Avery Island, home of TABASCO® Pepper Sauce, is also home to a 170-acre botanical treasure known as Jungle Gardens! Take a self-guided tour through southern Louisiana marshes and bayous inhabited by indigenous wildlife. Visitors can walk, bike, hike or drive the 3-mile garden trail with multiple stops to view alligators, a White Egret rookery, live oak gardens and more!

You probably came to see the Tabasco factory, but the Jungle Gardens is the real star of the show. The layout is informal and welcoming. The overall result is wondrous. Big oaks, bamboo stands, herons, Spanish moss, gators and waterways blend together in an amazing tapestry. The round trip is about 3 miles and can be done by walking or by car. We drove and with numerous stops it was about a relaxing 45 minutes. I would like to do a walk-around next time.

Eat like the locals and taste the Southern culture! Food is one of the greatest ways to sample an area’s culture. In our Culinary Course, participants are able to get a feel for what Louisiana and TABASCO® Pepper Sauce are all about. Our course instructors are knowledgeable about our area’s history, and are able to connect that history to the food as you sample 6 local tastings from the Acadiana Region, along with a TABASCO® Bloody Mary flight and TABASCO® mash tasting. Learning is best when it encompasses all of your senses and our unique course setup will gain an authentic local experience.
