International Chefs and Food Influencer Tour

Wisconsin food processors, commodity associations and organizations are invited to partner with DATCP to support a week-long tour showcasing the best of the state's food industry for a group of international chefs and food influencers. We are seeking corporate support for activities (Lodging, meals, travel, and event expenses, etc) scheduled throughout the state that feature food and products unique to Wisconsin. The tour will take place August 12th-19th with stops on Madison, Milwaukee, Sheboygan/Kohler, Green Bay, and Viroqua/La Crosse. Invited chefs and food influencers hail from Algeria, Argentina, El Salvador, Kenya, Kuwait, Mexico, the Philippines, Qatar, South Africa, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates. This opportunity is coordinated by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (WDATCP)/USDA Foreign Agriculture Service in tandem with the Wisconsin Department of Tourism and the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
