About
Our latest food tour introduces you to the historic yet chic charm of Georgetown, an area that pre-dated Washington DC.
You will be transported on this 3.5 hour food tour across 250+ years of history and enjoy flavors closely connected to the Northwest DC neighborhood.
This tour will bring together progressive, high-end cuisine, with long standing DC institutions. From restaurants and shops running before prohibition, to swanky hotspots, this food tour brings together some of the best this area has to offer.
Your Food Tour may include the following:
- Vegetarian local farm fresh hand made tacos
- Korean delicacies
- European house made dishes paired with wine
- Hand crafted specialty pies from a favorite local DC bakery
Long before it became popular by the Kennedys and the home of high end retail and fashion, Georgetown was a working class port city pre-dating the Federal City of Washington DC. Its roots are still very much alive and can be seen in the red brick townhomes and turn of the century factories that are found throughout the area.
We will finish up our journey by crossing the historic C&O canal and enjoying a sweet ending and drink from a bakery that originated as a printing house.
