taste toast travel
A podcast and community for the aspirational traveler with a taste for culture, travel, and exploration.
Welcome to Taste Toast TraveL
At Taste Toast Travel, we explore the world through food, wine, and cultural storytelling. From sipping Chianti in Tuscany to uncovering the hidden history of tapas in Spain, we believe every dish tells a story—and every glass has a place it came from.
Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or an armchair adventurer, our mission is to bring the joy of global culture right to your earbuds (and your couch).
We’re Tara and John, a California-based couple who live for good food, good wine, and discovering the stories that bring the world to life. Through our travels (and plenty of time spent daydreaming between trips), we’ve learned that culture isn’t just found in faraway places—it’s in the meals we share, the traditions we toast, and the people we meet along the way.
Whether we’re sipping one of our favorite cocktails, exploring haunted castles in Ireland, or recreating tapas night from our kitchen, we’re here to bring you a taste of the world—no passport required.
A podcast for the curious traveler at heart.
Exploring the world through food, drink, and culture—one story at a time.
Ever had a drink that sparked a memory? Traveled to a place that changed your perspective? Ate a dish you still can't get out of your mind? Us, too. If you can relate, this podcast is for you. We’re here to share those stories, toast to the unexpected, and relish on all things eating, drinking, and traveling to parts familiar and unknown.
Whether you're toasting with us from the comfort of your kitchen or tuning in on your next adventure or daily commute, grab your favorite beverage and a seat at our table. Let's explore the world together, one bite, sip, and journey at a time!
