Overview

Embark on a walking food tour that brings Denver’s rugged past and inventive present to the plate. From smoky frontier flavors to wildly creative mash-ups, this journey serves up the city’s culinary signatures alongside stories carved into its oldest streets.

From smoky elk sausage once name-dropped by Bourdain to iconic green chili served in Denver’s historic LoDo, this tour blends bold bites with Wild West charm and cobblestone tales. Along the way, you’ll see the city in a whole new light—one story, landmark, and laugh at a time.

Optional sake, cider, and dessert wine pairings are available for the 21+ crowd. Non-alcoholic options are provided on request.

  • A 3-hour flavor quest through Denver’s boldest bites, led by a local expert.
  • Taste your way through 5 unique food stops + drink pairings:
    • Stop 1 – Elk Sausage & Frontier Smoke
      Start where Colorado’s wild heart beats loudest: with a smoked elk sausage that’s rich, rustic, and unforgettable. Locally sourced and once spotlighted by Anthony Bourdain, this bite brings the wilderness to your plate—perfectly paired with a chilled Colorado craft beer.
    • Stop 2 – Chili Tales & LoDo Trails
      Step into the stories of Lower Downtown (LoDo), where Denver’s green chili obsession simmers beside Wild West lore. Hear about the city’s most infamous bordello and the legends that built the Mile High City—one fiery bite and scandalous tale at a time.
    • Stop 3 – Cheeseburger Pizza, Denver Style
      Pizza, but make it weird—in the best way. Denver’s crowned pizza status takes a quirky turn with a slice inspired by the all-American cheeseburger. It’s comfort food, reinvented—and a proud example of the city’s fearless flavor mashups.
    • Stop 4 – Mile High Mile Markers
      Walk off those bites with a guided stroll past Denver’s iconic landmarks: the Ice House, Union Station, and the historic Oxford Hotel. These streets hold stories, secrets, and the soul of the city—if you know where to look.
    • Stop 5 – Secret Dish & Final Cheers
      The finale? A hush-hush secret dish that defies expectations and seals the tour with a flavorful twist. Paired with a Vietnamese iced coffee espresso martini, it’s the kind of ending worth talking about—after you’ve tasted it.
