San Miguel Market,
Madrid, Spain
If you love to travel, then you probably love to eat.
Many of the best travel memories begin with a meal, whether it’s finding felafel on the street in Israel, hidden alley restaurants in London or a five-star restaurant with a master chef in Paris. Of course, you can follow a guidebook and you will probably find good eats. But what about those hidden gems only the locals know about? Or maybe you’re a lover of television shows with favorites like Anthony Bourdain or Stanley Tucci, and you want your own culinary travel adventure.
There are plenty of upscale food adventures led by chefs, cookbook authors and writers. If this is your idea of a vacation, eating as you travel and maybe even doing some of the cooking, get on board.
TUSCAN WOMEN COOK TUSCANY, ITALY This culinary vacation is located in the heart of Tuscany and is back at their pre-pandemic full schedule of classes and excursions in the delightful village of Montefollonico. The tour has been operating since 2000 and has forged warm relationships with residents and businesses.
During each day, a group of 16 participants learn to cook authentic Italian recipes handed down from generations taught by local women. One of these is a Michelin-starred restaurant owner who came out of retirement to join the tour.
While staying in town, guests enjoy beautiful views, explore the Tuscan countryside, enjoy wine tastings and do a bit of shopping. Each day is ended with a memorable gourmet dinner in the region’s top restaurants.
