Dating back to 1898, San Francisco’s iconic Ferry Building is a transportation hub and a landmark location for the Bay Area’s best food artisans, boasting three weekly farmers’ markets and dozens of nationally-acclaimed vendors and restaurants patronized by over 300 of the City's best chefs and restaurants.

Ferry Building Marketplace

Join the original Ferry Building Tour established in 2004 with a food industry professional as your knowledgable and engaged guide. Guests will sample handmade chocolate confections from Recchiuti and French macarons from Miette, named one of the top ten pastry shops in the world by Conde Nast Traveller. An offshoot of the high-end Slanted Door, Out the Door’s legendary Vietnamese spring rolls are a crowd favorite. Award-winning Mt. Tam cheese from Cowgirl Creamery, paired with sweet and sour loaves from Berkeley’s Acme Bread are always a hit. Additional stops may include Chez Panisse-inspired Japanese delicatessen, Delica, Humphry Slocombe, or Frog Hollow farms organic fruit stand.

We had an excellent tour with our guide Tori - she was very knowledgeable about the history of the Ferry Building, the food market and the vendors. We had delicious tastings of chocolates, cheese, bread and burgers - you won’t go away hungry!

We had a great tour w Rebecca. As a chef, she had a lot of add in discussions which were interesting. We had bread, cheese, tacos, tuna burger, and sweets. I think my favorite tasting was….strawberries. Who knew how many varieties of strawberries existed and how different they taste? Thanks for a great tour!
