We are a community of passionate professionals dedicated to showcasing the flavors, stories, and cultures that define our regions through immersive food and drink experiences.

 

Our Mission

Our mission is to support and elevate culinary tourism by providing a platform for collaboration, education, advocacy, and innovation. We bring together the diverse voices that make up the culinary tourism landscape. From food tour guides and farm-to-table chefs to brewers, distillers, and destination marketers!

 

Our Offerings

We understand the unique challenges and opportunities in this field because we've lived them. Maybe you're guiding guests through vibrant markets or offering unforgettable tasting experiences. Perhaps you're curating culinary journeys that introduce people to place. No matter how you connect people with food, we're here to help you grow, connect, and thrive.
