Maison V: Travel Advisors
Travel with provenance.
Places known from the inside.Journeys shaped around you.
Your travel inspiration.Our expertise.A journey designed for you.
Maison V designs thoughtful journeys through Japan, France and select destinations for those who want to experience a place beyond the expected.
We are experts in our signature destinations; speaking the language and having lived and travelled extensively in them. We bring together deep personal knowledge, destination expertise and specially cultivated travel relationships to plan the details that make a difference: from where you stay and how you move around to the food, wine, sake, art, craftsmanship and people that bring a place to life.
We are independent in our recommendations, flexible in how we work and attentive to the way you want to travel.
Japan · France · Select Destinations
Select destinations include places we know, have lived in and love: Italy, Portugal, the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
How we work
Three ways to experience places, people and provenance

Guided Journeys: trips organised around a theme or location and led by the Maison V founders.
-
Hotels with Benefits: hotel bookings with benefits and provenance-inspired accommodation, when that’s all you need to complete your plans.
Where your passions meet our expertise
Your passions are our passions. We design trips with a focus on:
-
Wine travel: visiting wine estates, champagne houses and tasting rooms set to the backdrop of stunning landscapes with stays and dining that express the provenance of the place.
-
Sake experiences: touring breweries, sake towns and tasting rooms combined with hot springs and exquisite ryokan stays bringing together Japan's cultural heritage and world renowned hospitality (called omotenashi).
-
Design and craftsmanship: exploring the best and most iconic local design and crafts from art to pottery to glassware to furniture to tea and beyond.
-
Skiing: ski experiences across the French alps bringing you the best on the slopes and the après with relaxing stays.
