Beyond the Bite: How Artisan Food Tours Showcases Palm Springs
When you think of a walking food tour in Palm Springs, you likely imagine sunshine, a leisurely stroll down Palm Canyon Drive and enough samples to skip lunch. While walking food tours are a fantastic way to get your bearings, Artisan Food Tours offers a deeper, more curated dive into the Coachella Valley’s culinary scene.
Here is what sets our artisan food experience apart from a typical neighborhood food crawl:
1.Elevated Small Plates over “Street Eats”
While some food tours focus on spots like pizza or frozen yogurt shops, Artisan Food Tours prioritizes gourmet quality, delightful ambiance and artful presentation. You aren’t just getting a snack, you’re enjoying the work of Michelin-recommended chefs and “hidden gem” restaurants that offer memorable taste experiences and Instagrammable moments.
2.Thoughtful Food & Wine Pairings
Standard tours might offer a glass of sangria or a soda but Artisan Food tours elevates the beverage offerings to match the food. You can expect:
Carefully selected wines
We love good wine. So much so that we owned our own wine brand named Calicaro. Our wines scored in the outstanding 90-93 point range. We pay close attention to the wines served on our tours. We look for wines that will complement our food offerings. This often means small, family owned international wineries making very good, food-friendly wines. We work with our restaurant and shop partners to sample and find wines that enhance the tasting experience.
Craft libations
We also highlight our famous cocktail culture, offering unique hand-crafted choices developed by our restaurant partners on all of our tours.
3. Focus on our Food Culture
At Artisan Food Tours, we talk about our historic little village and the celebrities who came here, but we also lean into our local food and beverage traditions, from fresh citrus to our cultivation of dates (including where to find the best date shakes). You’ll hear about our chefs and restaurants, both the ones on our tours and other favorites in town and across the valley. You’ll be introduced to our unique food culture and the traditions that shape our evolving local food scene.
