A three + hour small group guided walking and gourmet tasting tour through the heart of Palm Springs

Join us on a relaxing gastronomic journey through our historic, charming village. En route, we’ll enjoy four carefully curated, generous sit-down tasting experiences and one stand up experience. Here’s an example of our Downtown tour:

Our first stop is a hidden gem: an artful cafe with gorgeous hand-painted walls done in the happiest of colors. We’ll have a brunch item with a selection of their Vittoria coffees and other drinks. The commitment and intention at this cafe is clear. They care deeply about what they’re doing and it shows in all respects. The super talented chef is one of Palm Springs’ rising stars, with a Michelin recommendation.

Stop number two is a small gourmet market where we’ll enjoy artisan charcuterie and cheese boards along with generous pours of wine. There will be time to shop, with a special store discount for our group. Check out their beautifully packaged products to enjoy here or bring home to family and friends.

We’ll then explore downtown Palm Springs, hearing the remarkable backstories about the colorful cast of characters who chose to live in this remote desert oasis. Our unique history includes the indigenous Agua Caliente people, the pioneers, including the strong women who led the village, the celebrities who escaped from Hollywood to relax here and the architects who created our stunning Desert Modern architecture & design, uniquely adapted to this dramatic landscape and dry, sunny climate.

At the midpoint of the tour, our venue will be a newish, upscale Baja-inspired restaurant. with an airy and sophisticated late mid-century vibe. Helmed by a Michelin recommended chef, the food is a delicious counterbalance to the minimalist design, with rustic handmade tortillas and richly layered, flavorful sauces. We’ll sample our choice of their carefully crafted tacos (pro tip: the fish taco is ahhhh-mazing!).

We’ll then pop into a family-owned candy maker to sample and learn about their pure and simple, but not easy process in making small batches of scrumptious candy (the secret: use only five ingredients of the highest quality). You’ll have an opportunity to shop, with an exclusive discount.

Our tour will finish at a restaurant described by its owners as the “moody sister” to their other Michelin recommended restaurant. The design is sophisticated and the food is every bit as good as its better-known sister’s. The menu offers elevated Latin and Jalisco-style Mexican cuisine. We’ll sample their flights of vividly-hued craft margaritas, followed by beautifully presented dessert selections. Instagram worthy? Absolutely!

As our tour comes to an end, we’ll share recommendations for some of our favorite local restaurants and bars, along with other activities, and then bid our farewells, having met as strangers and parting as friends. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy all that Palm Springs has to offer. Maybe swim, lounge by the pool, shop or hike in our mountains? Enjoy!

You can ask yourself: is there a better way to make new friends than by breaking bread and sharing wine together? We don’t think so!

Cheers and bon appetit!
