Do you consider yourself food-adventurous?
Then join us as we go behind the scenes to explore the “gourmet” side
of Seattle’s food scene! Wind your way through tree-line
streets of downtown Seattle and Pike Place Market, to seek out “mom
and pop” specialty food shops, artisans, and famous neighborhood
restaurants.
In addition to the tastings, you will also go underground to
see a micro-brewery and gelato-maker in action. Meet the hard-working
people behind the food, and hear their stories and secrets of
the trade. Learn about the history, culture, and entertainment
offerings that make downtown Seattle a premiere destination for
visitors and residents alike!
Half of this tour is inside
Pike Place Market and half is in the surrounding neighborhood
in downtown Seattle. There is no overlap in tour stops with
the Food & Cultural Tour of Pike Place Market.
