A Complete Evening in One Experience: More than a food tour, it's an adventure combining a historical walk, market visit, coffee tasting, a hands-on cocktail class, and an interactive cooking session into one unforgettable night.

• Dine in an Exclusive Historic Building: Forget crowded restaurants. Your grand finale takes place in a charming old building—a designated historical site in the city's center—offering an intimate dining experience you can't get anywhere else.

• Designed for Connection: The tour is built to be social. The interactive classes create a relaxed atmosphere perfect for a unique date night or for solo travelers to connect and make new friends.

• Fun and Flexible Participation: Our goal is fun, not a stressful lesson! Be as hands-on as you like. One person can craft cocktails while another helps cook, or you can both just relax and enjoy the show.

This tour was fantastic. Our guide was great and gave us a good history of San Jose and walked us to some of the main attractions in San jose. We then headed to the restaurant where we made our own empanadas, and 2 cocktails. And then we were served a dinner. We got a lot of food on this tour. I highly recommend it.
100% recommend this tour...

Our guide Angel was friendly and engaging. He was knowledgeable and open to questions. The cocktails and food were delicious! He did his best to accommodate my dairy allergy by making me a completely different drink, which was wonderful.
Lots to eat and drink and see in a short time
