Culinary tours, food and wine events, and foodie
competitions give travelers a chance to visit a new destination and sample
local or regional cuisine. Whether the trip involves an opportunity to learn
new cooking techniques or attend food and wine tastings, a culinary adventure
can be a welcome change from the standard travel itinerary.
As an emerging travel trend, culinary tourism became
prominent in 2001 when Erik Wolf, President of the International Culinary
Tourism Association (ICTA), presented a white paper about culinary tourism to
his organization. The paper evolved into a book that documented the growing
interest in food and wine tourism and how requests for culinary tours could
drive local businesses and restaurateurs to meet the growing demand.
Culinary tours and travel packages can include a wide
range of activities related to cooking, food sampling, food trends, wine making
and baking. In addition to restaurant weeks in different cities, dining events
and cooking competitions, culinary tourism encompasses culinary experiences,
such as winery and brewery tours, tours of restaurants and food manufacturing
plants, conferences and events with culinary professionals and cookbook
authors, and ethnic food tastings.
Travelers
interested in eating, sampling wine and beer, cooking, baking and learning
about the history of certain foods can choose from a variety of culinary
tourism packages at renowned destinations and sites around the globe.
