As a country we are more into food than ever, with our celebrity chefs, food TV and food discussion on the internet. More and more Americans are more interested and more curious, more willing to try new things, new places, new concepts, taking an interest in culinary tourism, with many now traveling with food as a destination.
Culinary tours are a great way for travelers to discover specialties of an area in ways that traditional sightseeing used to leave out, with eateries up to the traveler to find on his or her own, for the most part. With a food tour, participants can explore more and get a richer experience than they might on their own, with an insider look behind closed doors and what makes each place unique.
At Hudson Valley Food Tours we help culinarily curious travelers discover those secrets of each location they visit, while increasing exposure for our local restaurants, food shops and food artisans. This season our Culinary Crawls will include Rhinebeck, Beacon and Poughkeepsie. For future towns see the list below. We also do bus tours, both scheduled and custom, to cover a wider region and explore our cheese and charcuterie producers, farms, breweries, cideries and distilleries.
