Travel With Taste
Tours - Putting the Spirit in the
Season
 Victoria,
BC Award-winning Vancouver Island food
writer, Elizabeth Levinson, and culinary
tourism specialist, Kathy McAree, are
putting the spirit in the season with
indulgent weekend getaways. "Wine
and Dine, Shop and Indulge" gastronomic
getaways are designed for women with a
passion for cuisine and a desire to make
Christmas shopping tasty and
fun.
The weekend's
highlights include dining at the chef's
table at Levinson and McAree's favorite
Victoria restaurant, seeking out
incredible culinary finds at Victoria's
greatest cuisine and wine specialty shops
with the assistance of the very
knowledgeable proprietors, and making
holiday stöllen with organic baker
(and Slow Food poster boy) Cliff
Leir.
Women travelers will
find their accommodations elegantly casual
at Levinson's Victoria bed and
breakfast. Just a few blocks from
Victoria's busy Inner Harbour, the
historic John Lewis House is home away
from home from Friday to Sunday. As
particular about her thread count as she
is passionate about organically-grown food
and produce, Levinson's well-appointed
rooms have plush duvets, fluffy robes,
chocolates from a local chocolatier (whom
you'll meet) and Port by the
bedside. A European continental
breakfast is served each morning in the
solarium including house-made granola and
freshly squeezed juices.
McAree has been blazing
the culinary trail on Vancouver Island
with Travel With Taste Tours and knows
well all the great characters that create
the hot cuisine scene in and around
Victoria. Visit her website
www.travelwithtaste.com for more
information on day tours, culinary
weekends and multi-day tours that include
cuisine and wine tours, cooking classes,
chef demonstrations and farm visits.
The Ultimate Girls Weekend starts at just
$699 CAD per person based on double
occupancy. For information on
