Feast your way through South Korea with a renowned Korean-Australian chef

If you haven’t yet experienced the deliciousness of South Korean cuisine, you’re seriously missing out. And while Australia offers an impressive range of Korean cuisine, nothing quite compares to experiencing it at the source, guided by a chef who knows it inside out. 

Running from Friday, October 9 to Sunday, October 18, 2026, the Chung Lee Culinary Tour sees award-winning Korean-born chef Chung Jae Lee return to his homeland to guide travellers through his favourite regions. Think green tea fields in Boseong to bustling seafood markets in Busan and misty mountain sanctuaries, plus a well-earned relaxation sesh in a traditional Korean jjimjilbang spa.

In Sokcho and Gwangju, hands-on cooking classes with Chef Chung unpack the foundations of Korean cuisine, from fermentation to tea ceremonies, leaving you with serious skills (and bragging rights for your next dinner party).

But it’s not all about the food. The itinerary also takes you to Seoul’s grand palaces, the DMZ, Seoraksan National Park and Busan’s vibrant coastal culture, alongside walks through UNESCO-listed royal grounds.

More than a tour, Chef Chung’s warmth and humour make it feel more like you’re travelling with a group of mates. The luxury accommodation throughout simply sweetens the deal.

Tickets start from $9,865. For more information and bookings, visit the Gullivers website.
