Many times, I reminisce about the food and wine I experienced in the places I have visited. There is something magical about eating an amazing meal while enjoying a great local wine. Whether you are an experienced food and wine connoisseur or still figuring out what you like, there are many great epicurean experiences to have while traveling in Europe. Here are a few of my favorites:
• Visiting Piedmont Italy to taste a Barolo while overlooking a stunning vineyard
• Learning to make Mozzarella just north of Sorrento, Italy.
• Traveling to Barcelona, Spain to learn how to make Paella in someone’s home while enjoying a nice Cava.
• Or maybe you have always wanted to experience eating pintxos (Basque Country style tapas) while visiting a beautiful Spanish winery.
I think that sharing a food and wine experience connects you to both the people you are with and the place you are visiting. It makes your senses come alive and all it takes is a taste or smell to bring you right back to relive the journey….
