[/heading] This tour combines the best of both sides of Broad Street in the heart of Monroe and Jackson wards, with a few stops at some of First Fridays’ favorite spots, including on occasion, Rappahannock, recently named one of Esquire’s Best New Restaurants and noted in the National Geographic rave about Richmond. Join us along one of Richmond’s most eclectic thoroughfares. Visit intimate bistros, bustling lunch spots with Southern favorites, and specialty food retailers featured in national magazines while passing through quirky Carytown and exploring the charming Museum District. Church Hill has a storied past and its future looks brighter than ever with a revitalized culinary scene that includes national press favorites The Roosevelt, Dutch & Company, Sub Rosa Bakery, Proper Pie and so many worthy spots. Our newest route showcases this gritty city neighborhood that is exploding with the energy of makers of all sorts including brewers, coffee roasters, restaurateurs, food manufacturers, farmers market vendors and artisans alike. Come along on this 1.5 mile walking tour of Richmond’s oldest neighborhoods as we sample specialties at several distinctive, local eateries and get a taste of the architectural and historical richness of Richmond. Join us along Libbie and Grove avenues in the city’s West End near the University of Richmond for a leisurely afternoon of sauntering, sampling, and shopping in an area chock-ful of food and wine worth savoring. Less than 1 mile of walking on this route. More fun than college, this tour walks through VCU’s vibrant and Victorian (and victorious!!!) Monroe Park Campus with a pop over across Broad into Carver on occasion. [icon color=”Extra-Color-1″ size=”regular” image=”fa-cutlery”] This area was once an international trading post and we’ll sample plenty of international flair along our 1.4 mile route. Richmond has played a central role in American history and has the history, architecture and natural features to prove it. [icon color=”Extra-Color-1″ size=”regular” image=”fa-cutlery”] This tour is a feast for the eyes and palate as we take in the artistry of chefs and artists along Main and Cary streets in the Fan.

[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”20″] Each food tour features approximately 1.5 miles of leisurely walking. This isn’t a forced march, and in some establishments you will be able to sit down for a few minutes, but you will want to wear comfortable walking shoes as cobblestones, stairs, and hills are sometimes part of the route. We hesitate to call the various samples of delectables the equivalent of a meal, but it would be unlikely that a guest would walk away from our tours hungry. The tour will go on, rain or shine. Please bring an umbrella and a cheery attitude. We’ll do the same. If severe weather forces us to cancel a tour, we will notify you in advance and either refund your money or reserve you a spot on a future tour. Unfortunately, we cannot. Some routes suit vegetarians better than others. Call or email for information. Once purchased, tickets cannot be refunded because we have reserved space for you on the tour and with the restaurants. Tipping the tour guide is always appreciated but never expected. We sure do, for a minimum of 8 people. Call or email us for rates. We offer our typical food tours for your corporate outing or group, depending on group size, and we also offer Off the Eatin’ Path: Richmond’s Riverfront for groups as small as 8 and as large as 40 that includes lunch or dinner at a Shockoe Slip spot. RVA Ink: Imprint & Impact, is all about creativity and innovation and includes lunch or dinner. We’re happy to customize tours to fit your group’s needs. Capital of the Confectionery, anyone?![heading]
