Napa, CA – Food Marketing Resources, a consulting firm specializing in working with agriculture companies to expand their foodservice business, has launched a new company offering culinary tours for food professionals and food-loving consumer travelers. Global Palate Adventures, www.globalpalateadventures.com, offers small group tours and custom events delving into the food and culture of U.S. and international locations. The tours are geared toward food professionals looking for culinary inspiration – and consumers who love to travel to explore and learn about the food and wine culture of a new region.
According to the firm’s founder Susan Renke, “Offering culinary tours was a natural extension of my foodservice consulting business where I’ve set up tours for clients and their chef customers. I work with local experts in each region and the tours allow me to share my love of learning about new destinations. Cooking alongside locals is a fun way to get to know a new city and its culture.”
The next Global Palate Adventures (GPA) group tour is October 2 – 9, 2016 in Tuscany and Umbria. For this adventure GPA has partnered with Italy expert, Karen Herbst of the International Kitchen, https://www.theinternationalkitchen.com/ to create a custom tour which includes luxury accommodations in Florence, Tuscany and Norcia, Umbria; hands-on cooking classes, truffle hunt, wine and olive oil tastings; excursions to Siena, San Gimignano, and Spoleto; and many meals.
Other recent GPA destinations include Oaxaca, Mexico and British Columbia. The website lists a variety of destinations where the firm can set up custom tours, such as Peru, Ireland, Portugal, Santa Fe, New Orleans, and the Napa Valley.
