Where You'll Eat & Drink

Three distinctly different downtown venues, each pouring a cocktail and serving an appetizer created for the tour.

First stop

Crust & Craft

A beautiful venue with a 100-year-old storied past. Enjoy a signature appetizer and a seasonal cocktail created for the tour by their executive chef.

Next up

Sassafras

A longtime local favorite in a restored 100-year-old tobacco warehouse, with original brick and church stained glass. Their signature shrimp and grits comes with a seasonal sangria.

Last call

Maestro Bistro & Dinner Club

A supper club where an Argentinian chef cooks his grandmother's recipes. Expect her homemade empanadas with chimichurri and a special cocktail to finish.

Venues can occasionally change due to events or availability. We'll always swap in another great local spot.

Gratuity for your guide isn't included in the ticket price. If your guide made your day, it's always appreciated.
