Taste of newfoundland

Newfoundland’s isolation was the mother of all invention in this world of culinary delights. Today our traditional recipes are infused with fresh produce, quality ingredients and a presentation that nudges ‘Grandma’s Kitchen’ into the new world order. Pairings include an assortment of local beers, baked goods, wild berries, local fish and chocolates that will please even the most discerning palette.

We’ll visit a local micro-brewery to try an assortment of their award-winning beers and hear an interpretation of the origins. At the Newman’s Wine Vault we’ll try their famous Port, aged on the island since 1679 when pirates chased a shipment across the Atlantic for winter in Newfoundland. Port is best paired with chocolate; especially those from the ‘Newfoundland Chocolate Company’ whose love and passion goes into every gourmet batch. Next, we’ll visit a local heritage shop who will introduce us to a variety of Newfoundland’s wild berries and rum cakes. Finish the afternoon on George Street with an assortment of Newfoundland’s fresh fish.
