From Lisbon ice cream tastings to tea ceremonies in Kyoto. 

Food travel is on the rise. More and more travelers are organizing their adventures around eating and drinking, which has become its own genre of sightseeing. And now, it's super easy to book local food experiences around the globe through sites and apps that offer tours, tastings, and cooking classes.

To celebrate their 10th anniversary, Airbnb gathered data on the top 50 booked Experiences on the platform to find the ten most popular food-focused ones—and shared them with Food & Wine. From sushi-making classes to tapas crawls, the activities on the list should appeal to anybody who travels because they love snacks and drinks.
