Culinary Tourism is a cultural spotlight on what is unique or unusual in a destination
Food and beverage are a centric part of any travel experience.
Culinary tourism bonds travelers to the unique dishes, the people, the culture and the history opening up your senses to the sights, sounds, tastes, smells and
the feeling of an amazing experience!
Let your tastebuds take you on an adventure!
Getting to Know The Locals
I am often asked why I focus on the food, beverage and hospitality businesses in my own home state of Pennsylvania in addition to creating customized travel experiences for my clients throughout the United States.
It's simple. Support and respect ...and making travel personal again
In my industry travel agencies focus on sending people away, but it is my belief it's about bringing people home.
More and more travelers are wanting to stay closer to home, to have more intimate experiences whether it be a local bed and breakfast, winery, new restaurant or a new attraction.
I collaborate with local Bed and Breakfast/Inns and food/beverage businesses to create unique travel packages throughout Pennsylvania, showing what you have in your own "backyard".
Local public and private events and tours are created utilizing a business's own products and services to preserve and promote culinary cultures through hospitality and tourism helping clients understand how food relates to culture.
A Seat At The Table Interviews are a portrait of our small business owners, their character, the character of their business and what motivates them to provide quality services. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to learn about their life, their mission and how I can help support them through travel.
