EDITOR ’ S NOTE
Chef , author and teacher James Beard once said , “ Food is our common ground , a universal experience .”
And these words couldn ’ t hold more truth , especially when it comes to the travel industry . There are all types of travelers in this world — those who enjoy adventurous journeys and others who appreciate complete relaxation . But no matter what type of travel is preferred , there ’ s one thing that shows up in each and every itinerary : food .
When visiting a new place , most travelers aim to immerse themselves in the culture and history of the destination , and a huge part of this is discovering the cuisine . Gastronomy plays such a vast role in any journey , and joining together for a meal with either travel companions or new friends is sometimes when the best memories are made . It ’ s revitalizing to not only discover and take part in new traditions during travel but also to take a piece of them back home to share with friends and family .
In this issue , we explore a variety of culinary experiences your clients may be in search of . You ’ ll learn all about Lima , Peru , one of the world ’ s top culinary destinations , three unique food-focused museums and even a resort that is taking the all-inclusive gastronomy concept to the next level . We all know every tasty food experience isn ’ t complete without a drink of choice , so this issue also highlights a few beverages . You ’ ll journey through a handful of under-the-radar wineries and learn all about the new sober curious travel trend .
