Eat your way through Solvang’s most delicious, authentic spots on this small-group food tour designed for couples, families and solo travelers alike.
Led by a local in-the-know, you’ll skip the cheesy tourist traps and dive straight into the town’s real flavor, from award-winning sandwiches and artisan Japanese to authentic Danish pastries and small-batch gelato.
Along the way, you’ll have an option to sip local wines from the Santa Ynez Valley, meet chefs and owners who keep the town’s food scene thriving, and hear quirky history, insider tips, and a few secrets you won’t find in any guidebook (we’re called Secret Solvang for a reason).

5.00This was a really fun tour and Casey was a great guide and host. All of the food we tasted was great. The bluefin tuna roll at Ramen Kotori, with their house chili crisp, was amazing; the gelato was better than anything I've tasted on the Westside; and the Cotswolds cheese we sampled alongside a wine at Lucas and Lewellen was one of the tastiest I've ever had (and they directed us to Vinhus afterwards, where I managed to snag the last piece they had for sale, to take home!). I wasn't expecting to like the marinated mushroom sandwich we were served at the Peasants' Deli but it too was fantastic. The berry wines at the wine shop we visited were also great and I ended up buying two bottles. Overall just a really fun, mellow tour.
Wonderful food and wine tour!

5.00We had a great tour of Solvang with Vanessa. We learned a enough about Solvang and the area to make us want to plan a return trip. During the tour we tasted offerings from several places around town that were all delicious. This is a great way to start your time in Solvang to learn about the town and where to go for fun and great food. Take the tour!!!
Delightful!

5.00We were a bachelorette group and it was the highlight of our trip. The tour was thoughtfully curated to show us hidden gems we may have missed. The tour offerings were well rounded (coffee + pastries to start, 2 savory bites, 2 wine tastings including olive oil + balsamic, ended with ice cream.) Vanessa was a great tour guide. Highly recommended for any group looking to explore solvang!
Yummy and Filling

5.00the wife and I took the Food, Wine, & Culture tour this Saturday the 17th and had a great time. Casey was our guide and we actually had the privilege of being the only 2 people on the tour with Casey as our guide. if was definitely a five star experience. Casey was friendly and knowledgeable while still being professional. he was there to greet us a litte early before the scheduled time. the tour had 6 stops and there were 2 stops that were sweet, and 2 that were savory and 2 that had wine tastings. the food and wine at each stop were tasty and even though the samplings were "smallish" they were filling and we were definitely full by the end of the tour. it was great that at several stops we were able to talk with the owner/s. the tour lasted more than 2 hours and there was a bit of walking, but not "too much" walking. we had a great time and the tour was a great value, and we would recommend that you do the tour if you get a chance
