We are planning a trip to Punta Cana in December. We are very interested in local food culture and agriculture. However, I can't seem to find any information regarding any food tourism (ex: visit a market with a chef, buy food and prepare something local; culinary school day class) or agritourism (ex: stay and help and eat on a diversified farm for a day).
When we were there recently, we went on a safari with Bavaro Runners where we visited a sugarcane museum as well as visited Dona Maria's house and farm in the El Bonao area. Though this was really fun, I would have spent more time on the farm in order to have a more authentic experience; it sometimes felt during the day that we were being trucked from location to location in order to pack the most into our day as possible. I love travel writing centered around food and would love to be able to experience DR's food beyond the resort.
Does anyone know of anything available?
