What's an Uncommon Epicurean Adventure? We define it as the exploration of a destination - and the discovery of its history, culture and people - through its cuisine. Let us introduce you to the best regional food at its source. You'll meet local chefs, artisanal producers who employ time-honored traditions, visit farms, orchards, markets and vineyards, take cooking classes - and of course, eat. Each adventure will be nicely seasoned with the inclusion of iconic sites and special places.

Learn more about our customized trips for individual independent travelers and how together we can plan a customized - and uncommon epicurean adventure for you. We can also work with you to design an escorted group itinerary, or a corporate retreat with a culinary theme.

NEW IN 2012

New Orleans is one of the top food destinations in the world and possesses a culinary legacy like no other city. They create, consume, and celebrate food and drink here with their own brand of Southern joie de vivre and honor their history - from Po boys to the classic crawfish etouffee. The French Quarter's landmark restaurants, with their long storied pasts, and the other legendary eateries have contributed to the legacy and the building of a contemporary Creole movement. New restaurants offer exciting riffs on traditional dishes. Combine that foodie ambiance with art and architecture, an indomitable spirit - and all that jazz.

Our 4-Day/3 Night independent package will envelop you in New Orleans' celebrated foodie culture with a unique cooking lesson and special to New Orleans dining experiences, market and museum visits. There's a just-right combination of guided and hosted components with flexibility to explore and discover this city on your own.
