“Culinary Comforts” is an exploration of the tastes and flavours of the artisan food & drink products from the best of Bath’s culinary entrepreneurs!  We’ll explore a diverse range of independent businesses to sample their wares, and we’ll share their inspiring stories alongside the anecdotes of our city’s culinary heritage.

This tour is the latest addition to our repertoire of culinary sampling tours, and it has been especially created to ensure our usual high value and personable experience, whilst accommodating social distancing restrictions as they remain in place.  Like all the tours in our repertoire, there’ll be a curated selection of food & drink to sample from our friendly culinary artisans operating across the city, showcasing the best of Bath’s handcrafted food & drink, the total sum of which represents a meal.  The range of suppliers we visit will change from one tour to the next, and we’ll accommodate as many of your requests as we can based on what you tell us when you book your tickets.
