A Taste of Newfoundland

Sunday September 12 – Thursday September 16, 2021

The vibrant culture of Newfoundland is unlike that of any other place in Canada. This four-night, five-day tour in and around the capital of St. John’s showcases the unique food, culture and fun this part of our country has to offer. "The Rock” is Canada’s youngest province, St. John’s the oldest city in North America, and home to the friendliest people you’ll meet! 

St. John’s is recognized as Canada’s “go to” food destination by chefs, The Globe and Mail and is home to three of the Top 10 restaurants in Canada, awarded by EnRoute Magazine. We’ll have meals with a Newfoundland focus including our farewell dinner at a top restaurant in St. John’s paired with wines and you’ll experience the amazing food being created by these chefs.  

This is an exclusive itinerary, limited to 15 people.  There is a blend of guided activities and free time to relax and explore on your own. The customized nature of this trip means that when you come on the “Taste of Newfoundland” you can be sure you will have a unique experience and great stories to share.  

At the end of this tour participants are welcome to join the Maritime Medley tour that begins September 16 in Fredericton, NB..
