Overview

Follow your appetite through the heart of Austin on a guided tasting tour that dives into the city’s delectable flavors, quirky charm, and culinary creativity. This curated experience blends local tradition with modern flair—from smoky brisket and iconic breakfast tacos to offbeat fusion bites and a one-of-a-kind dessert.

Start strong with Central Texas-style BBQ brisket and pinto beans done right—a plate that speaks the local language. Bite into a beloved breakfast taco, then swing by a fan-favorite food truck for a surprise fusion dish that changes with the chef’s whim. Cool off with a honey-kissed smoothie made with Texas wildflower honey, then cozy up at a brick-and-mortar spot that began as a humble food truck and still serves comfort with heart. Finally, indulge in a flan-inspired dessert made just for this tour.

This is more than a food crawl—it’s a flavorful stroll through what makes Austin taste like Austin.

Alcohol is available to guests 21 years of age and older where permitted.
