One of the best ways to discover a new city is through its food. And that rings even more true if you’re a foodie! So when it comes to planning travel for our clients, I love being able to find unique food experiences to offer. I recently discovered an amazing tour that I wanted to share because I think it’s such a great idea and fun way to spend time in a new city.

The tour: Fine Dining with a noted Canadian Food Writer

The next time you’re planning a trip to Vancouver BC, consider booking a food tour led by the country’s foremost food journalist/restaurant critic. She’ll share a bit of the city’s culinary history as she takes you on a half-day walking tour of one of the best cities for foodies. You’ll also get to enjoy delicious multiple-course, sit-down dinners at two award-winning restaurants, as well some fantastic signature cocktails and fine wines.

The upside of doing a tour like this is that the guide is really in-the-know about not only where to eat, but what to eat as well. And with her vast knowledge of the city’s best dishes and restaurants and her wide array of industry connections, she’ll be able to provide you with a culinary experience not otherwise possible on your own or with a regular tour guide. You’ll be treated to local delicacies and special dishes not available to other customers – all with VIP service and the chance to meet an Iron Chef champion and hear entertaining stories from some of the best in the business. The convivial atmosphere of this one-of-a-kind experience makes this more of a dinner party than a tour.

And if there’s a certain kind of cuisine you’d like to focus on – like Chinese (Vancouver has a lot of great Chinese restaurants!) or seafood or anything else – she can customize the tour to your palate and make sure you get the red-carpet treatment.
