Six tastings across downtown Asheville, a local guide for the whole route, and the stories behind the food. You will eat Indian street food, a dry-cured ham biscuit, a pressed panini, and an ice cream cookie sandwich, plus two tastings at local artisanal shops we keep secret until the day. Drinks are not included in the standard ticket.

*** You can find the meeting spot here and if it's not clear you can always contact us.

We meet at the Grove Arcade, at the Battery Park Avenue entrance. The arcade is the large 1929 building filling the block between Battery Park Avenue and Page Avenue on the western side of downtown, and it is hard to miss. Look for your guide near the entrance.

Your guide will be carrying an Orange umbrella so will be easy to spot.

Please note any dietary requirements or allergies when you book. Our Asheville team then checks with each venue on the route and comes back to you on what is workable, because the answer depends on the individual stop rather than the tour as a whole. Do get in touch before booking if a requirement is strict, so we have time to confirm it properly.

Yes. Six stops with two savoury sandwiches, a biscuit, two tastings, and a quarter-pound cookie between them add up to a meal. Come with an appetite and skip whatever you were planning to eat beforehand.

Children are more than welcome on our tour and it's free for any child 2 years or under! We have had many families attend from all over the world and everyone enjoyed the tour.

This is not a problem. Just inform our guide before the tour starts. During the tasting you can select another beverage you like.

We give enough food to all our customers. Trust us, you will not need to go to any restaurant after the Food tour!

Our tours are often sold out very quickly. If the date you requested is not available, please do not hesitate to email us and we can see if there is anything we can do.

Comfortable shoes, because this is a walking tour on pavements rather than a sit-down meal. Downtown Asheville sits at over 2,000 feet and the weather turns quickly, so a light layer and a rain jacket are worth having in spring and autumn. Bring a card if you want to buy something at the artisanal shops, and most guests do.

We take 14 people maximum. If you are more than 14 people, please do not hesitate to email us and we will try to see if we can accommodate.

You do not have to print your voucher. A confirmation on your phone will be fine!

All of our vouchers expire one year from the date of purchase.

Our guide will take care of everything. Should you wish to try something special, please inform our guide and he will do his best to make you happy.

Top - quality, fresh and local!

Unfortunately, the weather is unpredictable. We do not issue refunds as per our terms and conditions. We also inform you that we never cancel a booking even if we have only 2 people! However we do reserve the right to cancel the tour if we feel the weather is extreme, and we cannot run the tour due to this for more info see our Terms and Conditions.

You must book directly on our website. We do not accept cash payments. Our online payment is safe, secured and SSL protected.

The booking fee that you have to pay is up to our ticket provider and we can't change it. All our clients need to pay for it upon booking. The booking fee charged contributes to the cost of the ticketing system to provide an excellent service to our customers.

A few banks have charged their customer an extra fee while booking with us (this isn't the booking fee but another fee added by the bank). We think this is unfair, if this happens let us know by showing us in your bank statement and we will refund this fee as a gesture of good will.

Many of our tours are not wheelchair or stroller accessible. We recommend contacting us before booking to discuss this specific tour and accessibility options.

We always offer the lowest price on our Secret Food Tours. If you find one of our food tours listed at a lower price, contact us and we'll match it.

Downtown packs Appalachian cooking, imported street food traditions, and small artisan producers into a handful of walkable blocks, largely because the historic shopfronts survived and stayed cheap for decades. It is also a city where chefs source from farms within an hour's drive, which shows up on the plate. Walking it with a local is the fastest way to understand how the pieces fit.

It works well on day one. You will get your bearings in the city centre, eat properly, and leave with your guide's list of where to go next, which saves a lot of guesswork over the rest of a trip.

Two of the six stops are tastings at local artisanal shops we do not name in advance. Your guide reveals them on the day. It is one of the parts guests remember most, and telling you now would spoil it.
