We visited an amazing collection of locally owned spots where chefs and owners came around to meet us. It was such a hit for our group. I would definitely recommend Taste Carolina for a ‘more than your typical’ outing! It’s so nice to see Taste Carolina connecting local restaurants to the community.

Hands down the best tour ever! I was surprised as to how many hidden gems are in our beautiful city. Our guide was sweet, knowledgeable, and so much fun! A great way to share downtown with friends visiting from out of town, a day date, or a girls day/ night. I will be going again very soon.

This is an excellent way to treat your staff, mix, mingle, and "taste" excellent food and drinks from local restaurants. Our tour guide did a wonderful job sharing some history, interesting facts, and keeping us on schedule. Great mix of local restaurants.

What a fabulous experience and well-run company! It’s a great activity to do with friends and family from out of town, or even to explore restaurants and learn stories about your own hometown you may not know. Thank you to the Taste Carolina team for supporting local businesses and showcasing, in such a wonderful way, how much exceptional delicious-ness there is in NC!
