Travel Special: A Slow Life way of experiencing (East) Germany

Travelling has everything to do with immersing yourself into a foreign culture, meeting locals and encountering new traditions. Planning a trip off the beaten track that lets you do all this can be quite daunting sometimes, which is where Slow Travel company Cultourinaria can help. The company specialises in original cultural and culinary tours around Germany.

Set up by three women – all members of the Slow Food movement – who are keen to share their passion for giving travellers access to local culture, Cultourinaria aims to create relationships between human beings, history, tradition, presence and modernity. 

The tour program invites guests from Germany, the United States and everywhere else in the world to get together and to share the pleasure of top-quality classical concerts in Berlin, Potsdam, Saxony and Thuringia as well as fine contemporary German cuisine.

The company deliberately encourages international encounters and dialogue and believes travelling means to savor with your hearts, with eyes & ears, with noses & taste buds – at every step on your journey.

Cultourinaria not only offers classical concert tours but also trips to traditional German Christmas markets and “German Cuisine & Cooking” tours, which offer a huge variety of (East) German cuisine with its local specialties as well as a broad spectrum of cuisine related activities: cooking classes with professional chefs of high reputation, tastings, fresh produce market visits, food manufacture visits, excursions to local sustainable farmers, grocery stores & shops with international and German products, German culinary lifestyle and much more.

If you don’t feel like travelling in a group, then individual packages are also an option.
