Experience China’s cultural heartland as expressed through fiery Sichuan cuisine – China’s tastiest regional cuisine and possibly the world’s most varied for ingredients. Our unique culinary adventure includes visits to speciality food venues and restaurants, side-trips to various exotic food-associated rural villages, and practical instruction by chef at the funky courtyard restaurant in a village run like farmers’ cooperative. We also enjoy Sichuan’s long association with tea in tea estates located in the mountains where tea was first discovered, where we learn the fine techniques in the cultivation, preparation, and drinking of tea.
