An optional beverage package also can be arranged so that clients are served a craft cocktail or premium wine at each stop with no wait. Any dietary allergies or restrictions can easily be accommodated, too. There are no interruptions by servers wanting to take your order, as the menu has already been curated to feature each restaurant’s most special dishes. Indeed, while most sit-down affairs are hampered by the fact that clients can converse only with those seated on either side of them, our experiences allow them greater flexibility to sit next to different people at each restaurant. It provides a more natural, free-flowing exchange between more people when they’re most at ease over fabulous food and drink. Clients can even strike up conversations naturally with one another as they stroll from one venue to the next. Consider it the ultimate organic networking experience. This is an elevated, white-glove experience like no other by a company that is the recognized leading specialist in providing distinctive culinary tours for groups of 10 to 250. While the experiences typically last from 2 ½ to 3 hours, their duration, as well as their start times, whether daytime or prime-time evening, can be tailored to your exact needs. Getting a group from one point to another can be a job in itself. That’s why we provide deluxe shuttle transportation to pick up your group to take them comfortably to the restaurants, and back. There are numerous opportunities for company or sponsorship branding. Moreover, our experiences are led by professional guides with a keen eye for detail who are accustomed to working with C-suite executives in all industries.
