This year’s culinary tour is making its first pit stop in Tsuruoka, Japan.  It’s an ancient city located near the Sea of Japan, which in turn has an abundance of seafood waiting to take you on a culinary journey.  No need to travel to Japan, though, because Wilder and his culinary team have created a menu to mimic the tastes of Tsuruoka.

The summer promotion, in its 26th season, is a lot of fun because it features a wide variety of appetizers, entrees, desserts, cocktails, and regional beverages — changing it out every few weeks throughout the season.

Next stop: Down South.

First on the road map is the southern region of Italy, and will feature samples of two white wines, two reds, one premium red wine, and small food bites to keep your energy up along the way.

Tickets are $35 per person and you’ll want to make reservations online or by calling (520) 531-1913. Also, if you can’t make it to the first trip, check out the other dates.
