Combining culinary interests with walking tours, sampling tours have become a popular tourist activity in New Orleans, Seattle, and New York, among other cities. In the city where Creole cuisine – proclaimed to be the country’s only true regional cuisine – originated, New Orleans Culinary History Tours (www.noculinarytours.com) offers daily walking tours.

Seattle’s beauty can be explored not only by land and sea but also by sky. Today we are taking off in a seaplane to see Seattle from above. We’re in the plane and ready for take off. This is amazing, we’re flying over Lake Union. Oh, the bridge. How about that view. It’s actually very nice to see Seattle from up top.

Not far out of Seattle, there is so much to see and do, so today, we headed out of the city to experience Snoqualmie Falls and the wine region. Well, Washington Wine, we’re the second largest producer in the United States, and where we’re at in Woodinville, there’s approximately 110 tasting rooms. At the first winery, we’re trying five different wines, and I think number four is my favorite so far.

The water is such an important part of Seattle, and today we’re gonna experience it firsthand on a Locks cruise. We’ve set off from the dock and the tour kicks off here on Lake Union. There’s all these different boats around us. You can look up onto the hills and see the houses and the water. I mean, it’s beautiful. We’re sailing past the floating homes, which are literally homes sitting on the water. It is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. We’re about to enter the Ballard Locks. These locks separate the salt water from the fresh water.
