Old Town Alexandria Tasting and Historical Walking Tour
Waitlist Only
Friday, Jan. 15, 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Explore historic Old Town Alexandria, a city rich in history, architecture and culinary delights. Stroll through the cobblestone streets, enjoying samples of specialty dishes from Old Town’s unique and family-owned restaurants. Experience and recognize Old Town’s significance throughout the history of our country. Discover neighborhood restaurants off the beaten path, stopping to sample signature dishes.
Operated by DC Metro Food Tours, this tour showcases the city’s variety of restaurants that are housed in stately mansions, charming row houses and historic sites that have stood since the city’s colonial era founding.
Beginning at historic Market Square, the tasting includes stops along the way at local, family-run restaurants and shops featuring a variety of foods including regional comfort cuisine from a 100-year-old diner, fresh-baked artisan bread with regional jelly, local seafood specialties served in an 18th century captain's warehouse and hand-made chocolates. The focus on local as well as the city’s past creates a mix of the modern and international in a historic setting as the regional specialties meet eclectic cuisine created with local ingredients by chefs with their own history outside of the city and the country. Seating and special service is provided at all restaurants throughout the tour.
Join our knowledgeable guides and see what makes this former port town so charming, unique and delicious. Since this tour requires quite a bit of walking outdoors, please bring walking shoes and a coat.
