What is a food tour

A San Diego Food Tour combines culture, history, architecture tour in a walking or motorcoach based tour, with visits to several restaurants and/or establishments to enjoy a either specially created dish, enjoy a family style meal, or drink that is created in order to combine the specialties for each establishment while paying homage to the neighborhood and city. The Standard Food Tour visits up to 5 stops during a roughly 3 hour tour.

Food Tour, Dine Around, or Progressive Dinner?

A Dine Around visits fewer restaurants during the event (2-3 stops) with more food, often several courses at each place. A Dine Around is more customizable; we can set start time, theme, day, neighborhood, transportation, and alcohol pairings to your needs. In addition, we run Dine Arounds for up to 400 people.

A Progressive Dinner is a more traditional way to try several restaurants. Instead of dishes at each place, guests enjoy an appetizer at one stop, main course at another, and dessert at the final place.
