It is helpful to determine whether or not the guest is able to walk a mile (with intermittent stops for tasting locations) and stand for about 15 minutes at a time at two different stops.

Can we shop on the tour?
Absolutely! The tour time has been scheduled to allow for some quick shopping at the retail destinations. We even provide you with a shopping bag to take back your tasty goodies.
What if it is raining?
Juneau is located in the beautiful Tongass National Forest, which is the largest temperate rainforest in the world. We tend to get quite a bit of rain. This is what makes Juneau and Southeast Alaska so beautiful. Locals refer to the rain as “liquid sunshine.” We encourage guests to wear a lightweight rain jacket because rain or shine, we will dine!
What is included in the tour?
All food, wine pairing, and beer tasting are included. Each tour participant is given a shopping bag with tour information, recipes, and coupons for shopping.
OK, so food is included. How much food?
Each tour is designed to provide enough food for a hearty lunch, yet not leave participants so full that they cannot enjoy the rest of their visit in Juneau.
I am visiting by cruise ship. Am I allowed to take food purchases back onboard the cruise ship?
Each cruise line has different rules and regulations about bringing food onboard. Any open containers, agricultural products, and items that are not pre-packaged are generally not allowed. We recommend that you check with your ship for customs policies.
What about food allergies?
We will try our best to work with your food allergies or restrictions. Seafood and shellfish are served on this tour, as are meats and cheeses. Please let us know in advance if there are any issues or concerns. We can accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, and lactose intolerant.
Is alcohol served on the tour?
Yes. One tasting has a wine pairing and our final tasting will be locally brewed beer. For our guests ages 12-20, we will have iced tea or a soft drink available.
Is the tour wheelchair accessible?
Juneau is a mountainside city and our tour includes traversing some inclined streets. We encourage participants to gauge their own abilities as to whether these issues will be barriers. This tour is wheelchair accessible and wheelchairs and motorized scooters are acceptable. Due to the pace of the tour, we do not recommend walkers.

Please thank Matt for a wonderful afternoon..he is a great guide. Tour was a great way to start to our visit as we ate at three of the restaurants later and shopped at both food stores. Matt is very low key, but offered great advice on our stay and seemed really interested in what would interest us.

Enjoyed learning a little bit about the town & trying some of the local food, especial the hog wing "the best". Although it would have been just as easy for us to walk off the ship & walk around we wouldn't have learnt as much.

A fun way to sample a variety of foods from some very cool places and get some history of Juneau along the way. Well organized so that when we got to each spot the restaurant was prepared for us. Quite a variety of tastes and types of food. A great way to spend some time in the city.
