Sometimes on food tours you eat while standing and walking but it was nice to sit and take it all it. Blerta was so great! She made sure to ask us all our favorite food and then give a local recommendation to try for that food. Would highly recommend. Come hungry it’s a lot of food!!”

San Diego to Temecula wine country with Old Town time, tastings at Frangipani, Wilson Creek, and Callaway, plus a plated lunch.

“Had a lovely day but it wasn’t what I was expecting. Thought lunch would be a plated meal in a restaurant but was out of a box from a local cafe. Was lovely but thought for the price of the trip it would be a proper lunch. Also thought I’d learn about the wine making process or the grapes but just tried different wines at the bar at each. All 3 wineries were lovely and had delicious wines. didn’t get any opportunities to take photos at all which was a shame.”

If you’ve taken food tours in other cities, this one is different. You try two types of plain tortillas to start and then have tacos with a drink at the end of the tour. Our tour did run long(not the guides fault, the restaurant was packed).”
