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.

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.

I organized this event as a team building activity and we had the most incredible time. It was seamlessly organized and just the right balance of information with all the delectable foods. We work right across the street from the Ferry Building and yet many people mentioned that they hadn’t tried some the spots that we visited. It was a casual, low-key way to connect with my colleagues and wonderful exposure to the gems hidden within the Building. I will definitely recommend this tour and especially Tori (she made everything come alive).

We enjoyed this food tour – especially meeting the strawberry grower and tasting the different varieties. Overall, we felt there were too many sweet tastes and not enough savory items. We did a bit of shopping in the Ferry Building after the tour.
