Livermore Food Tours stop at 6 locations with a variety of food that is enough for a satisfying lunch for most appetites. We suggest that you have a light breakfast the morning of your tour.
A variety of tastes from different parts of the world! We’ll savor food at ethnic cafes, specialty shops and local restaurants. Much of the food sampled on the tour is locally grown or produced. Tastings may vary from tour to tour, but you will be treated to hearty, sweet and savory items.
A list of participating tasting locations can be found on our TOUR page.
Water is provided throughout the tour. There is a wine tasting included for guests 21 and older. Please be sure to bring a valid ID to partake in the wine tasting.
We walk at a comfortable and moderate pace on fairly level ground covering about 1.2 miles in 3 hours. We will be seated at most of our tastings, but tour guests will be standing or walking for a good part of the tour. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes!
Absolutely! We’d love for you to gain a new appreciation of your hometown! While you may be familiar with some of our tasting locations, you’ll get a chance to discover new foods, dive into the stories of local chef and owners, spend a fun afternoon with fellow foodies and explore the history and architecture of your city in a unique way! Also, this tour is a fantastic activity to entertain out-of-town family and friends.
The tours are held rain or shine, year round. Please check the weather forecast and dress accordingly. We’ll provide ponchos in case of sudden weather changes or if you do not have your own raincoat or umbrella. For most days in the Tri-Valley, we always suggest sunscreen, sunglasses and hat.
Comfortable and casual! And we encourage you to check the local weather and dress accordingly. Sunglasses and/or hat are always a good choice in sunny Livermore. We’ll say it again…. Wear comfy shoes!

Although we offer young foodie ticket prices, the tour is 3 hours long and some children have a limited attention span and therefore the tour may not be appropriate for them. Parents, who know their children best, should assess the situation individually. Since there is a lot of standing and walking, please consider this when deciding whether the tour is appropriate for your child. We want to ensure a pleasant tour experience for yourself and those around you!
If you’re bringing an infant or young child and they will not be participating in the tastings, you do not need to purchase a ticket for them. However, please let us know if you will be attending with an infant in the Notes section when you purchase tickets. You may bring a stroller on the tour, but it may have to remain outside at some tasting locations.
