What To Expect

Coors Field

Built in 1995 in the heart of downtown Denver, Coors Field is home to our beloved Rockies and a must-see stop when visiting the Mile High City.

Dairy Block

This historic block, located in downtown Denver’s LoDo neighborhood, was once home to Windsor Dairy and is now a vibrant micro-district that boasts 15 shops, 19 restaurants, seven bars, a luxury coworking space, and a 172-room boutique hotel.

Denver Union Station

Denver Union Station is the cultural hub and the “crown jewel” of the city. The addition of world-class dining, shopping, and the award-winning Crawford Hotel has revitalized and transformed Denver Union Station far beyond its humble beginnings.

Cherry Cricket

This award-winning local spot has been serving delicious burgers, Colorado green chili and local beers since 1945.

Mcgregor Square

In the heart of Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo), adjacent to Coors Field, McGregor Square spans an entire downtown block. This new development includes The Rally Hotel, residences, restaurants, retail outlets, and expansive food-hall, all circling a 17,000 square foot plaza complete with a stadium-sized LED screen.

El Chapultepec

Denver's oldest jazz club closed during the COVID-19 pandemic but still sits in a historic building near Coors Field.

LoDo

Short for Lower Downtown, LoDo is the heart and center of the Mile High City and contains some of Denver's best local restaurants and bars.

The Wynkoop

Wynkoop is Colorado’s First Brewpub. For almost three decades they have been brewing handcrafted beer in a modest basement brewery underneath Denver’s largest pool hall. Over the years the neighborhood has transformed, and Colorado’s craft beer industry has exploded.

Although my wife is a food aficionado at heart this was the first food tour we have experienced. I was a little apprehensive when we scheduled it but I am now an absolute fan of the concept. It was such a fun way to spend an afternoon both tasting an array of distinct dishes and learning interesting characteristics of the Downtown Denver area. Jess & Lisa were so much fun. Time flew by and the walk between restaurants was easy and enjoyable. You may want to skip breakfast though as the samplings were rather filling. We highly recommend this tour!

This was my first food tour and it set the bar high! Had a great variety of restaurants, even some that I probably wouldn't have tried on my own! An easy going afternoon with great people. Loved the 'tour guides' and how they shared some history of the city, but also some lovely new up and coming spots! Again, cannot say more on how great this event was. I am coming back for the cocktails tour!!! Highly recommend to people visiting Denver, those that are new to the city/area, and those that have lived here for awhile! Something for everyone.

My wife, baby (1 yo), and I have done a few food tours and Jess ranks among the top in regards to knowledge of her city (Denver) and food scene. Jess was on time, didn't frown when we brought a baby with a stroller on the tour, and accommodated my last minute notice that I didn't eat red meat. The restaurants Jess picked out were fantastic. We had pizza (authentic Italian, AVPN certified), cheese donut (smoked with chili maple!), vegan hot dog (surprisingly tasty!), sheep cheese, tacos (with a native american twist!), and ended with an authentic Spanish style churro and chocolate dip. ***reminder, I don't red meat, this has the veggie options*** My favorite was the cheese donut with chili maple, followed closely by the pizza (my family went back the next day for dinner). I was also surprised by how much I enjoyed the vegan hot dog. My least favorite was the sheep cheese. I do enjoy cheese, but the one we tried wasn't to my liking. Whether you're a food tour veteran or rookie, try out Savor Denver Food Tour with Jess! You won't regret it :)
