Taste Nashville classics on a small-group food walk through East Nashville or 12South, with local stories, five-plus tastings, and a secret dish.

“We had an incredible time on this food tour! Our guide, Taylor, was truly excellent—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about the area. The depth of the local history and neighborhood insights Taylor shared was an unexpected and fascinating bonus that made the tour much more than just a culinary walk. We were so impressed that we returned to East Nashville later that evening to visit three of Taylor's suggested spots—each one was a fantastic choice! We are genuinely so glad we signed up for this tour and highly recommend it.”
