Celebrating 10 years of Set Jetting, Black Tomato Launches Yellowstone and Ripley Inspired Itineraries

 - Black Tomato Unveils New Itineraries Following Record Demand for Narrative-Based Trips -

Black Tomato is thrilled to unveil new immersive Set Jetting itineraries, inspired by two of TV's most dynamic series – 'Yellowstone' and 'Ripley'.  Demand for cinematic-influenced travel experiences has exponentially increased in the decade since Black Tomato pioneered Set Jetting in 2014. Today, active and aspirational travellers alike are drawn to Set Jetting - the desire to travel to destinations and immerse oneself in experiences that encompass the backdrops and plotlines for iconic television dramas and films. Black Tomato continues to evolve its expansive portfolio with new tailormade experiences designed to bring travellers closer to a more immersive side of these pop-cultural locales. While 'Yellowstone' and 'Ripley,' represent vastly different topographies and narrative arcs, both shows capture an extraordinary sense of place and these itineraries are brimming with inspiring experiences closely tied to each series.

Black Tomato has developed these itineraries through extensive research on the ground, ensuring authenticity, while delivering special access and thoughtfully designed, expert-led experiences, which is tip to toe dramatic escapism at its best. Those looking for a unique Italian summer getaway will revel in an exclusive evening tour of Rome tracing Tom Ripley's getaway in the same vintage iconic Fiat 500, the very same model featured in the show, through the ancient Roman Appian Way. Meanwhile, others will find solace sleeping under the stars in an exclusive, bespoke glamping base in a remote corner just outside of Yellowstone National Park's Paradise Valley that inspired the series.

“It's a delight to bring two extraordinary series I love, 'Yellowstone' and 'Ripley,' to life in travel, and humbling to see how the trend of Set Jetting has evolved since we launched our first series in 2014 with the likes of 'Breaking Bad', 'Twin Peaks' and countless others. For me, Set Jetting's continued popularity speaks to an increased desire to connect purposefully with film, literature, and theatre, which in turn uncovers a fascinating relationship between places, landscapes and fiction. It is our belief that these new forays into Yellowstone and Ripley will deliver magic, inspiration and intrigue.”

Itinerary experiences include:

•  Sunset Cattle Drive: Travellers will set off in the early evening to learn the history behind cattle driving and try their hand at essential rodeo skills and get a feel for how challenging cattle ranching can be (followed by a cold one watching the cold Montana sky). This experience is inspired by the show's character Travis Wheatley, a horse trainer and rodeo competitor for the fictional Bosque Ranch on Yellowstone.
