Food & Drink

The popularity of culinary tourism skyrocketed in the past few years as eager and hungry travelers yearn for new and different tastes of the world. On your next vacation, skip the restaurant crawl and the food festival, and instead head to a local’s home with the help of Bon Appetour, a service that lets you join in on a family dinner.

 

In 50 cities across five continents, local families are opening up their doors (and kitchens) to travelers in search of an authentic cultural and culinary experience.

 

To take part in this adventure in cuisine, visit Bon Appetour’s website and search for hosts in your destination city. Experiences range from paella-making classes to rooftop dinners and wine tastings. Not only will you be enjoying the food, you may also learn how to recreate the dish so you can replicate it once you return home.

 

 

Once you have found an event that interests you, you can connect directly with the host and pay for the experience via the website.

 

To ensure safety during your social dining experience, Bon Appetour carefully screens potential hosts and conducts background checks. Qualified users become verified and are advertised as such on the site.

 

Book your tickets, pull up a chair and maybe even make some friends during your next vacation!
