As a group travel advisor for Cultivating Connections Travel Planners, I am an independent affiliate of Gifted Travel Network -- a Virtuoso member. To indulge further into the pleasures of culinary travel, I’d like to provide you with some insight into the fascination of gastronomy. So I figured I’d share some of the absolute most divine culinary travel offers from around the globe.

Get a Taste of Fenway Park’s Rooftop

Growers from all over Boston have joined forces to create a 5,000 square foot garden atop Fenway Park. Red Sox fans have since been indulging in fresh produce harvested straight from the roof. Fenway Farms produces over 5,000 lbs of fruits, vegetables, and other organic products every year.

Discover Puglia

Aside from experiencing late nights at festivals with the locals, sign up for a food tour of Matera, Lecce, and Alberobello, or perhaps even visit an olive oil farm.

Eat and Drink like Shakespeare

Visit Britain, the birthplace of Shakespeare to partake in culinary delights such as scones and a wide variety of teas. While you’re at it visit the Isle of Wight to dine and stroll through the gardens like Queen Victoria.

Spend a Morning at Case Vecchie

Spend the morning at Case Vecchie, the Tasca family’s cooking school where Fabrizia Lanza, daughter of the renowned founder and cookbook author Anna Tasca Lanza, will teach you how to prepare several traditional Sicilian dishes that are made with the pristine ingredients of the Regaleali estate.

Stay in the Jungle and Partake in Cooking Classes

Enjoy the jungle scenery of Ubud, Capella while getting hands-on in a cooking class. Learn to make rice paddies and other delicious foods after relaxing in the infinity pools and indulging in the minibar or the espresso maker in your room.

Please Your Taste buds by Visiting India

Once you have visited local bazaars with saree weavers, goldsmiths, and pottery makers, you will certainly have worked up an appetite. India is full of flavor, rich spices, and savory dishes. Purchase food from a farmer’s market or sit down to dine at one of the remarkable restaurants serving authentic Indian cuisine.
