Come with us on a tasting tour to meet Denver's premier local gourmet food producers and purveyors.
This isn't some big, impersonal, stay-behind-the-velvet-ropes tour. Our small group tours are intimate, informal, hands-on and fun.
The people behind the gourmet places welcome you like a friend and give you the inside scoop on what makes their stuff the best.
Imagine spending a day tasting deep, fragrant chocolate, smelling freshly ground spices, comparing wines from various regions, learning unexpected ways to pair food with wine, beer and tea, and thrill your inner child with warm cookies and cupcakes. Each stop on our tasting tours brings you front and center to see and experience truly gourmet products, showing you subtleties and flavors you never noticed before.
Our guided walking tasting tours are about 3 hours long. Tours meet at a central location and visit 4-6 destinations, indulging in Denver's best gourmet experiences, while walking off the calories in Colorado's brilliant sunshine.
