The food tour is wonderful and well worth the price! The guide is charming, funny and knowledgeable. The food and drinks are awesome and plentiful. I highly recommend it! My husband surprised me with this on our anniversary.

The mixology class was so much fun! We not only learned two drink recipes from 2023's top bar tender in Charlottesville, but we learned flourishes and how to make our drinks look professional too. It was so much fun and I will be attending all other classes too.
