Home to the beautiful, historic city of York, 6 Michelin Star restaurants, pretty little market towns and a rugged coastline, the diversity of Yorkshire’s landscape is reflected in its range of sumptuous local foods and drink.

From the creamiest ice creams to the crumbliest cheeses, this northern region of England is known for some of the best dairy in Great Britain, available for tastings at working creameries, dairy farms and unique specialist cheese shops. Those with a sweet tooth will delight at locally made curd tarts; parkin (a type of ginger cake); and the unique Pontefract cakes—small circular black cakes made of licorice. To unwrap the secrets of chocolate, a staple of York’s economy for hundreds of years, and learn how it’s made, visitors young and old can explore York’s Chocolate Story. And beer lovers can find historic breweries serving mystic brews frothing in antique stone 'squares', to micro breweries with state-of-the-art stainless steel. Yorkshire brewers are busily producing hundreds of varieties of real ale for your clients to enjoy.  Your clients can relax in a cozy gastropub or visit a craft brewery for a tour and tasting, including the vegetarian Brew York.

History comes alive in York, originally founded by the Romans and once the capital of Viking territory. Today, the city's well-preserved medieval city center encompasses the iconic York Minster Cathedral, the 13^th-century Cliffords Tower and the picturesque streets and buildings of The Shambles. Nearby Malton is known as the “food capital” of Yorkshire, home of the Malton Cookery School, artistan producers, a food market, food festivals and a range of restaurants, cafes and shops. In the famous spa town of Harrogate, visitors can enjoy tea at the original Bettys Tea Room and a hands-on classe at the award-winning Bettys Cookery School. For a coastal excursion, clients can visit the seaside town of Whitby, known across Britain as the fish and chips capital of the world.
