What is a Food Tour?

A Food Tour combines an area's culture, history, and architecture with local food and drink. We integrate historic and cultural sites with visits to local establishments to enjoy specially created dishes. We meet chefs, proprietors, brewmasters, farmers, and bakers and learn how their story enhances the story of the area.

Why take a tour with us?

We do not run the cheapest tours in town. Our focus is solely on quality, not quantity. We do not advertise on Bourbon with a big sign by the big beer store. We pay homage and respect to the local communities and neighborhoods and do our best to become a part of the culture, rather than stand out. If you are interested in the other, let us know and we will gladly recommend one.

Our sister companies have been highlighted in a variety of media throughout the country and world.
