Win plane tickets to see glaciers and taste caviar in Montana!

By Li Xinyi, compiled and reported

If you hear someone mention caviar in Montana, located in the U.S. inland, don’t doubt it — because in the crystal-clear, unpolluted waters of Flathead Lake near Glacier National Park in Montana, you’ll find Golden Whitefish Caviar, widely acknowledged by food experts as one of the most delicious. This delicacy can be enjoyed at restaurants around the park. Montana also offers another special type of caviar: Huckleberry, a berry that grows on sunlit, fertile, well-watered mountain slopes and is found only in a few northwestern U.S. states. A small bag (half a pound) of these berries can be as expensive as caviar compared to other fruits and vegetables — so don’t miss trying both of these delicacies when you visit Montana.

The Montana Government’s Asia-Pacific Office is holding the “My American Dream Vacation” promotional campaign for one year. It plans to launch themed travel series including the “American Wine & Dine Tour,” “American Festival Tour,” “American Landmarks & Attractions Tour,” and “American Adventure Tour.” The campaign will also feature four essay contests. Simply write about your dream American vacation or participate in the voting activities to have a chance to win two round-trip plane tickets from Taipei to the U.S. during each themed event. The first theme, “American Wine & Dine Tour,” began accepting submissions on August 1st. Take this opportunity to win plane tickets and savor the rare and delicious caviar.

Located in the northwestern U.S., Montana is known as the “Big Sky Country.” Aside from its world-renowned Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park, the state’s diverse cuisine and wine are major draws for over 10 million visitors each year. In Montana, you can enjoy regionally distinctive products including tender, juicy, and sweet American beef, uniquely smooth mead, classic caramel sauce that’s sweet without being cloying, rich and creamy chocolate sauce, exclusive Huckleberry tea, jam, and chocolate available only in Glacier National Park. Plus, while traveling in Montana, you’ll have the chance to sample locally brewed craft beer and wine across different regions.
