Take a culinary adventure in 2015

By Stephanie Dickison It's finally getting warm and sunny out. Want an excuse to get outside? Head out on a food tour or culinary adventure - you get a good walk (or paddle) in, discover great eateries, providers and producers, and you can get to nibble and nosh along the way. Win-win. Here are three fabulous places to start:

• Chowbella Taste & Travel Covering Toronto, Niagara wine country, Prince Edward County, and Stratford is just the start of customized culinary trips.  Whether you dream of being a cheesemaker or want to forage for mushrooms in an ancient forest, Chowbella makes it happen.If you're looking for something a little less daunting, head out for one of the Saturday food tours such as the insanly popular West Queen West/King West Signature Tour.
