A selection of travel experiences to savor


Dictionaries define tasting as “distinguishing the flavor of by taking into the mouth; to eat or drink a small quantity of; to partake of, especially for the first time; to experience; to perceive as if by the sense of taste; and to appreciate or enjoy.” Put them all together in a menu of culinary-inspired journeys that celebrate a feast of cultural specialties... and you’ll discover the essence of the travel experiences showcased in our 2012 Tastings collection.


In Europe, you’re invited to meet a contessa for tea at her private Italian palazzo... learn the joys of French cuisine at a Parisian cooking school... make the perfect paella at a 15th-century monastery in Seville... join local chefs on a market visit in Provence... compete in a hands-on “Top Chef Competition” in Venice... taste truffles, savor chocolates, sip wine and sample olive oil with the resident experts who know them best...


Closer to home, enjoy a “Bal de Maison” house party in Louisiana’s Cajun Country, jazzed up epicurean experiences in famous New Orleans eateries... lunch at the Santa Fe School of Cooking... cider tasting in British Columbia... behind-the-scenes culinary walking tours in Seattle’s Pike Place Market, San Francisco’s Embarcadero waterfront and Vancouver... and wine tastings in Sonoma and Napa Valleys... just some of the tempting cultural recipes that make these Tauck journeys indescribably delicious!
