Description

Discover St. Maarten's flavors with wine and cheese pairings, a brewery visit with beer tasting, a delicious tapas platter with cocktail, then head to Maho Beach on this guided foodie tour.
Meet your guide in the front of your hotel or at the EDC bus parking area for cruise ship passengers. Settle into your air-conditioned minivan and begin your culinary journey of St. Maarten.

Along the way, your guide shares stories about the island’s history and culture, adding a sightseeing element to your St. Maarten tasting tour.

Begin with a wine and cheese tasting in Philipsburg, where you’ll sample five wines, each paired with cheese.

A sommelier introduces the pairings and explains how the wine and cheese work together. Compare each wine on its own and with its matching cheese, ask questions and find your favorite combination. You don’t need any wine knowledge to enjoy the tasting.

Next, switch from wine to beer with a tasting of five beers. A guided brewery visit introduces the brewing process, giving you some background on what goes into your glass.

Compare the aromas and flavors of the samples as you work through the selection. This stop brings another side of St. Maarten’s food and drink scene into the tour.

Settle in for a combination platter of tapas shared between two people, with one cocktail included for each guest. Experience the vibrant fusion of Caribbean and global culinary influences that St. Maarten is famous for.

This is the final food stop, with time to digest or perhaps eat something more before continuing with your preferred afternoon plans.

Choose between visiting the world-famous Maho Beach where aircraft fly right above your head as they approach the airport. Besides enjoying the beach and taking amazing photos, you can also visit Maho Village for shopping or gambling at the casino.

Alternatively, you can choose to skip Maho Beach and stay in Philipsburg for shopping and enjoying Great Bay beach. Let your guide know your preference so you can confirm the meeting point and return arrangements before setting off on your own.
