The Success of ‘Taste the Kattegattleden’ Continues in 2023
The popular ‘Taste the Kattegattleden’ event is being organized for the fifth consecutive year. This year, twelve unique tours with different themes and taste experiences are offered along the Kattegattleden cycling route. The tours are conducted in collaboration between local organizers and food and culture entrepreneurs.
Several tours have already taken place during spring and early summer, with high interest from participants. While many tours have been fully booked, there are still opportunities to join some of the unique tours scheduled for July, August, and September.
Local Flavors and Cycling Adventures
Destination Apelviken, a recurring participant, organizes the ‘Cycle Flavors in Varberg’ tour. Edvard Wiberg from Destination Apelviken explains the event’s popularity:
“I think the reason why it is such a popular event is a combination of different factors. First and foremost, it’s the simplicity of cycling along beautiful views at your own pace and with your own, pleasant company. Then we have a fantastic collaboration with some of the absolute best restaurateurs and service people in the municipality, which makes the taste experience at each stop something out of the ordinary.”
A newcomer to the event is Pernilla Lindeberg, who organizes the ‘Gourmet Pedal Kattegattleden’ tour. Starting from Helsingborg, the tour takes participants along scenic cycle paths with delightful taste stops along the coast to Viken.
“Working with local producers who are passionate about their production and everyday life is delightful. We have lots of dedicated manufacturers in Skåne,” says Pernilla Lindberg.
