Whether it’s foraging for wild asparagus in Norway, learning to make ravioli in an Italian

enoteca, tasting 100-point wines on a winery road trip in California, or taking a tuk-tuk to

dinner in Cambodia, gastronomic outings satisfy both curiosity and appetite. The following

Virtuoso hotels, tour companies, cruise lines, and destinations offer plenty of fresh ideas

on how to eat your way around the globe alongside insider guides who introduce travelers

to the methods and the people behind every tasty bite. – Elaine Glusac
