About Taste History Culinary Tours:
Taste History is a fun foodcentric cultural daytrip that incorporates a rotation of cuisine tastings representing varied cultures. Taste History combines history, culture and cuisine therefore this gastronomy tour infuses food tastings with the history of the local area along with rotational visits to emerging cultural districts, historic buildings or art shops.
Taste History is a fun and engaging 3 to 4 hour foodcentric narrated excursion of bus riding that may include 4 to 6 blocks of walking through historic districts for alternate visits to eateries, bakeries, cafes, juice bars and markets for food history, food culture facts, foodways information and food tastings. At least three to four local and family-owned eateries offering more than a dozen tastings are visited per Taste History tour along with trips to historic buildings, cultural centers or art shops. The tours are held on the first, second, third and fourth Saturdays of each month, year-round at 11am with visits to historic West Palm Beach; Lake Worth & Lantana; and Delray Beach & Boynton Beach, Florida.
Each tour is different and never an exact duplication of previous tours hosted with a focus on local and family-owned eateries and eateries that may be off-the-beaten path.
