Food Technology School Trips

Why arrange a food technology school trip?

Perhaps you want your students to explore a certain cuisine?

What better way to learn about Italian food than by heading to Naples and Sorrento to see how gelato, mozzarella and pizza are made? Here, your students will discover that the fertile soil of this volcanic area means that the produce is incredible, and the local culinary traditions are simple, allowing the ingredients themselves to shine.

In France, your students will be able to visit traditional bakers, where they’ll discover how important the freshly baked baguette is in French culture. You can also visit chocolatiers, patisseries and fromageries, to find out why artisanal food is still an important element of French cuisine and food culture. 

Visit Paris, the chic capital for a great taste of French foodie culture, head to Normandy to learn more about the region’s incredible produce or take a short hop across the Channel to the Opal Coast where you can enjoy some hands-on foodie experiences.

And don’t miss out on the opportunity to visit a snail farm, where your students can taste escargot for themselves!

Or visit Brussels to explore the wonders of Belgian chocolate, waffles, fries and beer! You could even choose to compare and contrast the food traditions of France and Belgium with a trip to Bruges and Boulogne.

Head to Barcelona to find out about the cultural phenomenon that is tapas and learn more about various manufacturing processes. Your students will also have the chance to cook a traditional three-course meal.

In Dublin, your students can learn more about the processes of brewing and distilling, as well as find out more about how chocolate is made.

Meanwhile, trips to New York offer your students the opportunity to experience almost every world cuisine. A real melting pot, the city’s food scene is massively influenced by its history of immigration and the variety of food available here is simply mind-blowing.

Wherever you go and whichever visits and activities you choose to include, your food technology school trip will leave your students with a greater appreciation of the diversity of international cuisine.
