CHEF’S PERSPECTIVE
Our tours are run by chefs who contribute a culinary perspective, telling the story of the Northwest through its food.
LOCAL TASTE
We strategically choose our partners to ensure the best quality products of the Northwest are represented.
SMALL GROUP SIZE
We keep group-size smaller than most tours to create a more intimate, less touristy experience. This also creates a better dynamic to ask questions, absorb the information and connect with the other group members.
LOCAL FOOD WITH A PURPOSE
More than just providing great tasting food, our vendors serve as a talking-point to our farming, fishing and produce in the Northwest and what they are doing to maintain higher quality control than the average. Our team keeps the tours light-hearted but also bring some attention to our local food ecosystem and touch on awareness in certain industries.
RECEIVE 10% DISCOUNT
After the tour, all guests get a 10% discount card for not only the vendors we visited on the tour, but all of our market partners.
