YALLA yacht interior

The stunning interior of the YALLA yacht was designed by Droulers Architecture in collaboration with CRN’s in-house Interiors and Design Office.

There is an abundance of options for sunbathing on the YALLA. The garage has a limousine tender and many water toys that offer fun and action while aboard the yacht.

The interior of the YALLA yacht was a finalist for The ShowBoats Design Awards 2015 for Interior Design in a Motor Yacht over 500GT.

The exterior of the YALLA yacht was a finalist for the Naval Architecture Award on a Displacement Motor Yacht and the Exterior Design & Styling Award on a Motor Yacht over 500GT at The ShowBoats Design Awards 2015.

With its four spacious decks and sleek and sporty lines, the YALLA is an eye-catching yacht on the water. She was delivered in 2014 with a steel hull and an aluminum superstructure.

The design was penned by Omega Architects and built at the CRN shipyard in Ancona, Italy. CRN is a builder of luxury superyachts, and YALLA was a custom build for the shipyard.

Off the Hook Yachts Acquires 300-Slip Marina in Georgetown Maryland  

The Acquisition 

Off the Hook Yachts is proud to announce the acquisition of Georgetown Yacht Basin (GYB) now rebranding under Georgetown Yacht Haven – a 300-boat slip full-service marina located on the Sassafras River in Georgetown, MD.  Off the Hook plans to restore the yacht basin to its former glory and reconnect with the local community in order to establish it as a household name in the area. 

As our founder is originally from Maryland, this will complement our current presence in the area, along with our MD sales team, which currently operates out of Bay Bridge Marina. The acquisition of the marina will allow us to expand on sales, service, and custom-built Nor-Tech Performance Boat sales in the region. Georgetown Yacht Haven has 300 slips, two paint sheds that can hold up to a 110-foot yacht, a 110-ton travel lift, a fuel dock, a swimming pool, bathhouses, and a complete ship store, along with many other amenities. GYH controls the largest travel lift in Northern Chesapeake Bay.

About Off the Hook Yacht Sales

Off The Hook Yacht Sales NC, LLC, based in Wilmington, North Carolina, was founded in 2012 by Jason Ruegg and has now become the largest marine wholesaler in North America. The company provides wholesale purchasing services for brokerages, new boat dealers, and private individuals, and has become a household name at the largest brokerages and dealerships in the Country.

Additionally, OTH is proud to represent Nor-Tech Hi-Performance Boats from Georgia to Maine and Yellowfin Boats from Miami to the Florida Keys.  

About Georgetown Yacht Haven

73m superyacht Yalla launched by CRN

Italian yacht builder CRN has launched its 73m superyacht Yalla .

CRN welcomed more than 1,000 guests to the launching ceremony of CRN 132 Yalla , held late this morning at its shipyard in Ancona, Italy. The launch ceremony included speeches from Alberto Galassi, new CEO of the Ferretti Group , Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of CRN, Xinyu Xu, Vice-chairman of Weichai Group, and the Mayor of Ancona Valeria Mancinelli.

Part of the Ferretti Group,  CRN  specialises in custom yachts up to 90 metres in steel and aluminium. Yalla is the first yacht built by CRN on its new 12.5m beam platform. More than 430,000 hours from CRN and its subcontractors were spent on Yalla 's build, with contributions from 150 employees.

Exterior styling comes from Omega Architects in The Netherlands, in close collaboration with the CRN Engineering Department. The five-deck motor yacht features sleek, sporty lines and a streamlined profile. Superyacht Yalla 's interiors are by Droulers Architecture, working with CRN's Interiors and Design Office. She hosts up to 12 guests in its six cabins, including an owner's suite and VIP cabins, along with 22 crew members.

'Following the launch of CRN 133 61m superyacht a few months ago, we are proud to celebrate the launch of the new Yalla of 73m, which represents a challenge and an objective for the whole CRN shipyard,' says Lamberto Tacoli, Chairman and CEO of CRN. ' Yalla will mark another important result for the development of CRN in the world. A sincere thanks for the trust of the owner and for the work of all employees and subcontractors who have worked on the project, to the architects Franck Laupman of Omega Architects and to Droulers Architecture. I also thank our shareholder Weichai Group and the new CEO of the Group Alberto Galassi for their participation in this important event for CRN and for the whole Ferretti Group.'

The Ferretti Group currently has five superyachts underway at the Ancona shipyard, including the 74m CRN 131, 55m CRN 134, a Ferretti Custom Line CL 124, the 61m CRN 133 and the Riva 122 Mythos , which are at the delivery stage.

Strange Glow Over Moscow Skies Triggers Panic as Explosions Reported

B right flashes lit up the night sky in southern Moscow in the early hours of Thursday morning, new footage appears to show, following reports of an explosion at an electrical substation on the outskirts of the city.

Video snippets circulating on Russian-language Telegram channels show a series of flashes on the horizon of a cloudy night sky, momentarily turning the sky a number of different colors. In a clip shared by Russian outlet MSK1.ru, smoke can be seen rising from a building during the flashes lighting up the scene.

Newsweek was unable to independently verify the details of the video clips, including when and where it was filmed. The Russian Ministry of Emergency situations has been contacted via email.

Several Russian Telegram accounts said early on Thursday that residents of southern Moscow reported an explosion and a fire breaking out at an electrical substation in the Leninsky district, southeast of central Moscow.

Local authorities in the Leninsky district told Russian outlet RBC that the explosion had happened in the village of Molokovo. "All vital facilities are operating as normal," Leninsky district officials told the outlet.

The incident at the substation in Molokovo took place just before 2 a.m. local time, MSK1.ru reported.

Messages published by the ASTRA Telegram account, run by independent Russian journalists, appear to show residents close to the substation panicking as they question the bright flashes in the sky. One local resident describes seeing the bright light before losing access to electricity, with another calling the incident a "nightmare."

More than 10 villages and towns in the southeast of Moscow lost access to electricity, the ASTRA Telegram account also reported. The town of Lytkarino to the southeast of Moscow, lost electricity, wrote the eastern European-based independent outlet, Meduza.

Outages were reported in the southern Domodedovo area of the city, according to another Russian outlet, as well as power failures in western Moscow. Electricity was then restored to the areas, the Strana.ua outlet reported.

The cause of the reported explosion is not known. A Telegram account aggregating news for the Lytkarino area described the incident as "an ordinary accident at a substation."

The MSK1.ru outlet quoted a local resident who speculated that a drone may have been responsible for the explosion, but no other Russian source reported this as a possible cause.

Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Moscow with long-range aerial drones in recent months, including a dramatic wave of strikes in late May.

On Sunday, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said the region's air defense systems had intercepted an aerial drone over the city of Elektrostal, to the east of Moscow. No damage or casualties were reported, he said.

The previous day, Russian air defenses detected and shot down another drone flying over the Bogorodsky district, northeast of central Moscow, Sobyanin said.

There is currently no evidence that an aerial drone was responsible for the reported overnight explosion at the electrical substation in southern Moscow.

The new Four Seasons yacht will set sail in 2026.

Four Seasons has long set the gold standard for luxury accommodations on land and is renowned for its exquisite hotels that offer unparalleled comfort and service. Now, this legacy of luxury is extending its reach to the seas. In a groundbreaking move, Four Seasons Yachts , in collaboration with Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings Ltd and the esteemed Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, is introducing an ambitious venture into luxury sea travel. Scheduled to set sail in 2026, this initiative promises an experience that transcends traditional cruising, offering voyages across the mesmerizing waters of the Caribbean and the historic coasts of the Mediterranean.

Alejandro Reynal, President and CEO of Four Seasons, expressed enthusiasm about bringing the brand's hallmark of guest-centered luxury to the high seas. According to Reynal, this expansion into yachting is a natural extension of Four Seasons' commitment to providing personalized, elegant, and comfortable experiences. The aim is clear: to redefine luxury hospitality, but this time, against the backdrop of the world's most stunning seascapes.

The suites are breathtaking.

The inaugural season of Four Seasons Yachts is poised to offer something truly special. With ten unique voyages planned, travelers will have the opportunity to explore over 130 distinct destinations across more than 30 countries and territories. Each itinerary has been meticulously crafted, allowing guests the flexibility to design their own sea adventure. From the lively atmospheres of Caribbean islands like Saint Barthélemy and Martinique to the cultural richness of Mediterranean gems, including the Greek Isles and Croatia, these voyages promise a blend of well-loved destinations and hidden treasures.

The spacious cabins have incredible views.

Accommodations aboard the yacht are set to be a marvel in themselves. Ninety-five suites, conceived by the creative minds of Fredrik Johannson at Tillberg Design of Sweden and Creative Director Prosper Assouline, are designed to be sanctuaries of tranquility at sea. Each suite, envisioned with elegant interiors, expansive views, and a residential feel, aims to provide guests with a sense of being at home away from home. Among these, the Funnel and Loft Suites stand out for their sheer luxury and space. They offer unique features such as splash pools, outdoor showers, and breathtaking panoramic views, setting a new benchmark for luxury accommodations on water.

The pool deck features a bar and lounge chairs.

Beyond the exquisite suites, the yacht will feature various amenities designed to cater to every guest's needs. With eleven dining options, a comprehensive spa and wellness center, a state-of-the-art marina, and an innovative pool area capable of hosting events, the yacht ensures a variety of experiences that enrich the journey.

“We’re building a stunning seafaring venture that will be enjoyed as a yacht experience rather than a cruise experience," says Thatcher Brown, chief commercial officer and head of joint operations at luxury shipping specialist Marc-Henry Cruise Holdings, the joint owner/operator of the Four Seasons Yachts brand. "The intrinsic value of Four Seasons brand leadership in luxury hospitality combined with the passionate pioneering spirit and expertise of the project team is manifested in the creation of truly special Four Seasons Yachts experiences."

What is a Food Tour?

A food tour is an adventure for your taste buds, guided by a knowledgeable local passionate about their city’s cuisine and traditions. It’s a journey through the heart of a destination, exploring themes like markets, bakeries, or even wine tasting, depending on your interests. Often including tastings of food, wine, or liquor and insights into food production, food tours are a deep dive into local flavors and culinary practices. 

At Tasty Itinerary, we think of it as a “foodie adventure” – a unique opportunity to sample, learn, and fall in love with local eats and drinks you might otherwise miss, all while having fun and trying new things.

A Food Tour Looks Like This

• Meet and Greet : Your guide will welcome you at your meeting point, provide an overview of the tour you’re about to take, and introduce the city’s highlights.
• First Bite : You’ll have your first taste, usually at a local bakery or café, sampling the city’s typical breakfast fare. Unless it’s an afternoon or evening tour.
• Culinary Exploration : Part of a food tour is embarking on a walking tour through the city, stopping at local markets, eateries, and specialty shops to taste a variety of local specialties.
• Diverse Dining : Experiences may include on-the-go street food tastings and-or sit-down meals at restaurants.
• Learn and Taste : The food they introduce all comes with a story—learn about its history, production, and cultural significance.
• Insider Tips : This is one of the most valuable parts of a food tour. Your guide will provide personal recommendations at other must-visit spots to eat, drink, and local gems to explore.

Practical Tips to Book a Food Tour

Now that we know what a food tour is, here are some practical tips to help you book and take a food tour during your next vacation.

During a private food tour in Girona, Spain , hubby got a lesson on how to slice jamón. And I fell in love with one of my favorite pastries to date, the local pastry of Girona called a Xiuxo.

1. Do Your Research

First things first: do some homework. 

• Ask friends or family who’ve visited the destination about their food tour experiences.
• Read reviews on tour companies and individual guides on platforms like Viator , WithLocals , and Devour Tours .
• Join travel Facebook groups for insider recommendations.
• Aim for high-rated tours and rave reviews because these tours are vetted for.

2. Check What’s Included

Not all food tours are created equal. 

• Read the description of the itinerary. See how many stops are planned and what kind of tastings are in store. 
• Are you into paying for the guide and then paying for the food you choose to eat during the tour, or does an all-included fee sound more cost-effective? 
• Sometimes, splurging a bit on a private tour can offer a different perspective, and you can tailor it as you wish.

Foodie Tip: Above all, embracing new flavors and experiences is at the heart of what makes a food tour truly memorable.

3. Find a Tour That Fits Your Budget

Cheese and bread samples with toppings on a food tour in Florence, Italy, at the Mercato Centrale.

Your budget will dictate a lot of your choices. Food tours can range from modest to extravagant, especially in cities like Rome, Paris, or New York, where the cost of living (and dining) is higher. Weigh the experience against the expense to find your sweet spot.

4. Check the Meeting Point and Schedule

We tried Tigella, a typical food from Modena, for the first time during a food tour. We had never heard of it until then.

Logistics matter. Look at where your food journey starts and ends and how it fits your accommodation and transportation plans. Timing is just as crucial; you want a tour that syncs up with your day without making you rush or miss out.

Pro Tip: Book your tour around breakfast or lunchtime, or make it a dinner adventure. That way, it doubles as a meal, filling you up with delicious experiences.

5. Communicate With Your Tour Company and Guide

On a food tour in Bologna, we visited a pasta factory where several ladies made tortellini by hand.

Got questions? Dietary restrictions? Need to cancel or reschedule? Get in touch with your tour provider early on to smooth out any wrinkles before they become crinkles. A little pre-tour communication goes a long way in ensuring your food tour is as seamless as it is scrumptious.

Foodie Tip: We recommend touching base with your guide before you arrive; their insider tips on where to eat and what to see can be as valuable as the tour itself. You can start planning and making reservations.

Where to Book a Food Tour?

We always start our research and book most of the tours on these sites with great success. It’s a great starting point in finding one that fits your needs.

• Get Your Guide

What is a food tour called?

A food tour goes by many names: culinary tour, foodie tour, gourmet tour, but here at Tasty Itinerary, we prefer “foodie adventure.”

How would you describe a food tour?

A food tour is an exciting experience for food enthusiasts, guided by a local expert passionate about showcasing their city’s best culinary offerings and traditions. It’s a chance to immerse oneself in the distinctive flavors of a location, accompanied by a fellow food lover.

It’s common to visit fresh local markets and specialty stores during food tours.

Why do people go on food tours?

People go on food tours to sample and learn about local eats and drinks they might miss if they were exploring on their own. Spending time with a local foodie makes the experience unique, as who better to learn from than someone passionate about local cuisine? Plus, it’s just fun to eat and try new foods!

How does a food tour work?

A food tour typically starts with meeting your guide, who leads you through 5 to 8 culinary stops, offering tastes and sips of the locale’s specialties. These tours can be private or in small groups of 6 to 10 people, lasting about three to four hours to ensure a more personal and manageable experience. The goal is to keep things intimate, making navigating and soaking in every delicious moment easier.

What is included in a food tour?

What you’ll get on a food tour varies with each company or guide. Typically, tours include a mix of guided walks and tastings of local foods and drinks, ensuring you get a hearty experience of the local cuisine. The amount and variety of food depend on the tour and location, but the aim is always to leave you happily satisfied.

Be aware that some tours offer just the guide’s expertise, leading you through the city’s culinary spots, where you pay for what you eat as you go. This approach lets you pick what tempts your taste buds but requires more flexibility and budgeting. Always check the tour details to know exactly what’s included and make the best choice for your appetite and curiosity.

Are food tours worth it?

Yes, we believe food tours are worth it and a great way to learn about a destination through its food, as it is part of its culture. The value you get from what you eat and drink and the bonus of having a great guide to show you around make it an amazing and worthwhile experience.

It was hot in Mazatlan, so I wore a tank top, shorts, and a hat on our food tour.

What do you wear to a food tour?

Unless specified, be comfortable and stay casual. Always wear comfortable shoes as you will walk a lot during the tour when you’re not sitting down to eat.

Do you tip your food tour guide?

Always tip your food tour guide, especially if they’ve done a fantastic job.

Japanese Sample Food Making Experience and Asakusa History Tour

The Japanese Sample (Sampuru) Food Making Experience and Asakusa History Tour includes a class that explores the Japanese craft of making fake food for restaurant displays in Japan and walking tour of Kappabashi (Kitchen Town) and Asakusa Sensoji Temple to learn about the history of the area. Learn about the history and technique of the unique 100-year-old craft of making food sample displays while learning about the history of the area on this small group experience.

Videos of Japan’s “fake food” techniques have been a viral sensation for years. Many people are amazed with the intricacies of this elaborate yet delicate craft of making fake food by hand and showcasing them as displays in front of restaurants. The sample fake food look just like real food and are almost indistinguishable, which is a lot of fun for people to guess which food is real or not.

Almost every restaurant will have these glistening, perfectly-plated fake food models that are tempting you from their windows. The fake foods are made of plastic or wax, and to this day each one is crafted by hand, and can take anywhere from a few hours to entire entrees that can take up to a week. Because of the detail in each food sample, artisans say it takes up to 10 years to perfect the craft and the imitations can cost up to 10 times the real food they represent (sometimes up to $500 USD or 55,000 JPY).

It’s said that fake food production began in the 1930s with Takizo Iwasaki, an artisan from Gujo Hachiman. Story goes, he made an omelet out of wax that was so realistic his wife couldn’t tell it apart from the real thing. He would go on to start one of the biggest plastic food manufacturers in Japan that now controls an estimated 60% of the fake food market. By the 1950s, fake food had caught a wave of popularity.

In the 3-hour Japanese Sample Food Making Experience and Asakusa History Tour, learn about the history and traditional craft of Sampuru food with an English-speaking guide and translator before going to Kappabashi and Sensoji Temple. Before the workshop, see different types of Sampuru models and learn how this craft was started and what the significance of sampuru food displays are in Japan. After the explanations, join a workshop with a small group where you can get a hands-on experience in making tempura sampuru foods, which you can take home as a souvenir. This is a great experience for anyone, including young children (age 7 and up).

After the workshop, head over to Kappabashi Street (Kappabashi Dougu Gai), which is lined with over 170 shops specializing and selling all things culinary, including dishes, pots, pans, cooking utensils, knives, and of course, sampuru food displays like the one you made in the workshop. At nearly a kilometer long and with over 100 years of history, this area is considered one of the world’s best for kitchenware.

Next, visit Sensoji Temple (also known as Asakusa Kannon Temple), which is Tokyo’s most popular and oldest temple. While approaching the temple, you’ll be able to see the iconic Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) with its huge red chochin lantern that is not only a symbol of Asakusa, but also an icon for the city of Tokyo. Moreover, You’ll walk through and learn about Nakamise Dori, a 200-meter street with a few centuries of history and is a great place for purchasing souvenirs. Once you arrive at the main temple of Sensoji, known as the site of the statue the 1400 year old Kannon statue (the Kannon statue in Sensoji Temple is considered a “secret Buddha” and is not accessible to the public).You will have the opportunity to learn about Shinto and Buddhism (and the difference between temples and shrines in Japan) The tour guide will also show you how to properly burn incense at the burner in front of the temple’s stairs, help you with omikuji fortunes, and getting omamori charms to complete your trip.

13 Best Boston Food Tours In 2024 (And Why You’ll LOVE Them!)

I think Boston is one of the most exciting foodie cities in the U.S., so doing a food tour during your visit is honestly such a great idea!

Not only do they offer incredible value and insider info on all the best places to eat, you’ll get to sample some of the best food around the city in a short amount of time. It’s the perfect way to introduce yourself to Bean Town, or dive in a bit deeper for repeat visitors.

This post is all about my picks for the best Boston food tours to add to your itinerary, and I’m here to make it easier for you to choose the best tours for your plans and preferences! So, are you ready? Let’s get started!

New England Wanderlust contains affiliate links, and is a member of the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. We may earn a commission from any purchases you choose to make from our links, at no additional cost to you. For more information, please refer to our  Privacy Policy .

DON’T HAVE TIME TO READ THE WHOLE POST? DON’T WORRY – I’VE GOT YOU COVERED! My Top 3 picks for the best Boston food tours are : 1. North End Pizza & History Food Tour (4.5/5⭐️) 2. North End & Public Market Tour (5/5⭐️) 3. Brewery Tour With Lunch or Dinner (5/5⭐️)

What Food Is Boston Most Famous For?

First thing’s first, it’s a good idea to know what food Boston is most famous for before you decide which tour is best for you. And because it’s a city, you could argue that pretty much all cuisine shines here, but there are definitely two types of food that are going to stand out in Boston:

🍝 Italian and 🦞 Seafood !

Between the 1850s and early 1900s, a large population of Italians immigrated to Boston via the Port of Boston, and many of them settled in the North End. Now, the North End is famous for charming and historic streets, and … you guessed it – Italian food! If you love Italian cuisine, this is where you should go (or take your tour!).

And of course, seafood is another star of the Boston food scene simply because of its location on the coast. Menus all across the city will feature fresh seafood from coastal towns like Wellfleet, Chatham, Ipswich, Nantucket and more . In particular, if you see Wellfleet or Chatham oysters, Nantucket scallops or Maine lobster on the menu, you’ll definitely want to consider ordering those!

Best Boston Food Tours To Add To Your Itinerary

Okay, now that you know what types of cuisine Boston is known for, let’s jump into the best food tours! I’ve broken them all down into sections, including the best North End tours , this awesome seafood tour , tours that highlight local beers , this special sweets tour and even food cruises .

Are Boston Food Tours Worth It?

Absolutely! In fact, depending on how long you’re in Boston, it may even be worth it to do 2 tours. A North End tour combined with something different like a scenic food cruise tour, or the fun cooking class would be an amazing way to really get a feel for the culinary scene.

Tips For Your Boston Food Tour!

• Wear comfy shoes! Sneakers will be ideal. Boston is a pretty casual city anyway, and most tours on this list head over to the North End, where there are historic (meaning, uneven!) cobblestone and brick sidewalks. Sturdy and comfy shoes are a must.
• Come hungry! I know it seems this goes without saying, but most food tours will equal an entire meal. Be sure to read the description to find out how much food you’ll be eating, and come hungry enough for it!
• Bring a reusable water bottle if your tour doesn’t provide drinks or bottled water. Some do, but it’s best to check and come prepared.
• Don’t hesitate to ask questions on your tour! The guides are local experts, and they love sharing their knowledge on the food scene in Boston. Don’t hesitate to raise your hand and get all your questions answered. I also highly suggest asking where to eat during the rest of your trip because they’ll have awesome off-the-beaten-path recommendations!

The Historic Downtown Food Tour is in the heart of the historic district and highlights many styles of Victorian architecture. The West Cape May tour is just a few blocks away and features our rapidly expanding Culinary innovations. 

The reaction of tourists on the Cape May Food Tours to their experience of the food, culture and beautiful architecture is what is so special about the tours. Even local guests who have lived in Cape May all their lives say they experience the area in a wonderful, fresh new way.

Savor and Stroll Culinary Tours

Social: @savorandstrollculinarytours

Established: 2017

Savor and Stroll was started by Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Kathleen Carozza in July of 2017. 

Kathleen believes food should nourish the mind, body and soul.

The memories of a favorite family recipe, comfort food or a treat can invoke joy and a sense of belonging. My philosophy is that all foods can nourish and fit into an overall healthy lifestyle. Marrying food tasting to a healthy outdoor activity like walking is the perfect way to enjoy guilt free indulgences!

Savor and Stroll Culinary Tours takes customers through the heart of Morristown, NJ eating all the way. Our Classic Savor and Stroll tour includes a leisurely stroll, food samples and some history. Savor, Sip and Shop Tour that includes shopping at several unique small stores, food samples as well as wine and beer tasting. Our new History Hike and Graze is a longer more active tour with lots of history and tastings.

Have You Met Newark Tours

Social: @haveyoumetnewark

Have You Met Newark Tours was founded in 2012. Living and eating every day in Newark gives our guides the opportunity to meet a lot of cool entrepreneurs and enjoy a lot of top notch meals. It wouldn't be fair not to share these great eats and stories with the folks who take their walking tours!

They offer their Nom Nom Newark Food Tours in downtown Newark and in the Ironbound. No two food tours are exactly alike and they vary their stops!

Their downtown food tour usually serves up downtown Newark classics like the pastrami sandwich at Hobby's Delicatessen and creative bites from brand new spots like the oxtail handpies and sweet potato tots at The Yard. In the Ironbound they often taste the rich Brazilian dessert, brigadeiro; try a unique ice cream flavor at famed Nasto's ice cream; and sample a plethora of Portuguese smoked meats at Caseiro e Bon. All tours include 4 stops. Come hungry!

Sister Cities Food and Shop Tours

Social: @sister_cities_tours

Sister Cities Tours have been in business since October of 2017. Their inspiration came from watching visitors come to their town and seeing them looking down at their phones to try and figure out where to go; they’d literally walk up to anyone who looked lost and ask them what they were looking for or where they were trying to go.

Their tours take customers to stops at 5 different locations for tastings. They also incorporate stops at shops where customers can browse and shop to take some of the magic home with them.

Sister Cities is unique because they are right on the state line between NJ and PA. Their tours incorporate both towns, as well as focus on the rich history of the area. They have special relationships with their shop and restaurant owners, which allows them VIP access to their products and services. They take so much pride in the special uniqueness of the Delaware River Towns, and their number one priority is to have fun, as well as make sure their guests leave feeling full and wanting to come back again for more.

Taste of Asbury Food Tours

Social: @tasteofasburyfoodtours

Taste of Asbury Food Tours all began with a trip in 2013; Bonnie Brown, the tour operator and Justin Brown, her husband, embarked on a six week cross country road trip around the United States. At each of their stops, they wanted to explore the unique culture and history that each city had to offer. Food was always a distinctive feature of these cities that allowed them to gain a view into the local culture. They found that local food tours allowed you to not only glimpse into the soul of the city you were visiting, but also gave you an opportunity to sample some of the best foods, desserts, and drinks that had created these distinct culinary scenes. As residents of Asbury Park, they knew a food tour would be perfect for the historic and growing city.

In 2017 they created Taste of Asbury Food Tours and began conducting walking tours around the city that showed off all of the amazing foods Asbury Park had to offer. As high school and elementary school teachers by day, they work incredibly hard to bring their passion for education into their classrooms. This same work ethic is seen on every tour they conduct. Their love for Asbury Park is proudly on display as they give visitors a look into the soul of this city by the sea, through the foods of this amazing town.

Real, authentic experiences

We love the highlights, but for us the real magic is found off the tourist trails. Our trips combine iconic sites with hidden gems that you’ll only discover with Intrepid. We’re talking mornings exploring the Taj Mahal, followed by a Mughlai cooking class with a passionate home cook.

Local expertise

Whether you’re perusing markets, hunting down the best street food bites or learning how to cook centuries-old family recipes at a homestay, there’s no better way to get the inside scoop on a destination – and its culinary traditions – than with an expert local leader by your side.

Small groups

Big coaches and flag-toting tour guides don’t cut it for us. With a maximum group size of 12, our groups blend in with the locals and have plenty of opportunities to interact with chefs, street food vendors and group leaders. It also means you can really connect with your fellow foodies.

Must-try dishes around the world

Peru – ceviche

Ceviche is the unofficial national dish of Peru. It's made by marinating cubes of raw fish and seafood in lime juice, onions, salt and aji amarillo chilli peppers, and is served cold with sweet potato chunks, plantain chips and corn on the cob.

Spain – paella

This saffron-flavored rice dish originated in Valencia hundreds of years ago when hungry servants would combine rice with leftovers from Moorish kings' lavish banquets. The dish varies across the regions, but the mixed version with chorizo, mussels and prawns is the most popular internationally.

India – thali

Struggling to choose just one curry? Fear not. A thali comprises several eye-popping dishes served on a large plate. The dishes typically include grains, lentils, vegetables or meat curries, chutney, raita, pickles and pappadum – creating the perfect balance of sweet, salty, bitter, sour, astringent and spicy flavors.

Balkans – cured meats and cheeses

When traveling through the Balkans, treat your tastebuds to delicious charcuterie boards loaded with traditionally preserved meats, cheeses, vegetables and bread. Some of the most popular Balkan meats to try include cevapi (homemade grilled sausage), njeguši (dry-cured ham) and pljeskavica (Balkan burger).

Israel & Palestinian Territories – falafel

Considered to be Israel’s national dish, these balls of deliciousness (made with ground chickpeas, herbs and spices) are a must-try plant-based dish. They’re usually served on a platter or in a warm pita pocket filled with pickled vegetables, crunchy cabbage salad and generous lashings of creamy tahini sauce.

Thailand – khao soi

There’s a whole world of Thai noodle dishes to discover beyond the obvious (and delicious!) pad thai. Khao soi is a chicken and coconut noodle soup from northern Thailand. It’s packed with vibrant aromatics and is served with crispy fried noodles, shallots and fresh lime wedges on top.

Food tour highlights

Asia’s answer to Seoul food

Hit South Korea to wash down crunchy Korean Fried Chicken (aka KFC) with a glass of soju, share a traditional plant-based meal with Buddhist monks at your monastery stay, and get the inside sip on Busan’s bustling craft beer scene at a brewery.

Pilgrimage through the Portuguese plate

Head to Iberia to cook up a Galician feast using Vigo’s finest seafood, sip world-class wines in the spectacular Douro Valley wine region, sip Ginjinha while snacking on petiscos, and discover Portugal’s best-kept foodie secret – the Alentejo countryside.

Temples to tempura, shrines to sashimi

Journey to Japan to discover the country's most delicious foodie hotspots. Feel like a real Iron Chef during an ‘Art of Sushi’ masterclass, experience the seasonal flavors of obanzai ryori at a cooking class, and enjoy the simple and delicious flavors of monastic cuisine in Koya-san.

Master Morocco’s medina flavors

Make your way to Morocco and enjoy a home-cooked dinner with a family in Chefchaouen, share a Berber meal at a desert camp in the Sahara, watch ras el hanout being freshly ground in a Marrakech spice souk, and eat mechoui (slow-roasted lamb) cooked in an earth oven.

Enjoy mouthwatering Mexican food

Get a true taste of Mexico in some of the country’s most famous culinary regions. Enjoy a tasty taco feast in Mexico City, visit a traditional mezcaleria to learn about this famous Oaxacan tipple, feast on fresh seafood at a cooking class in Huatulco and maybe sample the surprisingly delicious delicacy of chapulines (grasshoppers).

Savor vibrant Vietnamese flavors

Chop, slice and slurp your way through Vietnam on a culinary quest from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City. Cook up regional dishes like cao lau noodles in Hoi An, tour Hue on a motorbike followed by a plant-based lunch at a pagoda, and feast on southern Vietnamese specialties at a Mekong Delta homestay.

Introducing vegan food tours

Tour reviews

Food tour faqs, what food can i expect.

Expect to eat the local way. We don't call these trips ‘food adventures’ for nothing. Forget Michelin stars and 20-course degustations – our local leaders will help you get behind the scenes of local food culture, track down the freshest street food, discover the most authentic local restaurants and reveal the traditions and techniques that make these destinations so deliciously mouth-watering. From lining up with locals for fresh tortillas in a Mexican market to hopping between Logrono’s thriving tapas bars, they’ll show you local food from the perspective of those who eat it every day.

How does a Food Adventure differ to a regular Intrepid trip?

All of our food trips have been designed with one thing in mind – experiencing the best local food on the planet. But we all know that there’s much more to food than just eating it – so whether it’s browsing markets for fresh produce, sizzling up a storm in a cooking class or meeting a local street-food legend, we’ve stuffed your plate to the brim. And once you’ve devoured all the local food you can handle, we’ve made sure our Food Adventures are rolled up into a burrito with the lot so you won’t miss out on the iconic sights and authentic cultural experiences that are found on all our Intrepid trips.

Is there any freedom & flexibility in the itineraries?

Like all Intrepid itineraries, we’ve made sure our food trips provide free time between activities, allowing you to digest a destination either with your group or on your own. You might spend the morning exploring a buzzing local market with your guide and cooking a delicious local dish with your group before heading off on your own to wander the marbled halls of a museum or cycling through ancient alleys.

We’ve also left plenty of mealtimes free of organized activities, which gives you the flexibility to ‘get your gourmet on’ at a fine dining restaurant or simply seek out your own ‘real food’ adventure. Needless to say, your leader will be there every step of the way with suggestions and recommendations.

What transport is used?

Sometimes, the best way to eat like a local is to travel like one too. That could mean jumping on a boat to discover the flavors of the Mekong Delta, riding the Tokyo subway to a sake bar or rattling along in a rickshaw in pursuit of Agra’s finest chaats. We love to use local transport because it gives us a chance to experience everyday local life from a new perspective.

What is the accommodation like?

Whether you’re spending the night in an ancient fortress or in the home of a local family, most of our trips include a memorable overnight stay that is designed to make your trip extra memorable. When we do choose to use hotels, all of our accommodation options are in our Original style, which means a mix of 2-3 star establishments that are safe, clean and comfortable.

How do Intrepid's Food Adventures benefit local communities?

We help support local economies by purchasing snacks and meals from street-side vendors, dining in local restaurants, eating seasonal produce from the destination, and using local guides throughout our itineraries. Many of our trips incorporate visits to community projects, and we choose locally-owned accommodation wherever possible. We are committed to a style of travel that is culturally, environmentally and socially responsible.

Why does every Food Adventure include a plant-based meal?

Plant-based foods generally have a much lower carbon footprint than animal-based foods, and incorporating more plant-based eating into our diet is a major opportunity to mitigate and adapt to climate change. As Intrepid continues to innovate in ways that promote and support sustainability, including a delicious meal that showcases local fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds is just one way that we are investing in the health of our planet.

What about vegan travelers?

We do our best to accommodate dietary requirements (including vegan diets) on all of our trips, and all our Real Food Adventures will include at least one plant-based meal. If you want a more tailored experience, that's where our Tailor-Made team can step in. We can use our 30 years of experience and regional specialists to help you create your perfect vegan food adventure.

How to Find an Ethical, Authentic Food Tour

Marisel Salazar is a New York-based food, travel, and lifestyle writer and host. She has worked extensively with restaurants and chefs.

Rocío Vazquez Landeta takes a small group of travelers through the colorful, dahlia-lined streets of Jamaica, the local flower market in Mexico City , after loading up on café de olla and pan dulce in Condesa. They sample carnitas, fruit, corn, freshly made tortillas, mole, and warm chicharrón while taking in the perfume-scented streets and lush bouquets spilling from the market's stalls.

Vázquez Landeta's tours feature Indigenous food, like mixiote , a pre-Hispanic dish from the state of Hidalgo that is made by wrapping goat and beef with agave leaves and seasoned with chiles. It is a family recipe from local Indigenous cook Don César. Guests might try insects that belong to Mexico’s Aztec heritage and quesadillas from Lerma de Villada made by Doña Bertha, an Indigenous woman who has managed the same stall for 45 years in La Merced Market . The aforementioned coffee on the tour comes from a tiny Indigenous community in the Oaxacan mountains.

“Our food in Mexico is a mix of Indigenous and Spanish ingredients—we cannot separate both cultures," explained Vázquez Landeta. "Chicken, beef, pork, [and] goats all came from Spain, and both cultures are mixed together to create our dishes, so basically, the food we eat today was created in the 1500s and 1600s after the conquest,”

Tours like Vázquez Landeta's have become a fun and popular activity for travelers to book on vacation, offering a chance to discover a new place through its cuisine. But not all are created equal. How do travelers know they're booking a food tour that provides an authentic look at the destination's food scene while also refraining from whitewashing a destination's colonial past?

For travelers who want to be mindful and learn ways they can avoid booking food tours that are inauthentic (or run by companies that are not highlighting or giving back to native communities), we spoke with local food tour operators on examples of red flags, things that travelers should watch out for while on a food tour, and signs of an unethical experience—but also who is doing it right .

Do your research and ask questions—but also read between the lines.

Try to find locally owned tours from small companies. Although this may require a little bit of digging, it’s worth reading the prospective food tour’s owned website, checking their information and social media platforms if available, seeing if they are actually doing what they say they do, and searching for any published press. Also, send them an email and ask questions outright.

If you do choose to send a message, what questions should you ask? Ask if the owners and the vendors on the tour are local to the area and what their ethical practices are. Now is also the time to ask about anything important to you.

“Asking questions is key, and you’ll find a lot of unethical companies don't even take the time to reply or reply with evasive answers,” said Vázquez Landeta.

Avoid booking through large travel platforms.

While super convenient for booking flights and hotels, avoid booking food tours through platforms.

Brian Bergy of Lost Plate , a food tour company that runs tours in Portland, China, and Cambodia, says: “Don’t book on third-party sites where you can’t really see what the company is all about." (All of Lost Palate's tours in China are led by Bergy’s wife, who is native Chinese, and their guides, who are all of Chinese heritage.)

“They usually take 30 percent commission making it very difficult for companies to make a profit, pay good wages, and give you quality service,” Vázquez Landeta added.

Read the reviews.

If available, check out the reviews the way you would a restaurant or a movie. You can learn a lot from previous guests’ experiences. Bergy suggests looking at the photos that guests post on those reviews and at the food portions—it will be pretty easy to tell the difference between simple samples and the real deal.

“Lots of food tour companies visit big popular restaurants or local chains, and many only provide a small sample at each restaurant. This means they are probably getting the sample for free from the restaurant in order to encourage guests to come back later (or post about them on social media),” said Bergy.

Instead, you want to look for food tours that visit small, locally-owned restaurants—the kind where the owners are there every day and are likely the ones making and serving the food.

Check the price.

Vetting the price of your food tour before booking is a tell-tale sign of whether or not your food tour is playing fair, Vázquez Landeta explained.

"Really cheap tours tend to be abusive with the community, rely on discounts or commissions from the vendors, and they need to have big groups to make a profit," she told TripSavvy. "Big groups are very damaging for the places you visit; they disrupt local life and create conflicts within the community."

Opt for locally-owned and operated.

While many companies may seem local online, the owners may be from another country or belong to a bigger international company. Investigate to see where your food tour operator and the vendors on their planned tour come from.

Everybody from Vázquez Landeta's Eat Like a Local is local to Mexico or Mexico City. Vázquez Landeta was born and raised in Mexico City, as were her mother, father, and grandparents. She only hires women from Mexico City, specifically, and all the vendors she visits are locals—the majority of whom are second or third-generation Indigenous immigrants from elsewhere in Mexico who came to the city seeking better opportunities.

Local vendors are an absolute requirement for Vázquez Landeta, who aims to keep tourism money within the community. Since most of the stalls in the markets are owned by Indigenous people, Vázquez Landeta naturally leans towards them.

Find a tour that gives back.

Eat Like a Local charges extra fees to pay to their vendors above their products’ price, social programs for girls from the markets, English lessons, sex education, career programs, cultural programs, and gastronomic programs. Vázquez Landeta's tours also feed homeless people from the area—whoever approaches while on tour gets to eat what the group is eating.

While most tour companies rely on discounts, free stuff, or kickbacks, Vázquez Landeta believes tourism should be a source of economic growth for the city. “If a product is worth 2 pesos, we pay 20 pesos," she said. "This way, tourism money goes straight to the community, improving their lives and incomes. But we don’t give away money—we teach them that their time, knowledge, and service are worth something, and we are paying for that on top of their product price.”

Eat Like a Local gives back to the community in more ways than financial support. Pre-pandemic, they hosted free tours for local senior citizens to interact with others and get to know the city better, and Vázquez Landeta also collected money to rebuild several vendors' stalls at La Merced Market after a devastating fire.

Long-term vendor relationship development is important.

Ask your prospective food tour how long they have worked with the selected vendors or artisans featured in their tours.

"Most of the vendors have been in my life for a long time, way before I started doing tours," explained Vázquez Landeta. "We work with a limited number of vendors because we believe making a deep impact is better than giving a little here and a little there. We want to actually change their income and their way of living by providing extra money constantly each month."

Bergy added that many food tour companies don’t even know the restaurant owners at the places they visit—they just show up. Or, other times, they visit during off-peak hours and negotiate with the restaurant to provide free samples, so the tour company doesn’t need to pay anything for the food.

"A small owner-operated vendor is very unlikely to be able to provide services like this," he added.

Give a self-guided tour a go.

Don’t love being with a bunch of strangers, feeling like a tourist, or spending a lot of money on a small amount of food?

There are many (legitimate) reasons why travelers might want to opt for a self-guided tour instead of a group tour, said Adria Saracino of The Emerald Palate, a Seattle-based, woman-owned travel planning and food tour company that offers self-guided Seattle food tours .

Similar to reasons echoed by Bergy, Saracino advocates going to restaurants directly so that there is no middleman cut, requests for discounts, or doing anything to put them at a disadvantage, like having to give small samples.

"It's a problem in the food tour industry of tours trying to get discounts from restaurants for 'driving business,'" explained Saracino. "This is one of the reasons I went the self-guided route. Especially during the pandemic, this kind of behavior is really hurtful to an industry with already small margins."

A planned self-guided tour, like the ones offered by The Emerald Palate, takes the best parts of a food tour—a local's perspective of what to eat, stories of the businesses, and an itinerary—and removes the least desirable parts of a group tour.

"That means people can explore each neighborhood at their own pace, avoid tourists, and pay the restaurants directly while feeling confident they're learning about the best spots, not just the ones open to hosting a large group,” she said.

Explore BIPOC and minority-led and focused food tours.

There are many minorities and people part of the BIPOC community that rely on tourism as a main source of income in their respective countries or regions. Having BIPOC-led or minority-focused tours is important because they acknowledge their heritage and the original settlers of the territories. 

“Alongside the financial aspect, these people are the original inhabitants of many of the places we visit, so supporting them also means preserving traditions, culture, and jobs for a given group,” said Karla Zenteno, a tour leader based in Mexico who guides a variety of food tours like the Mexico Real Food Adventure through Intrepid Travel. On Zenteno’s tour, travelers are able to gain insight into the culture and cuisine of the Indigenous Zapotec people when they join a Zapotecan family for a traditional lunch in their home. 

What might be some of the repercussions of not supporting minority or BIPOC communities? Gentrification, in a negative sense, and even erasing or not recognizing entire communities. Eduardo Arocho is the owner of Paseo Boricua Tour Co. , in Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood that highlights Puerto Rican restaurants. (Chicago has the second-largest population of Puerto Ricans outside of Puerto Rico.)

“For many decades I would look at Chicago tourism maps and brochures that were filled with restaurants and sites in downtown and surrounding gentrified areas, yet those same maps and brochures showed my neighborhood blank and empty. As if we didn't exist," said Arocho. "Even though we had restaurants, art galleries, and cultural centers. So the first thing I did when I started my company was to hire a local Puerto Rican artist to create a map (treasure-map style) full of color of my neighborhood where I was able to include all the restaurants, businesses, and cultural spaces that would otherwise not be included in Chicago tour maps and brochures."

Zenteno further explains that having a non-BIPOC-led tour is like having a foreigner performing a job that might have been a family tradition, like a fisherman owning a boat and taking people out to sea; ultimately, it has the potential to lead to the slow bereavement or divestment of an entire community. 

On a BIPOC-led and focused tour, travelers are able to immerse more deeply within the culture and the history of the place that they are visiting from someone who has a lived experience perspective. 

“Non-BIPOC tours tend to be a more diluted version of history, looking at the past of the neighborhood as nostalgic. Basically, if we (BIPOC) don't tell our story, no one else will tell our story. Nor would they be legitimately qualified to tell our story,” said Arocho.

What to Watch Out For

The signs of an inauthentic tour go beyond playing digital detective. After you’ve super-sleuthed to the best of your abilities and selected your tour, interact with the vendors during your experience, observe, and ask them questions.

Checking to see how the food vendors treat you is a good indicator. Does your tour operator know the names of the vendors and introduce them to you? Are they familiar with them? How are their interactions? You should be allowed to interact with the vendors and locals during your tour: Many unethical tour companies don't like local people or vendors talking and approaching the tourists, explained Vázquez Landeta.

“If they seem happy to see you but put in all the stops to try to sell you something, that's because they are not getting paid and need to make an income from sales,” she added. Conversely, if your guide takes you to places for shopping, this usually means that they don’t get paid enough and need to make money from craft shops.

Another indicator is to see how many tourists are at the places you are visiting: “If you only see tourists, you are at a tourist trap made just for travelers, and that probably has unfair practices.”

Saracino says to look out for whether the tour is getting a commission or some benefit for bringing you to a certain place, giving guests an inauthentic experience.

“Some tours only work with stops that are easy to work with, whether that's catering to larger groups or being easy on the palate," she explained. "This is another reason I opted for self-guided, as I wanted people to get my honest recommendations without any kickbacks, not my third-tier recommendations based on operational factors."

Finally, be nosy! If you speak the language, ask the vendor (or the guide themselves) how they get paid, how they are treated, and if the company they work for is fair to them.

Vázquez Landeta explains that vendors or tour guides won't spontaneously talk about the negative things, so your curiosity is key. Ask them, and you´ll find out if the company you booked is ethical or not.

"When we visit the markets and the stalls, we talk about their story, how they arrived here, the origin of the dish they sell, and how difficult it is to make it, in a way that people understand their background," she said. "For me, understanding is crucial to have a more tolerant, sympathetic society.”

5 of the Best Brooklyn Food Tours

Brooklyn has incredible food options, from old local pizzerias to cutting-edge modern eateries – take a tour to discover the best munches Brooklyn has to offer.

(Photo: Getyourguide.com)

From authentic New York pizza joints to Burmese pop-up restaurants, Brooklyn has been put on the world foodie map in recent years. It’s no secret that the New York borough has gone from gritty and urban to gentrified and glam (in some parts at least) quicker than you can say ‘fuhgeddaboudit’ but that doesn’t mean that Brooklyn has lost its authentic eateries – they just now mix it up with shinier, more modern offerings. With all this in mind, it can be tricky to find the best places to eat and a food tour is certainly recommended – here are five of the best in Brooklyn.

No Diet Club – Amazing street food in Brooklyn

The name says it all – this is about consuming calories rather than avoiding them. This tried and tested tour company is an excellent choice for anyone who loves indulging in local delicacies and not really caring. Guided by a local foodie, this four-hour exploration of NYC’s most iconic and historically relevant foods investigates the finest pizza slices, chopped cheese, authentic beef patties, fluffy doughnuts and plenty more. As well as food these is (thankfully) a decent bit of walking as well, with a stroll among the historical Brownstone townhomes in the culturally eclectic borough of Brooklyn. Along with the tastings, there are lots of silly jokes thrown in – this is certainly not a tour to be taken too seriously. From €55.

Here the guide explains what makes the DUMBO food offerings famous across the city,  with a scene that has thrived in the past few years. From €73.91.

Brooklyn: 3-Hour Williamsburg Bites Food Tour

To get a feel for the varied gastronomy in the Brooklyn, this tour heads to Williamsburg, arguably the trendiest area in the Borough. The trip is three hours long and takes in everything from Mexican street food to traditional Polish cuisine at Northside Bakery, as well as Oklahoma-style BBQ at Mables Smokehouse, and, of course, an award-winning pizzeria. It’s great fun and the guides really try to make you feel like you are getting a local perspective on the food scene, with some really great tips to use on the rest of your trip. Highly recommended. From €71.98.

Brooklyn Delicious Donut Adventure by Underground Donut Tour

Calling all donut lovers – this tour gets to grips with NYC’s famous sticky snack. This two-hour tour of Brooklyn is designed for donut enthusiasts, sampling an array of traditional donut flavors such as glazed and cream-filled. It visits four famous donut hotspots like Doughnut Plant, Peter Pan, as well as two secret locations. Along the way there is not only some history of Brooklyn and its donuts but also some great tips on other places to eat in the city. This fun tour is also a great shout for bachelor or bachelorette parties too and a really novel way to see Brooklyn. From €69.21.

• Silvertimtim 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles ‘Remarkable’ Queenstown Wine Tour Angus picked us up on time, and from the moment of meeting he was friendly, informative and really knew about wines, he also had a great sense of humour and was chatting throughout the day! The wineries were good, the first being Kinross, a lovely set up and great wines to start us off well. At Kinross we selected our food, which tbh was a let down, my mother and I both had the venison which was super tough and chewy, I would advise choosing the lamb, or any of the other options! If they had given us sharp knives to cut the meat it would’ve helped. Next on the tour was Mt Rosa, again lovely and welcoming and great wines, on this occasion I brought a bottle, the Rose, which was particularly good. The final winery was Gibbston, this has a cave. The person giving the tour seemed irked that we had arrived a little late, we found her to be quite abrupt and unfriendly, it seemed like we were an inconvenience. She spoke very fast and rushed us through the tour of the cave, we didn’t feel encouraged to buy any bottles of wine, I believe no-one did within our group at this vineyard. Overall the day was great, the people who were also on our tour (bus) were a friendly bunch all with exciting travel stories. Angus is a credit to your company and we highly recommend him as a tour guide. Read more Written February 20, 2024

If was as if you had your own private tour, as you could easily stay a one vineyard longer or shorter before opting on where to go next. Andrew shuttled people around where they wanted to go. The vineyards are each unique, from small to large operations. An added benefit was that the weather was incredible during our mid-November visit. Read more Written November 17, 2023
• Stephen M 0 contributions 3.0 of 5 bubbles Not good value in $ or time. At $NZ370+80+drinks.for a couple ( including a platter lunch at the first winery), not great value. The first stop wine tasting was good with a professionally delivered tasting. The lunch venue at the same winery was very nice but the platter for two was basic. Only 3 small pieces of cheese & a small cold meat selection, in addition to nuts, toast, 2 dips, grapes & dry bikkies. We were rushed through to get back on the bus. Should have been 30mins longer. The second wine tasting at the next winery was very basic. The tour would benefit from dropping this stage & adding the time to lunch. The third winery was well done & interesting, with the tasting inside the original barrel cave. Would I recommend it…Unfortunately no, for nearly $NZ500. Read more Written November 15, 2023

What a neat read – I had no idea there was a Theo Chocolate just a couple hours north of me. We will have to check this out one day!

Thank you and enjoy your chocolate tour when you can get there!

I love this list, pinned for later 🙂

P.S. The Oklahoma Factory is Braum’s with an M, we used to live there and they make THE BEST ICE CREAM and milk!!!

Thank you for this great list! I grew up going to the Jelly Belly factory but have yet to take my own kids! I had no idea Reno had one, we were just there and looking for things to do with the kiddos. And the Pez and Ben and Jerry’s states will have to go on our travel wish list!

Ben & Jerry is a great tour and the kids love all the ice cream, well the adults love it too, lol

I live in NC and will be checking out the chocolate factory next time I’m near Ashville. Thanks for sharing 😊

Thank you, visiting food factories can be lots of fun!

Tik Tok food critic leaves big impact, big tips after GTA restaurant tour

Three Greater Toronto Area restaurant owners say they are feeling the "Keith Lee effect" after the Tik Tok food critic came to town to sample their offerings.

Keith Lee, an American mixed martial artist turned food critic, conducted a food tour in the GTA on the weekend. Lee has more than 16 million followers on Tik Tok. The videos of his GTA stops are topping more than four million views.

Owners say the "Keith Lee effect" is real and has given their businesses a boost. On his tour of the GTA, Lee sampled Iraqi shawarma, Korean sponge toffee lattes, pepperoni and fried chicken pizza, and baked macroni and cheese.

Ibrahim Al-Ameri, co-owner of Sumaq Iraqi Charcoal Grill, an Iraqi shawarma restaurant in Scarborough, says his restaurant is usually busy but it is now really busy after Lee visited on Saturday. Lee had veal, chicken and mixed shawarma.

Al-Ameri said Lee has prompted people to come to the restaurant who most likely would have not visited it before.

"We found out when everybody did, when we saw the video was uploaded. It was insane — it went viral. We couldn't be more excited," he said.

"Ever since he came by, the wait time has doubled," he said. "It's very exciting feedback."

Keith Lee holds up a Korean sponge toffee latte from Biscuits to Baskets in Ajax in an image taken from a review posted to Tik Tok. (CBC)

Colter Smith, co-owner of Biscuits to Baskets in Ajax, said patrons might have to get in line now that Lee has been there. Smith said "it's been pretty wild" since Lee dropped by on Friday.

Smith said he had "no clue" who Lee's wife and sister were when they ordered food. Lee came in afterwards.

The Lee family bought Korean sponge toffee lattes and some cake. Lee offered them a "very nice tip." The video was published on Saturday. Business "exploded" on Sunday, Smith said.

"People are just calling us left and right. It's pretty cool," he said.

"It's really noticeable — the Keith Lee effect is a real thing for sure," he added. "We thought we had plenty Sunday and we sold out of it so quick."

Keith Lee eats macroni and cheese from Afro's Pizza in Toronto in an image taken from Tik Tok. (CBC)

Rodney Best, co-owner of Afro's Pizza in Toronto, said Lee came in on Friday. He had two Davis Jr. pizzas, one Hendrix Experience pizza, one Beef samosa pizza and one Afro's Baked Mac and Cheese. He left a $3,000 tip. His review was published on Sunday.

"After he was done tipping, he then sent another tip on top of that to pay for the night's pizza for the rest of the guests who came through here. Anyone who came by, they were able to get a free pizza for the next three hours after he left. From 8 to 11, we were just giving away pizzas," he said.

The restaurant had to close down on Monday to restock its kitchen.

Lee has 'massive influence,' food writer says

Suresh Doss, a Toronto food writer, said how restaurants are reviewed has changed with the advent of social media.

People used to read reviews by food critics in newspapers, then flock to restaurants, but now people will watch reviews on such platforms as Instagram and Tik Tok, then descend on eateries, he said. Lee is leading the way, he added.

"I think he's probably the most influential food person right now on social media because he approaches food from a very organic point, where he goes to places, pays for his food and then does this thing in the car, where he does selfies and he reviews the food and he has a scale," Doss said.

"Someone like Keith Lee has a massive influence where they see something and they're like: 'I want to experience what he experienced. I want to eat that thing.'"

Tinwood Estate, West Sussex

There's plenty of attractions for wine aficionados at the Tinwood Estate. On the edge of the South Downs near Chichester, visitors can book vineyard tours, tastings and afternoon teas. There's a "small-plates restaurant" open during the day, said The Times . One of the big highlights here are the three luxury vineyard lodges "each decorated in beautiful materials, with a terrace for better views of those ripening grapes" as well as a barrel sauna and a hot tub". The estate first started planting in 2007 and "boasts 110 acres of land under vine, where it largely produces Blanc de Blancs, Brut and English Sparkling Rose", said Square Meal .  tinwoodestate.com

Oxney Organic Estate, East Sussex

Near Rye in East Sussex, the Oxney Organic Estate makes “delectable chardonnays and fizz”, said The Times . As the name suggests, this 35-acre vineyard is said to be the "largest single-estate" maker of organic English wines, with wine tours every Saturday from April to November. And on a sunny day, you'll be able to take in the beautiful country views on an idyllic picnic lunch after your tour. Best of all, "you can sleep it off" in the estate's converted barn, shepherd's hut or farmhouse cottage. oxneyestate.com

Ashling Park Estate, West Sussex

Ashling Park is a vineyard and winery – and "what wine it is", said Neil Davey on TheWeek.com . But it also offers a gin school, an excellent restaurant and some delightful luxury lodges.

Ridgeview Wine Estate, East Sussex

Looking out of the tasting room window at Ridgeview Wine Estate, the inspiration for the name is clear. Beyond the vines stretching out across the valley, the landscape rises towards the chalk escarpment of the South Downs, which divides the vineyard from Brighton and the sea. As "one of England's most prestigious producers", said the Daily Mail , Ridgeview offers guided tours, relaxed wine tastings, or all-day dining at The Rows & Vine restaurant. ridgeview.co.uk

Tillingham Winery, East Sussex

Less than a 15-minute drive from the historic town of Rye you'll find Tillingham Winery, "one of the most exciting wine-makers in Britain," said The Times , which is "known for natural, non-intervention wines plus fermentation in earthenware qvevri jars". Book onto one of the vineyard tours in advance and enjoy the "country life" that's incorporated into the surroundings, said Kaye O'Doherty on TheWeek.com . As well as tours and tastings, Tillingham also offers 11 double rooms in a former hop barn and a restaurant with vistas over the Sussex countryside.

Chapel Down, Kent

Chapel Down has won numerous awards throughout the years and its Classic NV Brut is one of the "most accessible" English sparkling wines – "both from a price point and national availability", said Great British Wine . As well as tours Chapel Down also hosts experiences and visitors can book a table at its restaurant, The Swan Wine Kitchen. chapeldown.com

Biddenden Vineyards, Kent

The county's "oldest family-run vineyard", Biddenden produces "top-notch white, rosé, red and sparkling wines", said Country Living , from 11 grape varieties.

Stay a little longer in a romantic cottage with a wood-fired hot tub. biddendenvineyards.com

Langham Wine Estate, Dorset

At this environmentally conscious vineyard in the heart of the West Country, they take a "low-intervention approach to wine making, from grape growing to wine production", said Square Meal . English sparkling is the "brand's main forte" which you can sample on a guided tour and tasting. And if an afternoon of wine tasting really takes it out of you, a sumptuous collection of lunches and afternoon teas are available in the vineyard café. With wines made solely from the classical champagne grape varieties of chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier, this is high-quality fare – be sure not to miss the Rosé NV, which is packed full of gorgeous berry flavours. langhamwine.co.uk

Castlewood Vineyard, Devon

If you're seeking "fizz and festivals" look no further than Castlewood Vineyard in Devon, said Condé Nast Traveller . Its story began in 2006 on a south-facing Devon hillside overlooking the River Axe with owner Rob Corbett planting his vines by hand. Now the vineyard offers private tours and a June festival, held to celebrate the release of the latest vintage. If you stay in one of the Grade-II listed cottages you'll be "surrounded by pretty gardens and countryside". Equally, if you're there for just a day the steep slopes of the vineyard offer "amazing views of the Axe Valley". castlewoodvineyard.co.uk

Camel Valley, Cornwall

Made up of 82 acres of rolling hills bathed in southerly sunshine, Camel Valley is Cornwall's largest vineyard, and was "the first English wine producer to be granted a royal warrant", said Muddy Stilettos . Visitors can join a number of tours and tastings, or sit on a stone-clad terrace, sipping Pinot Noir Rosé Brut as they watch the sun set over vineyards that slope down to the River Camel as it snakes from Bodmin Moor to Padstow. And it's "handy for non-driving access", being on the Camel Trail cycle route. camelvalley.com

One of England's oldest vineyards, in 2023 Three Choirs celebrated 50 years since the first vines were planted on the estate in Newent, Gloucestershire.

Gwinllan Conwy Vineyard, Conwy

There are vineyards "blossoming" all across Wales, said Natasha Lovell-Smith on Great British Food Awards . And one of the most popular is Gwinllan Conwy, which has received multiple national and international awards. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, the "success" of this vineyard is "underpinned by the microclimate" of north Wales, which "pairs resemblance" to the climate of New Zealand. Thanks to its proximity to the sea, this means the vineyard "experiences mild winters allowing the vines to develop earlier". This beautiful vineyard offers tours and wine tasting experiences throughout the year and at the online shop you can buy Welsh artisan produce or Welsh hampers, as well as wine. gwinllanconwy.co.uk

Llanerch Vineyard, Glamorgan

Tucked into the Welsh countryside, yet only 20 minutes from Cardiff, Llanerch Vineyard offers "a drop of romance", said Kerry Walker in The Daily Telegraph . While the vineyard itself is centred on a "whitewashed farmhouse" from 1851 and pulls off the "delicate act of combining original features", the hotel rooms are "bright and contemporary". Beyond the hotel and wine, is the "perkily turreted Neo-Gothic" Hensol Castle which is only a 15-minute walk away. But where Llanerch really "shines" is its restaurant which overlooks the vineyard and offers "great" food and "bang-on" service. You may "come for a wine tour" but you'll "stay for the imaginative locally sourced food". llanerch.co.uk

Ryedale Vineyards, North Yorkshire

The most northerly vineyard in Britain, Ryedale offers more than wine – it also makes cider from the estate's orchards. Voted one of the best vineyards to visit and tour in England, it offers an "informal, humorous and informative guided tour". For those wanting to stay, Ryedale has two "cosy en suite rooms in the farmhouse", said The Guardian , and the "slap-up breakfast" is the "perfect way to start a day" exploring the surrounding North Yorkshire wolds. ryedalevineyards.co.uk
