Traveling for food has become more than just a trend—it’s now a powerful reason to pack your bags and explore. Culinary tourism is gaining fans across the world, with countless opportunities to enjoy unforgettable gastronomic experiences in Europe and beyond. On Reserving, we bring you the best of them—at the best prices. Book now and get ready to savour every bite.
From dining inside a volcano to dinner cruises under the stars, exploring the history of traditional pubs, or blending flamenco, food and wine—we offer gastronomic tours and foodie experiences for every taste.
Travel Used to Be Simple—Now, It Has Purpose
Not long ago, people traveled simply to relax—no “adjectives” needed. Holidays were about finding a good hotel (with a pool, maybe), and letting the sun and sea do the rest. But times have changed, and now we talk about rural tourism, sustainable tourism, adventure tourism... and, increasingly, gastronomic tourism.
That doesn’t mean your entire holiday has to revolve around eating and drinking (though that doesn’t sound bad either). It means food becomes a central part of the experience—an authentic way to explore a destination. Some trips are now planned around culinary routes and tasting experiences. And with Reserving, you’ll find great options for all budgets—plus exclusive last-minute deals.
What Is Gastronomic Tourism?
The definition is quite straightforward, but it’s best to quote the experts. According to the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), gastronomic tourism is “a type of tourism activity which is characterized by the visitor’s experience linked with food and related products and activities while traveling.” They emphasize that food is much more than just cooking—it reflects a region’s cultural heritage, community, and identity, helping to bring people and cultures closer together.
In short, travelling for food is about much more than satisfying your appetite—it’s about tasting the culture, traditions, and stories of the people who live there. Add in sightseeing, family activities, or even a bit of rest, and it becomes a perfect all-around holiday.
Looking for ideas? Head to Reserving, where we offer the best culinary getaways—always with great prices and discounts.
Best Food Tours in Spain
Let’s be honest: Spain’s culinary diversity makes every town and city a great foodie destination. So narrowing it down wasn’t easy. But here are a few standout experiences that will stir all your senses—not just your palate.
In Andalusia, food is almost a religion. Whether in big cities or small villages, you’ll be served authentic dishes made with love. Visit the González Byass wine cellars in Jerez, or enjoy a flamenco show with drinks and a scenic walk through the Albaicín district in Granada. Don’t miss the gastronomies of the Basque Country, Galicia, or Asturias—and if meat is your thing, try the famous steaks of Ávila, morteruelo and zarajos in Cuenca, or Aragonese lamb (ternasco).
The islands also offer delicious tours: from local specialties in Mallorca to tropical fusion cuisine in the Canary Islands. For a magical evening, dine inside a volcano at Jameos del Agua in Lanzarote.
Europe’s Top Culinary Destinations
If space is tight when talking about Spain, it’s almost impossible to cover all of Europe’s gastronomic treasures in one go. But here are a few you absolutely can’t miss.
Mediterranean flavors await in Greece, Italy, France, Portugal, and Turkey—the vibrant street food of Istanbul by night will leave you wanting more.
Germany and Croatia also serve up fantastic cuisine. In Split, try a traditional Dalmatian dinner with local wine. In Prague, you’ll enjoy hearty meals at great prices—top it off with a romantic dinner cruise along the river.
And remember: culinary discovery doesn’t stop after dessert. Nights are made for exploring, and Europe’s nightlife offers rich cultural stories too. We recommend one: a walking tour of Dublin’s Temple Bar to uncover the fascinating history of Irish pubs. Just make sure to book your hotel nearby with Reserving—the walk back can be a bit more “interesting.”
