Food tours are insanely fun, and there are
THREE WAYS TO TAKE A FOOD TOUR OF ASHEVILLE WITH ME!
1. PRIVATE TOURS
Private tours can be booked with me on MONDAYS & THURSDAYS. On a private tour we will generally visit 5 to 7 stops, dining on some of the best food that Asheville has to offer, with drinks included! It will be a meal, plus. In between food stops, we will walk about one & a half miles (8,000 steps) in beautiful downtown Asheville, visiting several historic neighborhoods, talking about history, architecture, trends and culture as we go. It is a relaxed tour, but there will be hills and stairs along the way. If you would like to book a private tour for 2 or 4 people, contact me directly, if you have 5 or more in your party, please reach out to Asheville Food Tours.

REVIEWS
“Stu did an amazing job. I was so glad the owners and chefs of these businesses took the time to talk with us about their passion for everything we got to taste and all the questions asked. Looking forward to ordering some of the things that I tried” – Cassie M.
“Stu was a great guide, great local food scene insights and history. Entertaining as well as informative. Our group of 3 were all extremely satisfied and highly recommend Stu’s tour.” – Mark G.
“You could not find a better food tour in the country. Knowledge of food, chefs, the city and it’s history made this food tour not just one of but THE BEST food tour ever. Thank you so much.” – Valerie M.
“Wonderful tour all around! Stu is not only knowledgeable about the food scene in Asheville, but he seems to know many of the chef’s and staff at the restaurants. During the tour, we even had a chance to meet a couple chefs. We tried a variety of dishes and visited interesting locations, including some that I would not have thought to try. Food portions and drinks were generous and we were very full by the end. One of the best food tours I have taken!” – Amy M.
FOOD TOUR LAST A MAXIMUM OF 3 TO 4 HOURS & WILL FILL YOU UP COMPLETELY.
