An enlightening day of food, art, culture and history embraced the members of Ibis Country Club on the Taste History Culinary Tour of Historic Delray Beach & Boynton Beach.
This cultural culinary tour introduced them to Florida's more than 500 years of history, the Spaniard explorers, the early settlers who came from Michigan, Pennsylvania, the island of the Bahamas and Germany; and travels through an art district in Boynton Beach and historic neighborhoods in Delray Beach. Ibis Country Club members met local artists, chefs and tasted more than 20 cuisines.
Some of the tour's highlights were Palermo's Bakery, Hurricane Alley Raw Bar & Restaurant, City of Boynton Beach Avenue of the Arts, Shaffer's Tea Room (aka Goodwater Tea), Le Macaron French Pastries Shop, Marianne Gourmet Shop, Art-Sea Living Gallery and the historic 1904 St. Paul's Episcopal Church.
