Eat the World: Istanbul

Istanbul sits between continents, and its food reflects centuries of movement, trade, and layered cultural exchange. Shared plates fill the table, herbs and yogurt soften spice, and meals stretch slowly from afternoon into evening along the Bosphorus.

This class explores Istanbul’s vibrant food culture through mezze, regional wines, breads, cheeses, spices, and dishes inspired by bustling markets and waterfront taverns. Expect layered flavors, shared-table dining, and a cuisine shaped by both Mediterranean and Middle Eastern traditions. Lively, aromatic, and endlessly layered.

Each Eat the World experience includes:

• A guided wine flight;
• Four paired small bites featuring regional cheeses, accoutrements, and familiar regional dishes;
• A rich, educational tour of the city’s culinary traditions led through immersive storytelling from our Wedgewood cheese and wine experts;
• Access to limited and seasonal wine and cheese selections curated specifically for the featured destination.
