Be among the first to immerse yourself in the real flavor of Cuban culture on Access Trips’ brand new eight-day Cuba Culinary Tour. The boutique tour operator is pioneering culinary travel to 2015’s hottest destination through this ground-breaking people-to-people educational exchange tour. You’ll get unparalleled insider access to the Cuban food scene with exclusive cooking classes and meals at Cuba’s finest paladares (private restaurants), visits to organic farms and local mrkets, and even a daiquiri making course with the 39-year veteran mixologist from El Floridita, the birthplace of the daiquiri and Hemingway’s favorite haunt.
Outside the kitchen, you’ll ride retro style in a ’57 Chevy as you explore vibrant Havana, the peaceful Viñales Valley and colonial Trinidad, where you may forget it’s the 21st century – all UNSECO World Heritage Sites. Along the way, you’ll enjoy opportunities to meet with locals, as you take a private salsa class, stroll the colonial plazas of Old Havana and drink the perfect daiquiri while enjoying Cuba’s legendary music.
From afternoons spent with a third generation tobacco farmer learning how he makes famed organic Cohiba cigars to meetings with workers at a sugar cane plantation and small rum factory, Access Trips leaves nothing out. Indulge in a honey-dipped cigar firsthand, visit local homes and handicraft markets, and of course, cook and taste your way into the heart of Cuba’s rich culture.
Access Trips’ new eight-day Cuba Culinary tour is now available for bookings, with the first people-to-people tour set for October 2015. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience unfiltered insider access during a pivotal moment in Cuban history.
