So, you consider yourself a foodie. But are you an adventurous foodie? You haven't really taken the plunge into becoming a full-fledged gastronome until you've traveled to some far off destination with stories about how you hand-picked coffee berries straight from the tree in Costa Rica.
Rather than read about it in the latest Whole Foods newsletter, why not learn about it first-hand with the new Whole Foods travel program known as Whole Journeys. The program launches with a series of 12 vacation packages later this year starting in April with a trip to a Turkish food festival, followed by an epicurean biking tour in Italy during May to June, and ending with a wine festival in the Swiss Alps with departure dates in late summer and early fall. For those who want an adventure a little closer to home, there's even a gourmet rafting trip in Idaho featuring regional recipes and local products including microbrews from the area in August.
