OAKVILLE BEAVER Thursday, July 30, 2009 · 54 Discover your new favourite destination! BON VIVANT ­ LIVING THE GOOD LIFE A bon vivant is defined as a person devoted to refined, sensuous enjoyment, especially with respect to food and drink, and also a good fellow, a jovial companion, and a free-spirited person. McTavish Travel in conjunction with Ensemble Travel Group is pleased to launch the Bon Vivant series, a collection of t travel packages that take you beyond the main attractions, allowing for a more authentic experience of what lies at a destination's heart: its food and wine. For many travellers, the memories of museums, art galleries and cathedrals eventually fade, but what does remain are those impressions of a culture's intrinsic nature: glimpses of everyday life, the markets, exotic aromas from unique ingredients, walking among the vineyards, spending the afternoon cooking at a local kitchen and then enjoying the fruits of your labour. Or perhaps it is the opportunity to learn from world-renowned chefs the secret to making the perfect sauce, or how to select the ideal wine to complement a gourmet feast. Our Bon Vivant booklet is intended to inspire you to go beyond the everyday and to explore and celebrate the culinary delights of your journeys to foreign lands. Start your journey now by finding out what kind of a bon vivant you are. Visit our website at www.bonvivanttravel.ca - take our quiz and determine the travel personality that best defines your style. You'll also have a chance to win a delectable trip to Spain, courtesy of Transat Holidays! For your personal copy of our Bon Vivant booklet, t give us a call!
