For some private jet travelers, one of the most exciting evolutions in luxury isn’t just about where you can go, but how you can get the most out of what you do when you get there. Today we’ll focus on a growing trend among high flying foodies who have the means to elevate their culinary experiences.
For many people, a dinner reservation at one of the world’s top restaurants is a once in a lifetime event. For private jet foodies, it’s a natural part of their lifestyle. Imagine an extended weekend where you board your private jet in the morning, arrive on the French Riviera for lunch, a little sight seeing and then dinner, and continuing on to Northern Europe the next day to do the same.
Here’s what an extended weekend schedule might look like:
Stop One: The French Riviera
There are few places where cuisine and setting align as effortlessly as the Côte d’Azur. Just above the Italian border sits Mirazur, a restaurant that consistently ranks among the best in the world. Here, dining is not just about food. It’s about timing, light, and perspective… your perspective.
Arriving by private jet means you’ll land at a smaller less congested airport near your destination. Take ground transportation to enjoy lunch overlooking the Mediterranean,
The result? Lunch overlooking the Mediterranean, with ingredients sourced from the restaurant’s own gardens and an experience others may only dream about.
Stop Two: Nordic Innovation
From the Riviera, a flight northbound brings you to Copenhagen and Noma, a pioneer in modern Nordic cuisine. Because you are flying private, you have a direct flight without connections, delays or fatigue.
At Noma, the experience is immersive, delivering hyper-seasonal menus that change weekly with ingredients foraged, fermented and reimagined as your dining experience unfolds over several hours.
And still, there’s time for more.
Stop Three: Italy’s Culinary Heartland
For those who really want to push the boundaries of their experience, a quick hop to Northern Italy offers another layer to an already amazing weekend. In Modena, Osteria Francescana delivers a completely different expression of culinary mastery, rooted in tradition, memory, and storytelling.
Arriving via private jet will give you time and access to enrich the experience by pairing dining with visits to boutique producers like balsamic vinegar estates, Parmigiano-Reggiano dairies, and Lambrusco vineyards
Now that’s a weekend!
Here’s what a well-planned jet-to-table weekend schedule might look like:
Day 1:
Depart New York → Arrive Nice → Lunch at Mirazur → Evening at leisure along the coast. Possibly dinner at another favourite spot.
Day 2:
Morning departure → Copenhagen → Dinner at Noma
Day 3:
Flight to Northern Italy → Lunch at Osteria Francescana → Return home
Each leg is an exceptional lifestyle moment. Each experience is distinct. And yet, it all fits within a single extended weekend.
Private aviation is an enabler of experiences that simply wouldn’t exist otherwise.
Jet-to-table travel captures private jet lifestyle perfectly. Experiencing more with little fatigue and maximum pleasure.
Bon Appetit!
