However, a beverage package upgrade is available, which provides guests a signature cocktail at various stops. Build Your Network Our exclusive experiences provide the ultimate networking opportunities. At a typical sit-down dinner, you’re lucky to engage the person to the left and right of you. Because our tours take place at multiple restaurants, with walking in between, there are countless opportunities to interact with different people when you sit down at each venue and as you traverse along the way.

Just remember to submit ahead of the tour date any dietary restrictions and food allergies for anyone in your group.

Menus can be printed featuring your logo, too, which can be an added bonus for all those Instagram moments you share.
