Gourmet on Tour Nominated for Food &Travel 2013 Tour Operator of the Year
London, UK (PRWEB) July 24, 2013 -- Gourmet on Tour, an internationally renowned award-winning culinary tour operator, is thrilled to announce a coveted Food and Travel Magazine 2013 Tour Operator of the Year nomination at: foodandtravel.com/awards. As Food and Travel readers know, only the best in class are nominated for this prestigious award.
Since starting Gourmet on Tour (http://www.GourmetOnTour.com) in 2000, founder and managing director Judith von Prockl has trail-blazed culinary tours facilitating seasoned connoisseurs and avid gourmet home cooks to enhance their epicurean pursuits. What makes Gourmet on Tour such a perennial favourite with new and repeat guests?
“Wherever we travel, we delve deep into the heart of local culture,” Judith explains. “Our cooking courses provide an insight into the country. The ingredients are locally sourced and some of the best you’ll ever enjoy in your entire life, plus sleepovers every bit as salubrious and divine as the meals. Gourmet on Tour expertly sets the perfect ambiance for moments of deep discovery that you’ll never, ever forget!”
“The discerning difference is that our guests enjoy the most authentic culinary experiences in the world’s most incredible places. With genuinely friendly cooks gifting timeless cooking tips and secrets—with the most capable tour guides you’ll find anywhere. Our chefs make you feel at home and gain a genuine feel for the region as an invited guest and not as a tourist. We pair up with the most charming hotels in the region, too,” states this award-winning food tour operator.
“Whether Michelin-starred restaurant or rustic farmhouse kitchen dinners, there’ll always be great food and wine pairings, farm-to-table experiences, amazing market tours, food tastings with our favourite producers, authentic gourmet route suggestions you won’t find in any guidebook and exclusive closed-door wine cellar tastings generally inaccessible to the public.” Judith notes.
Gourmet on Tour has just launched two incomparable new cooking vacations in Europe:
1) Sicily, Italy (private and bespoke tours and scheduled tours for solo travellers) and
2) Gascony, an intensive gourmet course in the sunny and rolling hills of southwest France.
Looking to expand your palate even further afield? Here’s a head’s up on new adventures in China and Vietnam to be added to the tour menu soon, thus increasing this food, wine and cooking tour operator’s cache to 80-plus delectable country cuisines (details are available on http://www.gourmetontour.com).
For food and travel connoisseurs, home cooks looking for luxurious yet authentic cooking courses and corporations seeking uncommon creative team-building culinary retreats, Gourmet on Tour has earned what it takes to win the 2011 IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) Award of Excellence for Culinary Tour Operator.
