Culinary & Cultural Tours Abroad – A Culinary Society, Houston, TX
Let’s be honest—most travel experiences leave you wanting more. The food is good but not great. The sights are beautiful but predictable. You come home with pictures, not memories. At A Culinary Society, we do things differently.
We don’t just visit places—we taste, toast, and immerse ourselves in their stories. From the spice markets of Morocco to the vineyards of Italy, from Havana’s cigar lounges to the seafood kitchens of Spain, our tours are about connection—through food, culture, and community.
And here in Houston, a city already known for its bold flavors and international energy, we’re inviting you to take that same spirit and explore the world—one bite, one sip, one unforgettable moment at a time.
What Is a Culinary Society Tour?
A Culinary Society Tour isn’t about rushing through tourist checklists or snapping photos at landmarks. It’s about living the rhythm of a place—tasting its food, hearing its stories, and connecting with people who make every meal an experience.
Each tour is led by expert chefs, sommeliers, mixologists, and local storytellers who bring destinations to life. You might find yourself sipping Champagne in a hidden Parisian courtyard, learning to roll cigars in Cuba, or sharing paella in a centuries-old Spanish kitchen.
Our experiences are intimate and intentionally crafted for travelers who value authenticity, comfort, and cultural depth. Whether you’re exploring the Mediterranean, indulging in Caribbean cocktails, or discovering the culinary secrets of the South of France, every detail is designed to stir your senses.
