one of the first Portuguese sailors to see it exclaimed that it was just “one large garden.” And a garden it has remained, through nearly six centuries of human habitation, through slavery and sugarcane, through extinctions and evolution and the current cultural rebirth. Your hosts on this one-of-a-kind journey at the best time to visit will be the Portuguese culinary icon André Magalhães and renowned PokPok chef and frequent League host Andy Ricker.

  • Luanda — Lubango — Namibe

    Eternal Angola

    June 19-26, 2025

    From the vibrant capital of Luanda, one of the oldest cities in sub-Saharan Africa, to verdant, volcanic Lubango and onto the desert beaches of Namibe, this is a weeklong journey through a country in the midst of an epic rebirth. Guided by Chef Helt Araújo, one of Angola’s great culinary minds and a leader of its current reinvention, we will dine in open-air markets and elegant urban restaurants, taste Angolan wines at a private chef’s dinner on the beach, and join an indigenous tribe for a whole-goat roast, traversing this righteous land to meet the people rewriting its destiny.
