Four Great Culinary Vacations

It doesn't matter iftravaasa hana net throw you love or hate the term "foodie." Food-centric vacations are here to stay, and even the nonculinarily inclined can enjoy these four great vacations that put food at the center of all the fun without sacrificing the destination or the hotel experience.
The Brown Palace Hotel & Spa - Rooftop Bee Workshop
Hosted by the property's own beekeeper, guests learn the ins and outs of tending bees so they can implement hives at their own homes. Guests receive an arrival amenity consisting of all of the bounty from the Brown's rooftop bee hives; including: Honey Lavender Soap, spa treatments featuring the honey, even a beer created in collaboration with a local brewery.
Four Seasons Resort Whistler - Chef-Led Farmers Market Bicycle Tour
The executive chef at the property personally leads bicycle farmer's market tours from the resort's front door. Following the farmer's market, guests return to the property for a cooking lesson (with the market's fresh bounty), and a gourmet meal at the chef's table. Guests learn how to pick the best produce and learn cooking skills that they'll be able to use in their own kitchens when they return home.
Travaasa Hana - Traditional Hawaiian Net Throw
Traditionally passed down through generations of native Hawaiians down from father to son, guests learn the art of catching fish with Hawaiian nets, then return to the property for a lesson on preparing the fish and cooking it. (Picture shown above).
Four Seasons Resort Vail - Mushrooms & Mercedes Expedition
Four Seasons Vail has partnered with Larry Evans, a renowned mushroom forager (who knew there even was such a thing) to offer guests a unique day trip to hunt for mushrooms and cook and enjoy a gourmet dinner upon return to the property. Evans gives guests an overview of what types of mushrooms to hunt for, what to avoid, and how to property pick and clean mushrooms. The highlight of the experience for most attendees is when the group reconvenes in the kitchen of Flame, the signature restaurant.
