We strongly encourage each of our guests to review our regularly updated “COVID-19 Updates & Safety Procedures” page for a full overview of what we are doing to keep our guests, our partners, and our staff safe.

This tour serves enough food for lunch, so come hungry!
We’ve developed a delicious itinerary and have set the menu and drink pairings in advance with each of our restaurant partners. Because of this, we do not allow a la carte ordering. You are always welcome to return to a destination after the tour to try whatever may have tempted your taste buds!
Leaving a 15-20% gratuity for your Tour Leader is customary, especially if you had a great time and wish to recognize them for a job well done! We recognize that most people don’t carry cash these days, so our guides are able to accept credit cards at the end of the tour. *NEW! You now have the option of pre-paying your gratuity with your ticket purchase!
Our public food tours are currently limited to 10-12 guests. Public tours may accommodate more. To inquire about setting up a private event, please find more information here.
This tour has been designed to be family-friendly, and we welcome young foodies who are 12+ years of age.

Finally, please be aware that without a paid ticket, children will not be included in the seating reservation.
Thankfully, rarely if ever do we cancel due to weather! Luckily for us, Colorado experiences over 300 days of sunshine every year. Count on your tour taking place rain, snow, or shine.
