Curso de cata y maridaje

Course on tasting and combining

In relation to gastronomy. Do we have any funky way saying this?

Many thanks for your suggestions

Explanation:
maridaje would be wine and food matching. In Spanish you usually find a lot of classes or events called **cata y maridaje**, but I looked and in English found either wine tasting or wine matching. I propose wine tasting and matching

agree  Sheilann: Keep to the point. I don't think aenologists would take to funky in the translation.

neutral  Elizabeth Lyons: The asker said funky and she didn't say anything about wine tasting in the question, just gastronomy. Who are we to tell her what she means?

Explanation:
If I understood this correctly; do you have a bit more context?

This looks similar to the concept of culinary Fusion (mixing two cultural standards, like Thai Lemongrass Pizza) so you could also say Fusion Foray.

Since you didn\'t indicate wine in this, and since you said \"funky\" I would still stick to this last one, Fusion Foray. Otherwise, if you wanted something more pedestrian, it could simple be taste tour, but, not particularly original :)
