At Travel Deliciously, we believe some of the most meaningful travel experiences happen around the table.
There is nothing quite like discovering a new place through its food, whether you are sipping wine after a day of exploring the multiday routes of the Amalfi Coast, discovering centuries-old traditions in Bavaria, or sampling seasonal treats in Poland’s bustling Christmas markets. From hands-on cooking classes with local chefs to meals shared with new friends, every stop offers a deeper connection to the culture and people who make these destinations so special.
These are the experiences that stay with you.
Recently, Travel Deliciously founder Theresa Nemetz joined The Morning Blend to share a little more about what makes these culinary vacations so special and why traveling with food at the center can completely change the way you experience a destination.
Discover the World One Bite at a Time
Traditional sightseeing can give you a wonderful introduction to a destination, but food can take you deeper. It can tell you about a country’s history, its immigration patterns, its traditions and the people who call that place home.
That’s the philosophy behind Travel Deliciously.
Our company grew out of Theresa’s experience creating culinary tours in Milwaukee, Chicago and Detroit. Those early food tours introduced guests to the stories behind immigrant communities and the restaurants and food traditions they created. Eventually, guests began asking the question:
“Can we travel with you?”
Today, we create expert-led culinary vacations and immersive travel experiences around the world, combining sightseeing with food, culture and opportunities to connect with local people.
Every Flavor Has a Story to Tell
One of the things that comes through in our Morning Blend feature is that Travel Deliciously isn’t simply about finding great restaurants. Our trips are focused on experiencing the travel destination through its food.
That might mean wandering through a European Christmas market and discovering foods you’ve never tried before, or sitting down with a group of fellow travelers for an unforgettable dinner, or learning how to make a traditional pastry alongside a local expert, or even stepping into a professional kitchen and getting your hands dirty.
Our trips showcase exactly this variety, including market experiences, group meals, cooking and baking activities, and travelers exploring destinations together. Every Travel Deliciously itinerary is designed to include the iconic sights while also allowing travelers to experience the culture through cuisine and authentic local encounters. You can expect our trips to be intimate, small-group experiences including fun activities like cooking classes, private tastings, meals with local experts and behind-the-scenes encounters with the people who make a destination special.
Great Food Is Better When Shared with Great Company
There’s another element that doesn’t always show up in a traditional travel brochure: the people you meet along the way.
Travel Deliciously curates both domestic and international trips for individual travelers as well as families, corporate groups and other travelers who want to share a memorable experience. And sometimes, the people you meet on a trip become part of the memory itself.
When looking back on your trip, you may not remember exactly which street you walked down on a particular afternoon, but you might remember the dinner, the people you were laughing with around the table, and the chef who taught you something new.
