Culinary Tour of Turkey

Explore the delicious side of TurkeyAward-winning Madison culinary travel guidebook author Joan Peterson has announced plans for another of her spectacular culinary tours of Turkey. The tour will be held August 17-25, 2011.

Explore the food and culture of this many-faceted land. Partake of the modern expression of ancient culinary traditions. Joan has led this trip many times before, and she knows where to look for the unexpected, the wondrous, the authentically delicious. Remember, that means that the group's hosts also know Joan -- and they roll out the red carpet for this returning, appreciative fan and her group!

Folks who have gone before say it the experience goes far beyond just finding some incredibly delicious things to eat, or pretty things to look at. It's a cultural journey.

In addition to food and wine activities, the tour will include an optional balloon ride over the Fairy Chimneys in Cappadocia, an exploration of the ruins of ancient civilizations along the Aegean, and visits to some of Turkey's historic landmarks.

The cost is $2,950 per person. To view the complete itinerary, visit http://www.eatsmartguides.com/tours.html.
