Food Tours in the USA

In order to discover and enjoy the food served in the United States, you need to think regionally. For instance, for travelers visiting northern California, the wines of Napa Valley and the local meats and produce represent much of what is on the tables of restaurants in the Bay Area. And if you're visiting New York, the ethnic variations of food from Greek to Thai to Russian are representative of the regional cuisine found in the five boroughs. If you're in the South, New Orleans' cuisine tastes completely different than other regional cuisines.

Culinary Getaway in Napa

With wineries dotting Napa and Sonoma counties, taking a culinary tour is a thrilling experience. One such tour is Culinary Getaways with Sherry Page, featuring two-night accommodation in a Napa Valley inn along with a winery tour and cooking class.

New Orleans Culinary Adventure

Another region for tasty regional food is New Orleans and its signature Creole and Cajun dishes. Creole cuisine has European roots with a mix of rich French, German and Spanish flavors. Cajun is derived from Canadian immigrants who inhabited a swampy area of Louisiana and added crawfish, shrimp and crab to their dishes. The Culinary Adventure tour is a three-night food treat where visitors will dine on authentic New Orleans cuisine and also take a cooking class.
