The pandemic may have limited our physical travel options but you can still take a culinary Tour of the Mediterranean... with TD and Laubach Literacy NB. Thanks to the magnificent, culinary offerings prepared by NBCC Moncton, you and your taste-buds will be transported to the Mediterranean. TICKET All ticket prices are based on 'double occupancy', and are sold in sets of 2 (so 4, 6, 8 etc.) In special circumstances we can make exceptions so we ask that you contact your "tour director" at info@llnb.ca to ask about alternate configurations. (click here to buy your tickets online today) ITINERARY Once you have purchased your ticket, you will be able to customize your Itinerary choosing for instance your preference of red or white wine, and which of three main courses you would like. Please make our 'crew' aware of any food allergies or dietary preferences which may impact your trip as we want you ensure your tour comfort. Your itinerary will also include the details for a number of FREE Excursions in days leading up to the main event. These online, digital experiences will help acquaint you with the Mediterranean, its history, art and cuisine. All excursion participants will be entered into a draw to be held at the end of each online event. Check our Facebook page for more details. |
BOARDING PASS
On November 19th, you take your Boarding Pass to NBCC Moncton to pick up your 'baggage' - your catered meals and event kit, that is. You will receive specially chosen dishes for all five stops on our culinary tour. (Baggage delivery is available for a small fee.)
In addition you will receive recipe cards coinciding with each dish, a cocktail guide for the region, individual postcards from each country (send to your friends), an apron for each guest and a travel guide to further enhance your tour. Most importantly you will receive the coordinates for your embarkation - your starting point where we will meet virtually to prepare and plate the foods together. (Put on your new apron as we are going to ZOOM from our kitchen to yours!)
THE TOUR
We will be stopping in five countries during our culinary tour. You can prepare ahead of time by watching short instructional videos on how to prepare/plate your courses or, you if you like to be spontaneous, wait for the live event where together we will share:
ENTERTAINMENT
Between courses we will be joined by special guests who will share with us some history or trivia of the region. While we wait for our tea to steep after dinner, we will hear about the impact of literacy on the life of our guest speaker (tbd). Of course no tour is complete without a visit to GALLERIA for some shopping - we invite you to peruse our silent auction, hosted on 32auctions.com. The auction closes on Saturday, November 21st at 11:59 pm so check back frequently - you don't want to be outbid!
ALTERNATE TOUR DATES:
For those who are unable to join us live on Thursday night, you can prepare and plate your meal while watching the recorded event on either Friday or Saturday night. And remember, for our late departures, the auction will be open until Saturday at 11:59 PM.
