Best vegan food tours around the world

From 2014 to 2017, the United States alone saw a whopping 500-percent increase in people identifying as vegan — and this isn’t counting the growing number of vegetarians, flexitarians, and “reducetarians” (those trying to reduce meat consumption). Based on a mix of insider recommendations, personal experience, and reviews, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best vegan food tours around the world. Most vegans know that many traditional Thai dishes are already plant-based, and this tour, hosted by Intrepid Travel, takes full advantage. This nine-day vegan food tour is for the adventurous; guests eat their way through Kanchanaburi, Bangkok, Ayutthaya, and Chiang Mai, where they experience a homestay in a small Thai village. “I love leading these tours because it gives folks an intimate, insider perspective on the regions we visit, including local vegan cuisine that most people aren’t even aware of,” Schinner told T+L. “Italy is rich in cucina povera, or peasant cuisine, which is mostly veggie, legume, and grain based, but you won’t find those dishes on most restaurant menus. “We visit the Taj Mahal and other major cultural highlights in the region, but mix these sites in with things like cooking classes, meeting local vendors at markets, and making soy (or almond) milk chai on the street,” Coletta tells us. Guests will enjoy local street art and downtown hipsterdom as they visit five restaurants and sample 13 delicious vegan dishes, from Indian food to doughnut ice cream sandwiches. “Whether you’re vegan or not, this tour highlights amazing restaurants tapping into the growing food trend.” You’ll leave more than full and feel you got to see a side of Vegas usually only locals know. The eight-day Lemosho climb or seven-day Machame trek are the most popular tours, and both accommodate vegans, not with trail mix as an afterthought but with a full menu of traditional Tanzanian food,such as vegetable stew with mashed potatoes and chips, chapati, and East African peanut soup. Even better, the company states a commitment to ensuring its tours all promote social, economic,andenvironmental sustainability, giving back to the community by building classrooms and otherwise supporting the local economy.
