6 Unbelievable Food Trips You Can Take With Airbnb
Why limit your vacation to landmarks and photo opps? There's plenty to get out and see — and, most importantly, eat — that's off the beaten path. In addition to renting out rooms (and entire houses), Airbnb recently started offering entire experiences, so you can truly live like a local.
Make Pasta In Florence
Instead of solely eating Italy's unparalleled pasta at restaurants, spend a day learning to craft it yourself using traditional family recipes in the heart of Florence. Of course there will also be plenty of wine along the way and dessert to end the afternoon on a sweet note.
Try Barcelona's Best Tapas
Prep for a full night of eating by sipping sparkling wine on a rooftop, then make your way through Barcelona's side streets to find more than 15 Catalan-style small plates — plus getting crash courses in throwing cider and carving Iberian Ham on the bone.
Make Ramen Like A Pro (Read: No Microwave Or Flavor Packets.)
Master the art of Tokyo ramen by building the broth from scratch, making perfectly medium-boiled eggs, and assembling all of the accoutrements. Your chef instructor will also help you mold crispy, juicy gyoza and while you sip on traditional Japanese tea.
Eat And Drink Your Way Through Miami
A local food blogger will introduce you to the best Peruvian, Cuban, and Venezuelan cuisine in the city — plus cocktails, like mojitos and pisco sours and desserts — over the course of three days.
Get A Firsthand Look At Seoul's Food Market
Get a close look at one of Korea's most famous charcoal barbecue restaurants, then make your way through the open-air Mangwon Market — all while sipping on cloudy rice beer and sampling traditional plates like hotteok (sweet pancakes with a syrupy filling), chapssal donuts (a fried glutinous rice donut), and dakgalbi (Korean stir-fry).
Hunt For Truffles Like You're Oprah And Gayle
Two years ago, Oprah crossed a huge milestone off her bucket list: Going truffle hunting in Italy. Now you can live la vida Winfrey (minus the whole being-a-billionaire part) with this two-day trip, where you'll join a certified truffle mushroom hunter — who has been digging up the beloved mushrooms all over Tuscany since childhood — on an exploration of the Truffle Trail and hands-on demonstration in the kitchen.
