Promoting People, Places & Culture 

For a more sustainable future.

Terroir Hospitality is transforming global food systems through gastrodiplomacy - giving chefs, producers, restaurateurs and industry leaders a valued platform through which to connect, learn and interact within their own industries & communities, as well as others all across the world.

Gastrodiplomacy is rooted in the belief that food is one of the most unique ways to communicate a region’s culture. Food has always played a significant role in shaping the world, creating the trade routes, economic & political power plays, and commerce opportunities that formed the basis of many modern-day nations. Weaved throughout all these interactions is the fabric of the resulting society as well as their collective tastes, palates and food culture.

By interrogating national traits and cultures through unique, immersive learning programs, Terroir creates international delegations of culinary advocates who communicate their experiences and deeply tangible newfound connection to audiences all across the globe.

PRODUCERS

Producers and farmers are the reason why we get out of bed every morning. We firmly believe that the people who plant, grow, make and create our foodstuffs are the ones who make everything else in the industry possible. Supporting a local farming ecosystem means promoting good food practices for many generations to come. And it all starts with strong local advocates who connect, share resources, enable financial stability and promote the local economy.

Here’s a collection of the international farms, farmers and producers we’ve been lucky enough to work with over the years and are proud to stand alongside.
