We did the Taste of Winchester food and history tour today for my husband, Mike Gooden's birthday. It was very informative and enjoyable! Our hosts, Misty and Anthony, knew all of the restaurant owners and provided a wonderful way for us to try the different ethnic and American options right there on the pedestrian walkway...places we wouldn't have really noticed otherwise. We highly recommend the tour, especially if you are looking to expand the list of restaurants you frequent!

The Wife and I went on the Inaugural Beer tour and it was Great and we plan to grab some friends and come back for a few more tours. The Guides were great and very knowledgeable about the history of Old Town Winchester and we enjoyed their company.
