The island’s tourism strategy focuses on promoting sustainable practices that prevent over-tourism, ensuring that your visit contributes positively to maintaining the island’s economic and social health.
Food and drink: Emphasising Jersey’s farm-to-table practice, the culinary experiences on this tour feature locally sourced and seasonal ingredients.

Restaurants selected for this tour, like those in the fishing village of Rozel or the country-style eateries in Grouville, highlight traditional Jersey recipes alongside modern dishes that showcase the island’s gastronomic heritage.
