Local Roots Food Tours was recently written up in the Sacramento Bee’s Appetizer Blog by Blair Robertson.   READ THE BLOG HERE.

Highlights of our walking food & cultural tours in Sacramento and what they are providing to the local community and businesses is spot on.  One of our biggest goals in offering walking food tours in the Sacramento Region is to bring more awareness to the community of what is behind the next door in Sacramento’s cuisine, the fantastic fresh local ingredients being brought in from local farms and showcasing the incredible history by exposing the roots to where it all began.  The most prevalent comment we receive in our reviews by tour participants is; “Wow, I didn’t even know that existed and I have lived down here for over 20 years”.

Our walking food tours, as stated by Blair Robertson, are a “Win/Win/Win” for everyone involved.  Knowing our company is expanding within the next month to more pockets of Sacramento as well as some great towns outside of the grid is very exciting.  We are moving in the direction we were hoping for and the reception has been amazing by our local communities and businesses.   Our summer months walking food tours have been very well received by locals as well as quite a few touring families who are looking to learn more about Sacramento and its amazing local roots!  Private group tours are always an option : Birthday, Anniversary, Bachelorette, Cooking and Book Clubs, Company Team Building…put a theme behind a food tour and we will guide and cater to your group’s needs.   Tours launch every Tues, Thurs, Friday and Saturdays.  6 different locations, great food and refreshing drinks included in ticket price.  Advanced ticketing is required.  Midtown Food Tours will be launching in August.  Keep checking back for more details on tickets and food tour menu teasers.
