England’s Best Pubs

Monday, July 27th, 2009

InnEngland – the website for finding the best pubs!

VisitEngland’s new InnEngland website (www.innengland.com) is the culmination of a national campaign to recognise one of England’s great cultural icons, the traditional English pub. Renowned worldwide for their welcome, diversity, history and now also for their food, the traditional pub is a must stop on most people’s British itineraries. The problem is, there are so many, which one do you visit? The new website offers recommendations, not only from the site administrators, but also from members of the public, who are invited to log on and add their favourite ‘locals’ to the list.

At Select Travel, our flexibility allows us to feature any of the recommended pubs in your group tour itinerary, or we can simply make recommendations of our own for that traditional pub experience. A pub dinner is a feature in most of our itineraries and for those who want to delve a little more into Britain’s pub culture, we’re happy to design itineraries that feature a selection of the best, along with visits to breweries, distilleries and other ‘cottage’ businesses producing the finest local foods and drinks.

Slow Food Festival Italy 2010

Sunday, February 8th, 2009

Slow Food is an organisation designed to counter the fast food culture. It promotes the preservation of local food traditions and to educate people on the role and value of getting to know their food.

The Salone del Gusto (Hall of Taste) will return to Turin in October 2010. This wonderful and huge celebration of food and wine is a “must see” for foodies and culinary professionals alike. Select Travel operates culinary and wine tours around Italy and other European nations. Restaurant owners, food wholesalers and the like are invited to contact us for further information on putting together their own group to attend the festival in Turin in October 2010.
