Do you consider yourself a culinary tourist ? Culinary tourism is defined as the pursuit of unique and memorable culinary experiences of all kinds , often while travelling . Food inspires many of us to make destination choices . Dining out provides the opportunity to get to know local food and people ; what , when and where people eat and how that food is sourced offers insight to a region and its residents . With more people traveling to renowned food destinations , cities like Winnipeg will contribute to fond vacation memories .

This special travel issue of Ciao ! celebrates the relationship between food and travel . Expanded circulation reaching Grand Forks and Fargo is designed to encourage a visit north . Ciao ! travels reveals some great places to hike or bike on a short day trip outside the city . To help plan summer holidays a summer calendar of events and activities has been provided to enrich each day . Winnipeg ’ s diverse restaurant landscape is presented through the chefs featured in the kitchen and ciao ! cooks as well as our directory of the city ’ s bests . We went behind the scenes at the Exchange District hotspot , The Mitchell Block to see Chef Sean McKay at play . Recipes resulting from our afternoon with him appear on these pages - and on his menu . What ’ s more , Ciao ! editors have reviewed some of Winnipeg ’ s best dining destinations in top tables .
If you are planning a trip to Winnipeg or are a resident with visitors , we hope you enjoy the summer and its vibrant flavour .
