Food Network Travel to Italy, France and California

1004

Food Network’s travel programming has brought Italy, France, and California to life for food lovers around the world. These three destinations represent some of the most extraordinary culinary traditions on Earth — and they are all on the wish list of travelers who love to eat as much as they love to explore.

Italy: Where Every Meal is a Celebration

Italian cuisine is defined by its extraordinary regional diversity. From the rich ragù of Bologna to the fresh seafood of Sicily, the wood-fired pizzas of Naples to the risottos of Milan — Italy’s food culture is a journey in itself. Food Network travel programming has long celebrated Italy as the ultimate culinary destination, and Atlas Travel Center’s advisors agree: a food-focused tour of Italy belongs on every serious traveler’s bucket list.

France: The Foundation of Western Cuisine

French cuisine has defined the standards of Western cooking for centuries. Burgundy’s legendary wine country, Provence’s market-fresh cuisine, Paris’s world-class bistros, and Lyon’s celebrated bouchons all offer food experiences that cannot be replicated anywhere else. Food Network’s French travel programming captures why this country remains the gold standard of culinary travel.

California: America’s Most Innovative Food Destination

California has emerged as one of the world’s most exciting food destinations — Napa Valley’s world-class wine country, San Francisco’s boundary-pushing restaurant scene, Los Angeles’s extraordinary diversity of cuisines, and the farm-to-table movement that California pioneered. Food Network’s California travel content celebrates why this state is a must for culinary travelers.

Atlas Travel Center has been helping travelers plan food-focused tours to Italy, France, California, and culinary destinations worldwide since 1987. Contact our experienced advisors to plan your perfect culinary travel experience.
