>> THE NEW TABASCO® EXPERIENCE
From the greenhouse to bottling, learn how the world-famous
TABASCO® brand pepper sauce is made. Then, sample some pep-
pered products and pick up one-of-a-kind souvenirs at the Tabasco
Country Store. tabasco.com/avery-island/visitor-information
>> VERMILIONVILLE
Experience the history and culture of the region at this nine-hectare
folk-life park along the banks of the Bayou Vermilion, where you can
explore Acadian, Creole and Native American cultures from 1765 to
1890. Enjoy guided tours, costumed artisans, live music, a cooking
school, dance lessons and boat tours. vermilionville.org
>> DINNER & DANCING
The only thing Cajun Country folks like more than eating is
dancing. So why not enjoy the best of both? Sample local flavours
at favourite restaurants like Pont Breaux's Cajun Restaurant,
Prejean's or Randol's and two-step around the dance floor to local
music. pontbreauxscajunrestaurant.com; prejeans.com; randols.com
