Members of the Wycliffe Country Club of Wellington, Florida were hosted on the non-profit Taste History Culinary Tour of Historic Delray Beach & Boynton Beach. The chief theme for this epicurean tour was nature views and nature foods with a garden tour and tastings at the Sundy House in Delray Beach, Florida.
The Sundy House is located in the former private residence of John Shaw Sundy who was the first Mayor of Delray Beach when Delray Beach incorporated in 1911. Mr. Sundy arrived to Florida in 1899 from North Carolina because he was employed as a supertindent on oil magnate Henry Flagler's Florida East Coast Railway (F.E.C).
In the 1990s the property became the current Sundy House restaurant with a boutique hotel that includes views of the property's Taru Gardens.
The Wycliffe members were also introduced to Bahamian cuisine at Dee Dee's Conch & Rib Shack in Delray Beach and Bahamian culture at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church which was established by black Bahamian settlers to Delray Beach, Florida. Taste History included a trip to the Organic Tea Bar, and then to the new Art House of Delray for a tour and cupcakes by Shea's Bakery. The culinary tour later journeyed to Boynton Beach for food tastings at The Little House restaurant. The food finale was a visit to the urban farm in Downtown Boynton Beach and tastings at the Secret Garden Cafe which is a farm-to-table eatery. The members were also led on a guided walking tour of the Avenue of the Arts for a view of the kinetic art sculptures in Downtown Boynton Beach, Florida.
