The Flavors of the Winter Park Foodie Tour was a good time. The starting location was easy to find and even had complimentary electric vehicle parking. We were originally skeptical about a food walk in the July Central Florida heat, but the guides were fantastic about finding shade when they stopped to give us some local history. We really enjoyed the history of the Winter Park peacocks and why the town is called “Winter Park”. We wanted more of this.
We visited seven different locations and all the sweets, beverages, and samples were tasty and of high quality. The tasting room was the highlight of the tour because the staff member not only provided a history of his products, but he provided versatile ways of using them. We tasted a salad, chips and dip, and ice cream there. The other highlight was a restaurant that provided a special mimosa and salmon chip. We also visited the Winter Park food market and sampled a Jamaican chicken patty. Four of the visits offered sweets. While this was a great tour for adults, families, and kids, I wish there were more filling, food items and less sweets. Would I go back for one of their other tours like the Mister Rogers tour, absolutely!
