Regular daytime running tours are usually 3.5-4 hours. It depends on the size of the group and the pace of the group. Occasionally smaller tours will end earlier.
-
We sure hope so! If you don’t have fun, there is probably something wrong with you.
-
We try to accommodate the best that we can, but if we don’t know about the allergies/aversions ahead of time, we may not be able to accommodate.
We are usually able to accommodate a good amount of allergies/aversions but please note that none of our kitchens are completely allergen-free kitchens.
If you have a very big allergy (or a mild food allergy), please feel free to give us an email, call or text and we are happy to discuss the tour and make sure it is right for you.
-
While children are welcome on the tour, please keep in mind that tours are 3-4 hours long and we walk approximately 2.5 miles. All children three years and older are required to have a ticket. Children under two can attend free of charge if they will not be participating in the food tastings. Please let us know if you plan to bring children when purchasing your tickets. We are dog people, because life is getting busier we don’t recommend bringing them.
-
We suggest wearing comfortable clothes and shoes. Evan wears wedges on some of her tours because she is crazy and it keeps her going at a nice slow pace, don’t be like her, be comfortable. Rain Schmain – we will still carry on, just with cute rain boots, umbrellas, and ponchos. Please bring your own. Seriously though, tours will run rain or shine. We are in Santa Barbara, awful weather is simply a matter of opinion. We ask that you check the weather forecast and dress accordingly if inclement weather is predicted.
-
Yup, tickets must be purchased in advance. You snooze you lose. Tours often sell out so we suggest purchasing your tickets early to guarantee your desired tour day. You can buy your tickets either online or by phone with a Visa, Mastercard or American Express. We can do venmo too.
-
Although not required, we definitely encourage tipping your tour guides! They are work hard!
-
Who doesn’t take these tours? 3.5ish hours of fun, food, drinks, and some cool history, but not too much.
Locals, while you may be familiar with our route and the tasting locations, you have the opportunity to try new foods at the tasting locations and learn more about the establishments themselves. Also, being a local, you have the unique opportunity to re-visit the eateries we feature on the tour and any other recommendations we point out at your leisure!
Additionally, this tour is an excellent way to entertain out-of-town guests, celebrate a special occasion, or encourage professional team building.
-
Both wheelchairs and strollers can be accommodated; it might not be the easiest with wheelchairs, it is certainly doable (and has been done!) and we can make it happen. Please let us know before hand if someone is in a wheelchair or you have a stroller
-
You have to be able to walk and stand. There are opportunities to sit at most locations.
The tour was designed with my 91-year-old awesome grandfather in mind, he walks with a cane and he can do it – you can too!
-
Of course, you can and we welcome it. We love touring with a group of like-minded fun foodies. Click on the Private Tour Request here and fill out the form! Let’s get our fun on.
-
MOST guests are pleasantly full by the end. We do not want you feeling overly stuffed and we have some great food in this town of ours and want you to enjoy a nice dinner.
We do suggest having a light breakfast before you meet up with the group, we prefer everyone’s blood sugar to be stable and not dropping.
-
Water is offered during most of our tastings, and you are welcome to bring a bottle with you (we encourage it).
If you paid for the alcohol included ticket – you will enjoy two alcoholic beverages (one is usually a wine tasting flight) the other depends on the day.
If you look under 25, please don’t forget to bring your valid government-issued ID.
-
There are several paid lots within a five-block radius of the meeting location. We do NOT recommend street parking because of time restrictions. Specific parking details will be included in the meeting location information after purchasing tickets.
Sundays there is free street parking!
-
We generally recommend taking the tour early during your stay in town to allow enough time to revisit some of your favorite stops later during the trip.
-
You want to add a little something extra with candles? That’s awesome, we love all the celebrating. We are happy to try and accommodate!
We have a $10 add on fee for this. Please feel free to text or email Evan in advance ([email protected]) if you have any questions!
