| Culinary Tourism is a new niche travel in cultural travel. We all travel, we all eat and when we travel. This is a new way of discovering the local culture, heritage and most of all regional foods and wines. Discovering not only some of the more historic and elegant Hotels, Inns and resorts of the world we also get the privilege of discovering the Chefs, Restaurants, Eateries, Customs, Local Secrets, Cooking Experiences and of course the best foods in any city we visit. Shopping at Markets or spending quality time with a Chef and his or her staff, learning what drives their passions for food and the culinary arts. Experiencing foods, wines and culinary arts in a different light, where we are focusing on the foods of the regions we visit and what makes each the foods from a specific area famous or sought after. It isn't only consumption, but understanding, learning and interactive classes, demo's and other unique opportunities to experience foods, wines and culinary arts. Culinary Tourism lends itself well to group travel, like minded individuals or a group looking to do peer events, or just having an alternative to a basic cruise or tour. We design groups within an operators vessel, such as a cruise or a rail journey, adding our itinerary into the per-arranged itinerary of the cruise ship or tour operator. We do a few of our own journeys with small groups of 4 to 16 passengers to all regions of the Pacific Northwest, including the cosmopolitan cities of British Columbia, with a like minded culinary guide in Canada. You will find this a great opportunity to tour in a different sphere or angle; allowing us the privilege of meeting the local people, experiencing local culture - not just organized tours of a city or a bus ride to a monument, although many of our tours include such options, you are actually seeing the area as a local "in the know". How many times have you checked into a hotel in a strange city and asked the concierge for a restaurant recommendation only to be refereed to a national chain, or a tour operator who offers a wonderful dinner at the host hotel, only to find out it is a preset buffet, although good - not a true culinary experience of the region! Show your "Activism" our company seeks out those who use "Sustainable and Renewable Resources" - "Activism with taste, style and great food, supporting our farmers, ranchers and local providers" |
| I developed this theme for the Pacific Northwest for many reasons, but mostly to satisfy my desires to discover all there is to discover about a city. Every city has a space needle, water tour, monument, famous house, special city tour or even a unique type of street. Have you heard the saying "Been there, done that", okay it isn't quite that easy to explain, but it opens ones eyes to the other side of tourism. There are other reasons, we have the most diverse and most beautiful region in North America, from Portland to Vancouver, B.C. the cities and islands in between are all ready to be explored in more depth. Visit our region with a new look on your journey, experience some of the worlds best Chefs, Restaurants, Markets, Coffee Shops, Bakeries, Confectioners and Bistros! Wine makers and world class wines, along with world class cuisine. This type of tourisms is perfect for everyone, it really gives you and new prospective and appreciation to the cultural side of the region in relation to foods and wines. We know you will enjoy this different way of touring our region, it not only entertains, it entices your senses! |
| A informative tour, educational and culturally enlightening! Fun too! Surprises at each venue, the Chefs we visit will be some of the regions best and they always go over the top.
