Just remember to submit ahead of the tour date any dietary restrictions and food allergies for anyone in your group. Feel Like a VIP at Each Stop With Lip Smacking Foodie Tours, you and your group members never have to worry about waiting in line to get into a top restaurant or being shown to a less than desirable table. On our tours, everyone is treated like a VIP with immediate seating upon arrival. What’s more, your group may receive a special warm welcome personally from the restaurant chef. Menus can be printed featuring your logo, too, which can be an added bonus for all those Instagram moments you share.

Our Mission Milk & Honey Ranch exists to help people reimagine what life is all about. Our Story In 2021, embarking on a mission to reimagine life, Milk & Honey Ranch was intended just for the Phillips family—a vision for a weekend getaway to escape city life. Brent researched hundreds of properties, but nothing felt right until he ran across a piece of land overlooked by others. On the market for over a year, its condition and the needed work were evident. But, as soon as he stepped foot on the ground, he fully envisioned what the land could be. A passion also ignited that it needed to be their permanent home and lifestyle—not just a getaway. It took the family a little while to buy into the permanent vision, but it was full steam ahead once they did.
