Combining great food and great travel can change a person for the better. Bubba is ecstatic to give you an opportunity to experience Tampa, Dunedin, and St. Pete through your taste buds by partnering with the Taste Ambassadors at Tampa Bay Food and Craft Beer Tours.
Tampa Food Tour
Over the course of 3 to 4 hours, you’ll blend history and flavor on a walking tour between the area’s best restaurants. In a group of 6-12 people, you’ll get more than just a taste of food at the best local restaurants.
The Tour begins with champagne at Oxford Exchange so you can get to know your taste ambassadors and fellow food lovers. This evening tour discovers downtown Tampa and the Riverfront via a 3-hour walking food & wine tour. You’ll visit 4 to 5 amazing restaurants that showcase their finest tastings. Three even feature a wine pairing. Tampa’s Downtown and Riverwalk are alive with energy, art, and history. Since you’ll be covering a bit of ground, the Riverwalk “to-go cup” is your ticket to sipping and strolling.
The tour spotlights the beautiful backdrop of Tampa’s Riverwalk and the majestic Plant Hall at the University of Tampa. Cultural gems mingle with authentic history to create an atmosphere that provides the backdrop for our culinary adventure. The 1891 Tampa Bay Hotel, now a National Historic Landmark is key to the story of Tampa you’ll hear about.
Dunedin Food Tour
Explore charming waterfront Dunedin and discovers amazing seafood and craft beer. Located along the Gulf Coast, just west of Tampa, Dunedin is known for its annual Scottish celebrations and its quaint downtown. Voted as one of the most walkable cities, Dunedin has a picturesque waterfront, relaxed coastal feel, and activities for all ages. Dunedin features some of the best dining and craft breweries in Tampa bay! All of this with a touch of Southern charm.
Local favorite restaurants visited include Sea Sea Riders, Lucky Lobster, Hog Island Fish Camp, Cueni Brewery, and Jensen Brothers Seafood Carver’s Fish House. Dessert and coffee finale at Bon Appetit with an amazing waterfront view of St. Joseph’s Sound.
St Pete Food Tour
This tour explores the beautiful waterfront Beach Drive neighborhood via a 3-hour walking food & wine tour. You meet at The Vinoy Hotel the “Grand Dame” of downtown St. Pete and while sipping a signature cocktail you can explore this spectacular historic resort. (BONUS- you can park in the Vinoy’s valet and be validated for free parking!!) The tour continues to The Birchwood Inn for wine & food pairing and a visit to the Canopy rooftop restaurant for spectacular views of the pier & North Yacht Basin. A short stroll to Sun Dial’s celebrity chef Michael Mina owned Farm Table Cucina provides our next wine and food pairing. Up next you visit Flute & Dram for a taste of the good life with a champagne and caviar tasting, and later finish the tour with artisan baked desserts and coffee at Cassis St. Pete.
After spending the day at the beach or on a boat, the perfect way to round out your experience is through a shared meal and tour of the cultural landmarks in Tampa, St. Pete, or Dunedin. All three are rides worth writing home about. We’re excited to give you access to a vibrant food community you’ll remember and hopefully return to for years to come.
