Our award winning standard Food Tours have served over 50,000 guests since opening in 2008.
We continue to develop, upgrade and run North America's finest culinary tours to give you and your guests the best possible experience possible. Our Food Tours combine an area's culture, history, architecture, as well as its local food and drink in a three-hour walking tour.
Our Food Tours are locally focused and neighborhood centric, visiting 3-5 establishments over 3.5 hours. At each stop, guests enjoy specially created dishes and at times drinks that reflect the area, looking at its past, while embracing its evolution into it's present state.
A formal, more customized version of a Food Tour, a Dine Around is a multi-course meal, featuring 5-6 dishes
served at two or three critically acclaimed restaurants. Dine Arounds will provide more time at each restaurant
for guests to enjoy the dishes, drinks, and the ambience of each restaurant.
Dine Arounds are customizable in a number of ways, including food preference. event budget, start time, duration, and drink pairings, to name a few. Dine Arounds can be combined with receptions, bar crawls, and other activities to create the ideal event.
Over the years, we developed a number of n culinary-based activities for groups to work together in a number of
different ways. After numerous tests and alterations, they became part of the 'Culinary Challenge' series.
Culinary Challenge events are now some of our most popular team building activities, and can be held in almost
any venue throughout Hampton Roads.
Teambuilding events are designed to foster collaboration and increase camaraderie through different interactive
and mildly competitive activities. We offer an array of teambuilding activities, both culinary and non-culinary
focused that can work with most groups and can be modified based on your goals for the group.
Thinking of a particular idea or concept but don't see it on our list? Please call us and let us know. We will be happy to put it together for you!
