Travel with Doc Culinary Insiders Tours

Travel Directions is excited to work with Dr. John Sconzo, a leading food and cuisine expert & photographer, who writes a blog called DocSconz, Musings on Food and Life.  His relationships within the food world have provided us the opportunity to create specific niche food tours to different cities and countries throughout the world.

On these tours our guests will be able to learn directly from the different chefs as we interact and discuss their history and the local resources at their disposal.   These are interactive trips including dining, culture, market visits and hands-on workshops.

Trip lengths vary from 4 nights to 2 weeks depending on the destination.  Group sizes are small.

Our recent City Series Culinary Insights Tour took us to New Orleans.  This 4-night tour combined all of the culinary and cultural elements of New Orleans.  We were co-led by chefs Alex Harrell of Angeline and Michael Gulotta of MOPHO as we explored what makes New Orleans one of the culinary capitals of the US.  This unique tour included a variety of regional activities including visiting an oyster workshop, a traditional Cajun boudin workshop and crawfish boil, enjoying cocktail workshops and much more.

This was a trip not to be missed.
