Is culinary travel via luxury motorcoach rental on your horizon? According to Travel Age West, in a recent Virtuoso survey, 70% of advisors say they have seen an increase in culinary travel, with 20% of travelers booking trips with food and wine as the primary focus.
Whether you are a foodie or enjoy indulging in an exceptional dining experience with family and friends, consider taking a culinary tour while on vacation in a luxury motorcoach.
Why Travel in a Luxury Motorcoach Rental?
When you travel in a luxury motorcoach rental through LiTRV, you’ll travel in a plush “hotel suite on wheels” with all the comforts of home, including the convenience of an expansive kitchen, comfortable beds, multiple bathrooms, washer and dryer, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage space for your luggage.
We will help you assess which luxury motorcoach rental option is best for you, plan your itinerary, and we’ll arrange for a professional driver so you and your family and friends can relax during the journey. Once at your destination, our LiTRV driver stays nearby so you can enjoy your privacy in the motorcoach, but still have access to him or her should you need assistance.
Delight in a Culinary Adventure On Your Next Luxury Motorcoach Experience
Our LiTRV concierge specialists can help you research renowned chefs and fine dining establishments and assist with making reservations. Here are three diverse fine dining options:
Vetri Cucina, Philadelphia, PA
Spend a few days in historic Philadelphia, visiting the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, or the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Along the way, try some cuisine that Philadelphia is known for, including cheesesteak, stromboli, and hoagies. But save your appetite for an evening with award-winning Chef Marc Vetri at Vetri Cucina.
Located in a historic townhome in the heart of Philadelphia, Vetri Cucina has received numerous honors, including being a nominee and a recipient of the prestigious James Beard Foundation Awards for excellence in the food and beverage industry.
With seating for 32, the intimate dining room evokes the charms of Italy with custom crafted features including hand-blown Murano glass chandeliers, Richard Ginori porcelain and Venetian glassware.
Order from a classic tasting menu, which features a four-course menu with options to select from within each course. There will be a selection of antipasti, pasta, secondi and dessert where you will choose one option from each section of the menu. Depending on when you visit, you may also order from their seasonal forchetta menu, which features a multi-course chef selected tasting menu experience. This menu is offered alongside their classic tasting menu. With two temperature-controlled cellars housing more than 2,500 bottles, the restaurant’s wine list is carefully curated and managed by a team of certified sommeliers. The collection represents every region of Italy, as well as a sampling of the world’s classic wine regions.
After dinner, relax in your luxury motorcoach while your private driver takes you to your next destination. One option is the Stoneybrook RV Resort in Lehighton in Eastern Pennsylvania, about 90 minutes from Philadelphia. This luxury RV resort features deluxe sites with private patios, pristine landscaping, spa-style bathhouses, a heated swimming pool, fishing pond, and basketball and pickleball courts. The luxury resort is also within 30 minutes of the breathtaking Appalachian Trail and nearby lakes.
Plant, Asheville, North Carolina
For a healthy fine dining choice, consider Plant, an evolving chef-driven vegetable, fruit, and active-foods restaurant in Asheville, North Carolina. Everything is made in-house using fresh produce that’s local and organic when possible. From ideation to plating, Plant knocks their culinary creativity out of the park.
Jason Sellers, Leslie Armstrong, and Alan Berger opened Plant in the summer of 2011. Since then, the restaurant has received many accolades, including being voted Best Vegetarian Restaurant in the city, Healthiest Bite, Greenest Restaurant, and Best Service. Plant has garnered attention nationally, making lists from Zagat, Food and Wine, and PETA.
Plant is vegan, 90% organic, often local, and mostly gluten free. No animal products are used in house. The restaurant makes almost everything from scratch. They use three types of organic oil: extra virgin olive, sunflower, coconut, and toasted sesame. They do not use peanut, soy, or corn oil, and they do not use isolated protein, be it soy or otherwise.
The contemporary ambiance is equally impressive. Dinner is served from an open kitchen and bar, with 13 tables, 47 seats, kitchen-side dining, and a seasonal 20-seat dog friendly patio. In addition, Plant strives to provide cleaner air. The restaurant’s HVAC system features a Reme-Halo IAG hydro-peroxide/zinc ionizing blue light installed in line with its filter. Allergens, bacteria, viruses, and pollutants filtered from the air all meet their demise before air is recirculated in the restaurant.
Our LiTRV team can find accommodations nearby, or one option is to stay at Mountain Falls Luxury Motorcoach Resort in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina. The luxury RV resort is about an hour away from Asheville, tucked away in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Surrounded by spectacular views, the resort features a private clubhouse lodge, 8 pickleball courts, a 9-hole executive golf course, a fitness center, 2 pools and bath houses, a hot spa, a dog park, and laundry facilities.
Versailles Restaurant, Miami, Florida
Miami is known for its golden beaches, world-class cuisine, Latin vibe, and vibrant nightlife. There are many fine dining choices in this colorful, exciting city. One option for Cuban cuisine is Versailles Restaurant. Soon after it opened its doors in 1971, Versailles became the gathering place and unofficial town square for Miami’s Cuban exiles. With its uniquely French inspired aesthetic, the iconic establishment is a landmark to the community and remains the unrelenting gauge of the city’s diversifying pulse.
At the center of this is Versailles’ “La Ventanita,” the walk-up coffee window famous for its Cuban “cafecito” and reputation for its local provenance. Gastronomically, the restaurant is acclaimed for preserving the heritage of Cuban cuisine, with an extensive Cuban menu. In 1998 the restaurant expanded to include its on-site Versailles Bakery, assuring all pastries, breads and desserts are made from scratch in house and served at its freshest point.
One benefit of having a private driver is that you can enjoy a pitcher of Sangria with dinner or a few specialty drinks and not worry about who will be the designated driver. One option for accommodations is Aztec Luxury RV Resort in Fort Lauderdale, about 35 minutes from Miami. The resort is exclusively for Class A motorcoaches providing full hook ups, with rentals available nightly, weekly or seasonally. Some of the amenities include shuffleboard courts, horseshoe, a putting green, two tennis courts, a pickleball court, a volleyball court, and a pétanque court. In addition to being near Miami, the resort provides easy access to Pompano Beach and nearby casinos.
