Washington, DC
Building Monuments to Culinary Majesty!

Stylish restaurants, celebrity chefs and fresh local fare are all on the menu in DC, a city whose “suddenly seductive” dining scene (New York Post) is no longer known primarily for power lunches and elegant State dinners. You’ll be checking into a beautiful boutique hotel in the heart of the Capital City, within a short distance to the nation’s most cherished monuments and museums. Your culinary getaway is filled with delicious diversions that include hands-on cooking, a scrumptious tour of historic Georgetown, and gourmet dining that will leave you with a new found respect for Washington, DC as a foodie destination. With DC chefs finding celebrity on national TV, restaurants placing focus on all things green and a First Family sampling all that DC’s culinary scene has to offer, there’s no better time to visit the nation’s capital.

Georgetown Foodie Tour
Long before it became popular by the Kennedys and the home of high end retail and fashion, Georgetown was a working class port city pre-dating the Federal City of Washington DC. Its roots are still very much alive and can be seen in the red brick townhomes, and turn of the century factories that are found throughout the area. The Georgetown Foodie Tour takes you to the historic yet chic charm of Georgetown, an area that pre-dated Washington DC. You will be transported on this 3.5 hour tour across 250+ years of history, and enjoy flavors closely connected to the Northwest DC neighborhood.

From restaurants and shops running before prohibition, to swanky hotspots, this tour brings together some of the best this area has to offer.
