Our tours generally last about 3 hours and participants can expect to be standing or walking for a majority of the time. We walk at a moderate pace and also provide at least two sit-down locations on all of our tours for at least 30 minutes total during the tour.

Yes, there is public street parking located near the meeting points of tours. Specific parking details are included in the meeting location directions which are emailed to you after purchasing your ticket(s).

The Tours are about three hours long and some children have a limited attention span and therefore the tour may not be appropriate for some of them. Parents, who know their children best, should assess the situation individually. Since there is a lot of standing and walking, please consider this when deciding whether the tour is appropriate for your child. If your child is 2 years of age or younger and will not be eating, you will not need to purchase a ticket for him/her, but should consider packing snacks and something to keep him/her quiet and occupied (so as to not interfere with the enjoyment of the tour by the other paying guests).

We do not provide a waiting list. If a date and time is sold out, there is always a good chance that we will add an additional tour on that day. Please email us to let us know what date you are interested in if you do not see availability.

If you let us know when you book your tour, we CAN provide vegetarian-friendly tasting, but we CANNOT offer alternatives or substitutions for any other allergies (including lactose intolerant) or dietary restrictions (including vegan and gluten free). You must request your Vegetarian-friendly options in advance during the ticket purchase process.

For the most part, all of our tours are wheelchair and baby stroller friendly. In the case where a tasting location may not be wheelchair accessible; the tasting will be conducted on-site outside.

Yes, bathrooms are available during the tour at selected food-tasting locations.

The tours are held rain, shine, or snow. In the event of inclement weather, we will be able to go inside many of the establishments on the tour. We also provide ponchos in case of sudden weather changes or if you do not have your own umbrella. However, we advise you to check the weather conditions for your day’s event and dress appropriately.

At this time, we do not offer tours in any other language except English. Please email us if you would like to make arrangements for your own interpreter to join the tour.
