Let the locals show you around…
Whether you live in the Boulder/Denver area or are just visiting, there’s always something new and fun going on in the food and beverage scene. A guided culinary tour helps you experience it, bite by bite, sip by sip. Rather than be another anonymous face in a restaurant, enjoy the special treatment Local Table Tours can offer. After all, the best way to get to know what’s going on in the food and beverage scene is on a culinary tour with a local foodie.
Where might you eat or drink on tour? Visit our Featured Restaurants list for more information on some of the Boulder and Denver establishments featured on a Local Table Tour.
All of the stops on our tours are relatively close. Tours last between 1.5 – 2.5 hours, so please wear comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk. Dressing in layers is recommended. Also, at more than a mile high, the air may seem thin. Don’t worry, we eat, drink, walk, and repeat. No running involved.
Interested in grabbing a table or some seats at the bar somewhere noteworthy after your tour? Ask Megan where to go. She’ll make you a reservation with VIP treatment. Call 303.909.5747 for details.

A Taste of Boulder- Downtown Dining Tours
Our Downtown Dining Tours feature some of Boulder’s most popular restaurants and foodie hot-spots on Pearl Street. Let a local food-loving guide bring you to a handful of Boulder’s best independently owned places for cocktails, dinner, dessert, and food specialty shops for discount shopping. This is a dining tour, not just a sampling tour, so food will be served at two stops and you’ll end with dessert. Plan to come ready to eat, not just nibble.

Fridays 3:00pm, Saturdays 2:30 pm $70 per person, includes food, libations, tax, and gratuity at each restaurant
Cocktail Tours in Boulder and Denver
Yes! Cocktail tours! Cocktail tours are a new way to experience the best watering holes in Boulder and Denver. Each featured bar is unique, and together they’re elevating our cocktail culture. Take a couple hours to appreciate the art of a well-crafted cocktail and join us in Boulder on Thirsty Thursdays and in Denver on Saturdays for a lesson on the major spirits, ice, shaking, stirring, and all things booze. Taste various professional creations and meet some of the best tenders of the bar in town. You must be 21+ to register.
There are themed cocktail tours during certain months, but otherwise, we’re always mixing up the order of our stops and our bartenders are always mixing something new. So, join us for a number of these educational tours. Think of these tours as private cocktail classes- be prepared to learn something interesting and taste something new.
Boulder- Thursdays 3:30 pm, $40 per person Denver- Saturdays 4:00 pm, $40 per person
Coffee and Pastry Tours
There are a lot of independently owned coffee shops in downtown Boulder, but few of them are as dedicated to the art of a respectably brewed cup as those selected for our tours. Each establishment we visit pours a locally roasted cup, yet all are quite unique. Learn about differences in beans, roasts, and brewing methods based on the bean’s origin, brewing at altitude, and dare to ask about the “chocolate” in a Mocha-Java (hint: there is NO chocolate). Coffee samples, a light breakfast, and engaging conversation make this tour an ideal way to start weekend.
1st and 3rd Saturdays each month (and by special request) 10:30 am, $25 per person
Market to Table Tours
Enjoy a light meal from a fantastic farm-to-table restaurant and find out why Boulder is considered to be a destination city for food lovers and chefs. Our tour starts downtown for some farm-to-table cuisine before walking over to the largest farmer’s market in Colorado where we’ll meet farmers and continue eating locally sourced foods. After dessert, you can continue to explore the market on your own, or enjoy the live music and the weekly entertainment at Boulder’s famous Farmers’ Market. Bring a canvas bag- You might want to shop!
