Your tour will visit up to five local spots; past eateries have included pubs, rooftop bars, tea rooms, restaurants and more. Delicious features include appetizers, main courses, sweet treats and desserts, plus an alcoholic drink (or fun mocktail), which is included in the price. Sample unique dishes at each place, enough to make a meal, and learn about how they intersect with the city’s storied past.

A visit to Savannah isn’t complete without fresh seafood. Delight in the succulence of the Georgia coast with locally sourced oysters, crabcakes on a delicate bed of greens or shrimp and grits capped with a savory bacon cream sauce.

The culinary scene also boasts refreshing drinks — grab a velvety brew, sip a bold red wine or enjoy a mocktail to add another taste to your day.

Dessert choices won’t disappoint confectionery lovers, either. Options include Savannah’s famous pralines showcasing regional ingredients and Leopold’s Ice Cream’s must-try scoops — your choice, of course.
