About this activity

Don't be fooled by imitations and take THE original "SIP & SAVOR" chef-guided food and history tour, offered by the #1 Tour/Activity Operator in Santa Fe.

This classic Santa Fe food and drink adventure is focused on historic downtown Plaza neighborhood. Explore Santa Fe by foot while sampling the best in local food and beverage. Along the way, you’ll learn about the city’s long and fascinating history, with an emphasis on how Native, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures shaped – and were shaped by – the region’s unique (and delicious!) food culture.

This tour is designed with adventurous eaters in mind and includes a variety of restaurants, and is NOT focused exclusively on New Mexican food. We bring you the best of Santa Fe, which includes a diverse array of cuisines.
