Charlotte Food Tours Thriving

Did you know that Charlotte has several food tour services that are helping make our city’s diverse food culture?  Companies like FEAST offer the “local” perspective on our food options.  These services are really nice to have for those of us involved with our local food system because they help build awareness about the many food choices Charlotte has to offer.  The food tours are not just geared toward visitors.  Locals can benefit from food tours because they offer a great way to quickly see several food businesses in one day.  These tours naturally promote the food businesses in town thinking outside the box and quite a few of those businesses are supporters of the local food system.  We encourage people to keep these tour services in mind and consider going on one if you want to spend a nice afternoon getting a little more in depth with our food culture!
