Epicurean Excursion
Epicurean Excursion is a unique and delicious walking tour where you'll taste the foods, sip the drinks, and meet some artisans and vendors in their shops while exploring the lively Pearl District. If you watch the Food Network or consider yourself a "foodie," this is the adventure for you. On recent tours, tourists have sampled over 25 food and drink items in just over 3.5 hours. And it's not just about hitting those numbers; it's all about slowing down and understanding what makes up the food that you cherish. The 10:00am tour and 2:00pm tour differ in the places they visit plus the tour changes seasonally to emphasize the best this region has to offer - the best pinot noir wines, local produce, cheeses, teas, mustards, jams and jellies, beer, pizza, coffees, sorbettos and gelatos, chocolates, artisan breads and breakfast pastries, and much more. It is recommended that you only have a light breakfast or lunch before the tour. Meet your guide inside and upstairs in the mezzanine library at the Heathman Hotel. Do not wear open-toed shoes to this tour as we will be in places where a brewer, baker, or chef might give you the evil eye. This tour regularly sells out (since each group is limited in size), so buy your tickets now.
