A TASTE FOR ADVENTURE
Love the idea of eating, sleeping and shopping like a local when you go on holiday?
Intrepid Travel has a range of Real Food Adventures aimed at enabling you to do just that. Groups are led by guides with home-grown knowledge and destinations include South Korea, Mexico and many others. Days might include tastings at a craft brewery or sharing a meal with Buddhist monks, with nights spent at hotels or a local’s home. In southern Italy, the itinerary features a cookery class, tasting mozzarella on the farm and dinner in a trabucco fishing house over the Adriatic (from ￡1,430 for six nights’ accommodation, plus most meals).
