25 Unmissable Food & Drink festivals by National Geographic Traveller Food

National Geographic Traveller Food urges all food lovers to get outdoors and indulge their culinary passions.

In the latest issue, distributed with the September issue of National Geographic Traveller, we select 25 of the world’s best food and drink festivals, from home-grown affairs such as the Isle of Wight Garlic Festival to celebrations of ingredients as diverse as oysters and octopus, chestnuts and chocolate, in destinations as far flung as Brazil, Barbados, Japan and Canada. If you’ve ever wanted to surround yourself with food, flair and enthusiasm, then plan your next trip to ensure you get both your food and travel fix.

Also in this issue, we explore Germany’s obsession with white asparagus, meet the Icelandic innovators embracing the island’s native ingredients, and dine with a farming family in Lazio, Italy. All this, plus guides to the food hotspots of Melbourne, Menorca and Mexico City.

In addition, expect thought-provoking features and easy-to-follow recipes from world-renowned contributors.
