Our food tasting and cultural walking tour was developed with food and history lovers in mind. While we do offer a child ticket, the tour is three hours long. Some children have a limited attention span, can be fidgety and may not fully appreciate the tour. It is possible that their disinterest could interfere with the exciting experience that Taste Frederick has carefully crafted for you. However, some children and adolescents may love the tour. Parents, who know their children best, should assess the situation individually and decide whether the tour is appropriate for your child. Please note that infants or small children who will not be participating in the food tastings do not need a ticket, but please let us know they will be attending with you by including a “Message to the Seller” when purchasing your tickets.
All of our tours are held rain or shine. In the event of inclement weather, we will be able to go inside many of the establishments on the tour. We will not be outside for the entire 3 hours. You should still dress appropriately for the day’s weather conditions. Before purchasing tickets please be aware of the possible weather conditions for that time of year.
We ask that you wait to shop until after the tour so that we can stay on schedule and continue with the tour and food tastings in a timely manner. We strongly suggest you allow time at the end of the tour to return to your favorite locations and/or stores.
We recommend casual, comfortable, weather-appropriate attire.
We are on our feet for approximately 3 hours. We cover a lot of information and ground so we do walk at a moderate place. There are a few opportunities to sit down throughout the tour. Please wear comfortable shoes.
Taste Frederick does not include gratuities in the cost of our tour. Gratuities are greatly appreciated, although not mandatory.
There are 6 stops for food tastings on our tours. For most people there is enough food that lunch afterwards is not necessary.
Yes, we are only able to offer tours in English at this time. If you would like to make arrangements for your own interpreter to join the tour, please contact us.
Two of our tastings do include a beverage, including an alcoholic beverage tasting for those 21 and older. We do however encourage participants to bring along a bottle of water and don’t forget to bring your ID in order to participate in the alcohol tasting. Please notify us when purchasing your ticket if yourself or members of your party are not 21 or you would prefer an alternative to the beer tasting.

We will do our best to make food substitutions for those with food allergies (such as gluten free or dairy free) but substitutions may not be available at all tasting locations. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please note, not all of our tastings include things with dairy or wheat in them and you are still welcome to take the tour, we just ask that you refrain from those tastings that do.
