Worth Tasting….The Culinary Walking Tour of New Haven

Saturday, April 28 the weather was perfect for the first culinary walking tour of 2012. The tour served as the midway meeting place for two of the guests who came from Princeton New Jersey and Boston Massachusetts. One participant was delighted that she was able to do some shopping for unique birthday gifts at some of the stops.  It was a fun group who were into the culinary scene of New Haven.

The next tour is June 9. For tickets, please call 203-777-8550 or 203-415-3519

On Saturday, August 6, we had a great group that experienced some of New Haven’s great restaurants. The tour began on the 19th floor at the beautiful Omni New Haven Hotel at Yale. What a great view of the city! Two new stops participated on this tour.  Congratulations to Stephen Bentivegna who won the gift certificate from Scoozzi, one of the new stops. The participants enjoyed  wine tasting at The Wine Thief. Some couldn’t resist buying a few bottles to take home. To top it all off we stopped at the WAVE Gallery for an artisan chocolate. 

The next tour is September 17. Make your reservations now since the September tour sells out quickly.  For reservations 203-777-8550 or 203-415-3519
