About this Tour

We’ll handpick five of our favorite eateries – from tucked-away treasures to artisan stops – where you will enjoy purposefully selected, interactive tastings. Sink your teeth into a juicy burger, savor Colorado green chiles, and relax with cool mountain-churned ice cream, all with Pikes Peak overhead. Say goodbye to your planning anxiety as we promise to lead you straight to the culinary highlights.

This tour is food-forward but does feature Colorado craft beer, wine, and cocktails. Elevate your experience by adding the drink package ($20), which includes three pre-paired alcoholic or premium non-alcoholic beverages.
