This classic Santa Fe food and drink adventure is focused on Santa Fe's downtown Plaza neighborhood. You will explore Santa Fe by foot while sampling the best in local food and beverage. You will have a chance to sample classic New Mexican flavors, as well as get a taste of what’s new and exciting in Santa Fe’s food scene. Along the way, you’ll learn about the city’s long and fascinating history, with an emphasis on how Native, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures shaped – and were shaped by – the region’s unique (and delicious!) food culture.

5.00What a wonderful afternoon! Lauren started as a guide and finished as a friend. She was extremely knowledgeable and willing to go above and beyond at every stop to ensure a great experience. The food and beverage offerings were very well curated and encompassed great flavors with a good variety. Can’t go wrong as a top activity in Santa Fe!

5.00We just arrived in Santa Fe on our first visit to NM, and what better way to get a ‘taste’ of the city (bad pun, I know) then on a guided food tour by a local? Lauren was our guide and it became clear early on that 1) she has personal connections with many of the city’s restaurateurs, and 2) she’s a lot of fun to be around! Needless to say, we enjoyed this tour very much - so much so, that we booked a Margarita Trail tour with her the following day. You don’t need to be a ‘foodie’ to enjoy this tour - the restaurants are unpretentious (the chef de cuisine at one of SF’s finest restaurants joined us at our table and regaled us with details of his comic book collection!) and the food and drinks are approachable. Don’t hesitate to sign up!
Excellent guide!

5.00Our tour guide, Lauren, was wonderful! We learned so much about the history of Santa Fe and New Mexican cuisine. It is clear she is passionate about food, and loves to share what she knows with people. So warm and friendly – by the end of the tour you felt like you had a new friend! We went to four different locations, three with food and three with drinks. A fun and informative way to spend the afternoon!
