Rocky Mountain Food Tours runs guided walking food tours in downtown Colorado Springs, Colorado. The company offers a range of tasting-focused experiences from a 1-hour Coffee & Culture Art Walk to multi-stop 3-hour progressive dinners and pop-up themed tours.
Offerings include the Original 3-Hour Colorado Springs Food Tour and a Classic 3-Hour Food Tour (noting that nearly 20 downtown destinations may be featured in rotation). Specialty options include a 2.5-Hour Downtown Brewery & Bites Tour with visits to three craft breweries and advertised beer tastings, a 2.5-Hour Cocktails & Canapés Walking Tour that highlights signature drinks and prohibition stories, a Gold Medal Food Tour that pairs international tastings with access to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Museum, and a seasonal 3-hour Valentine’s Progressive Dinner Tour.
Guides lead casual, small-group downtown walking itineraries that typically visit four to five restaurants, artisan shops, and hole-in-the-wall eateries per food tour, with generous tastings that often add up to a full meal. The Classic tour notes an $18 upgrade option to include Colorado craft beer, cocktails, and wine. The Coffee & Culture Art Walk provides a complimentary beverage, art stops, and lunch recommendations. Rocky Mountain Food Tours partners with the Care and Share Food Bank so ticket purchases support local hunger relief.
Tour descriptions emphasize local culinary storytelling and historical context about Pikes Peak, the gold rush, and the railroad. Routes generally cover roughly 1–1.5 miles and may not form a complete loop; sample itineraries can differ from actual tour stops.
