There are countless destinations you can visit in this world which means you may not have a chance to visit the same place twice. It’s a good idea to make the most of any trip, especially if it takes you 10+ hours of travel to get there. We try to fit in as many key places in our itineraries for the regions we are exploring, but we just can’t include all of them given our set timeframe.
“We all have our food memories, some good and some bad. The taste, smell, and texture of food can be extraordinarily evocative, bringing back memories not just of eating food itself but also of place and setting. Food is an effective trigger of deeper memories of feelings and emotions, internal states of the mind and body.”
– The Harvard University Press on John S. Allen’s The Omnivorous Mind.
The Taste Vacations 2018 tour schedule is here! We are very excited to again be offering a variety of food, wine, and beer vacations here in the U.S. and abroad. We’ve kept in our favorite experiences, improved a few others, and even added a brand new trip – the North Carolina: Asheville Craft Food & Drink Tour.
Check out the 2018 full schedule:
Meet Yannick de Cocqueau, our resident Taste Vacations beer expert with quite impressive credentials. He was born and raised in Ghent, Belgium and he is not only a skilled homebrewer but he is a freelance brewer for Bourgogne de Flanders. To top things off, he also has acted as a beer judge for several beer competitions throughout Belgium. This guy knows his beer.
Traveling halfway across the globe takes a bit of effort and time – so you might as well make the most of it! Though we try to include as many key places on our itineraries for the regions we are exploring, you can’t always fit everything into the allotted timeframe. If you’re heading out on our Tuscany Food & Wine Tour, it is certainly worth extending your vacation in Italy.
