Zingerman’s Food Tours 2027 Schedule Is Officially Released!
Sign up soon for the culinary adventure of a lifetime!
Feeling the urge for an exceptional new experience? Love to eat great food and sip great wine? Love to learn? Ready to do something special soon? Great news! We’ve just released the 2027 Zingerman’s Food Tours schedule. As always, it’s a diverse mix of destinations that are close to our hearts—places we’ve come to know well over the years and where we’ve built deep relationships—along with a couple of exciting new additions to the tour list: Turkey and Japan.
My friend Lisa Donovan, the chef, writer, and author of Our Lady of Perpetual Hunger, shared this about why she loves traveling so much:
I feel most comfortable when I’m in a space where I’m being challenged, learning something different and new, meeting people who have very different backgrounds and experiences than I do. … Travel makes me better, more understanding, more compassionate, more empathetic. It certainly inspires my work in food, and my writing.
My own experience has been much the same. I’ve learned so much over the years by heading to places far and wide. Learning about food, drink, and culture is, in my experience, a whole other thing when we’re actually there, immersed in it, than it is when we’re reading online or through books. Kristie Brablec, long-time Managing Partner at Food Tours, does exceptional work. She spends years thoughtfully curating each tour into a kind of “best of” experience for every delicious destination we visit. I recently got to experience a mini version of the remarkable work she’s done in Oaxaca and, I’ll tell you straight up, it was terrific. I’d head back in a heartbeat.
Kristie has this to say about the 2027 tour lineup:
Each year, our journeys are shaped by what we love most — extraordinary food, meaningful connections, and immersive experiences that take you beyond the guidebooks and into the heart of a place. The 2027 season is no exception. From bustling markets and countryside kitchens to shared tables with artisans, farmers, and chefs, these trips are designed for travelers who believe food is one of the best ways to understand the world.
Our 2027 collection features returning favorites you know and love, along with exciting new destinations we’ve been dreaming about for years. Whether you’re craving pasta in Italy, fermentation in Northern Europe, spice-filled streets in Oaxaca, or unforgettable meals across Asia, there’s an adventure waiting for you.
With all that said, here’s the 2027 schedule:

We encourage you to explore the full details and reserve early!” From talking with many people who’ve traveled with us, these tours are, quite literally, life-changing.
