Craving an edible adventure? Taste Carolina’s weekend tours offer more than just a meal—they’re an experience. Each week, the Friday Tasting Tour ($79) runs at 12:45 pm and explores food halls, restaurants, and artisan shops, with savory and sweet tastings for all ages. For the 21+ crowd, the Saturday Dinner & Drinks Tour ($109) kicks off at 2:30 pm, with five stops serving craft cocktails and enough bites to count as dinner.
Each tour lasts 3 to 3.5 hours and covers 2 to 3 miles of walking, so wear comfy shoes and prepare for rain or shine! Tours fill up fast—book in advance, and don’t forget your ID if you plan to sip.
This isn’t sponsored (we’d tell you if it was). We just think the best way to get to know a place is through the stomach.
