About Eat Drink Travel
Welcome to Eat Drink Travel: Where Every Meal Tells a Story
Here’s the thing: for over a decade, Eat Drink Travel existed as something completely different. We were a digital travel magazine, the kind you’d flip through with glossy web pages and carefully composed destination features. Beautiful? Absolutely. But honestly? We were ready for something more.
So we reimagined everything!
The new Eat Drink Travel isn’t just refreshed. It’s completely reinvented for how people actually travel today, with their appetites leading the way, their phones in hand, and an insatiable curiosity about what locals really eat when nobody’s watching.
We kept our deep travel expertise (that decade-plus foundation matters!). We kept our commitment to authentic experiences and trustworthy recommendations. But we focused everything through the lens of what we’re genuinely obsessed with: food tours that actually deliver, cooking classes that teach you something real, wine tastings that don’t talk down to you, and culinary adventures that become your favorite travel stories.
What Is Eat Drink Travel?
Think of us as your food-obsessed friend who’s already been there, eaten that, and kept detailed notes!
We’re a curated platform dedicated entirely to helping you discover, compare, and book the world’s best culinary experiences. Whether you’re dreaming of hand-rolling pasta with a Roman nonna, navigating Singapore’s hawker centers with an expert guide, or learning the secrets of French pastry in an actual Parisian kitchen, we’ve done the homework (delicious, delicious homework!).
At Eat Drink Travel, you can:
✔ Discover and book exceptional food tours, cooking classes, and wine experiences worldwide
✔ Read honest, detailed guides written by people who’ve actually been on these tours (and have the food comas to prove it!)
✔ Shop for culinary travel essentials that actually solve problems—the collapsible food containers that prevent olive oil disasters, the travel coffee gear that doesn’t disappoint
✔ Learn from real traveler experiences through our continuously updated reviews and recommendations
The Eat Drink Travel Story: Heritage Meets Hunger
For years, Eat Drink Travel Magazine showcased destinations, hotels, and classic travel experiences. We built a reputation for thorough reporting, gorgeous photography, and recommendations you could actually trust. That legacy? We’re proud of it!
But something shifted. We noticed our most popular stories always involved food. The walking tours through local markets. The family-run trattorias. The street food adventures. Readers weren’t just asking “where should I go?” They were asking “where should I eat? What tour won’t leave me hungry? Which cooking class is actually worth it?“
So, we made the leap (exciting? terrifying? both!). We took everything we’d learned about travel journalism, added the collective decades of eating and experiencing our way through various continents, and rebuilt Eat Drink Travel from the ground up as the culinary travel resource we wished existed when we started traveling.
The result? A platform that combines magazine-quality storytelling with practical, been-there-eaten-that guidance for food-focused travelers. We’re journalists, travelers, and food connoisseurs at heart. We just believe the best stories happen around tables, in kitchens, and at street food stalls where nobody speaks your language but everyone understands delicious!
What You’ll Find Here
Food Tours That Actually Deliver
Guided walks through Rome’s Trastevere. Singapore hawker center deep dives. Tapas crawls through Barcelona that hit the spots locals actually go. Paris food market tours that teach you what to look for. We’ve vetted them all (tough job, I know!).
Hands-On Cooking Classes
Learn to make fresh pasta in Florence. Master Thai curries in Bangkok. Bake French pastries in Lyon. Roll sushi in Tokyo. These aren’t watch-the-chef-cook demonstrations—these are real classes where you actually cook!
Wine, Beer & Spirits Experiences
Tuscan vineyard tastings. Napa wine tours. Craft brewery experiences. Scottish whisky journeys. Sake tastings in Kyoto. We focus on experiences that teach you something while you sip.
Culinary Adventures & Market Tours
Street food walks. Local market immersions. Farm-to-table experiences. Cheese cave visits. Chocolate factory tours. Food truck safaris. If it involves eating and learning, we’re interested!
Travel Gear That Actually Matters
The portable espresso makers that don’t disappoint. Wine bottle protectors that survive baggage handlers. Food storage containers that prevent TSA olive oil incidents (we’ve all been there!). Travel cookbooks worth the luggage weight.
Why Travelers Trust Eat Drink Travel
Look, anyone can throw together a list of popular food tours. We do something different!
We actually go on these tours. I’m talking about personally experiencing the pasta-making classes, the market walks, the wine tastings. When we can’t personally test something (there are only so many hours in a day and so much room in our stomachs!), we tap our network of trusted food writers and culinary professionals who have.
We read hundreds, sometimes thousands, of verified reviews. We’re not just counting stars. We’re reading what travelers actually say about portion sizes, guide knowledge, whether vegetarians got real food or sad lettuce, and if the experience felt authentic or factory-produced.
We contact tour operators directly. What happens with dietary restrictions? How many people typically join? Are ingredients locally sourced? We ask the questions you’d want answered.
We continuously monitor and update. That brilliant food tour from 2020 might be completely different today! Guides change. Standards shift. We check reviews regularly and remove tours that no longer deliver. No hesitation!
We maintain complete editorial independence. Tour companies can’t buy their way onto our site (several have asked—we’ve declined!). If a tour doesn’t genuinely deliver, it doesn’t get featured. Simple as that.
Join the Journey!
The reimagined Eat Drink Travel represents everything we learned in over a decade of travel journalism, combined with our genuine passion for food, culture, and those magical moments when you taste something so good you close your eyes and think, “Yes! This is exactly why I travel!“
