South Korea, for seafood, rice wine and street eats

How far would you go for great Korean food? If you don’t mind 10 days in this East Asian country, then you’ll have your fill of bibimbap and makgeolli. Start in the markets of Seoul, then work up an appetite for late-night street eats after karaoke. You’ll shed some calories on a cycling trip through Gyeongju, then chew them back when dining in a traditional hanok home. Taste the results of your own cooking class with a toast of rice wine, then visit South Korea’s largest seafood market to pick out whatever sea dweller you want on your plate.

Georgia, for bread and wine made the ancient way

If you’re feeling a bit peckish, perhaps a little wine and bread in Georgia will hold you over? The people in these parts know a thing or two about bread-baking and wine-making; their ancient practices are among the oldest in the world. You won’t need to pack any snacks, either. You’ll dive into traditional Georgian lunches in Tbilisi, a wonderful dinner in Stepantsminda and a masterclass culinary lesson using fresh ingredients from the country’s largest farmer’s market.
