For culinary tourist guides of all types, including food tourist guides, wine tourist guides, beer tourist guides, distillery tourist guides, food/beverage manufacturing tourist guides, and similar roles. Tour directors and tour managers are also eligible to apply.
As the number of culinary tour companies grows, so does the demand for culinary tourist guides. There is a wide range of talent among culinary guides. Some guides have been professionally trained, while many others have not. Some guides have great personalities, but limited knowledge of the local culinary culture, which is a disservice to their customers. This masterclass is designed to train to a consistent level, with the end goal of delivering a high-quality culinary tour with the highest chance of receiving the highest ratings from customers.
Learn why you need to deliver a memory, and not just a meal to your customers, both visitors and locals.
You will need to provide two letters of recommendation from the industry (vendors you work with, tourism office, or companies that employ you as a guide, etc.) If you are applying through one of our partners, you do not need any letters of recommendation.
A copy of your currently valid tourist guide license. If your area does not require a tourist guide license, then you will need to explain why. If you are applying through one of our partners, please contact us for the correct documents needed for your situation.
The training is relevant for professional tourist guides, tour directors, or tour managers. You need to have been operating for at least one year.
We invite you to visit GastroTerra, the world's largest community of like-minded professionals who want to connect, explore, share, and get inspired about the latest developments in food and beverage tourism.
Once enrolled, you’ll have 45 calendar days to complete the certification itself. Extensions may be purchased for €50 per additional 30 days, up to a maximum of 150 extra days. That said, your access to the content itself never expires.

" I very much enjoyed the certification program. There were many things I had not considered. Now I will be a better tour leader. "
by Tatiana R. from Toronto, Canada.
"Having been in the industry while, it was time to sharpen my tools and get a better understanding of the food and wine traveler and what they look for. What I got with the WFTA certification program was way more than what I expected. And while I have experience with culinary travelers, having a certification meant a lot to me. The WFTA’s international reputation, as well as my business listing on the marketplace after I graduated, sealed the deal for me."
by Biagio T. from USA & Italy
" Excellent content, very helpful advisor. Well-organized program with quality materials. Some things were new to me as well, like how Americans and Europeans have different profiles. Highly recommended."
by Mary F. from Dublin, Ireland.
