GEORGE BROWN COLLEGE | TORONTO, ON | JUNE 27-28, 2023

What is Taste of Place?

Memorable experiences that bring to life the story behind the food and drink of a specific geographic area, i.e. its foodways. The natural, material, and intangible elements, such as hospitality, that contribute to the experience of food and drink in an area also part of its taste of place. There is no singular ‘taste of place’ for a region - instead, each destination should be seen as a rich tapestry of tastes that woven together, are its unique taste of place.

About the Summit

Presented by the Culinary Tourism Alliance in partnership with George Brown College, the Taste of Place Summit is the global summit where destination and economic developers, managers, thought leaders and marketers meet to build their tastes of place, unlocking the positive power of growing culinary tourism.

We have a shared vision to provide destinations and business operators with tools and resources to ensure they are creating meaningful and sustainable taste of place experiences.
