About

Since 2011, Tasting Plates Food Tours has been offering self-guided culinary experiences in cities and neighborhoods across Canada and the USA. These tours take guests to a curated selection of participating restaurants, cafes, and food trucks, which they visit by walking, biking, driving, taking transit, or carpooling. We feature a variety of themed and neighborhood-focused tours, and also provide private corporate tours designed for team-building events and organizational outings.

In Canada, we have run our tours in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Squamish, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Ottawa. In the USA, we have run our tours in Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, Tucson, Austin, Dallas, Denver, Las Vegas and more.

Foodies get to experience some of the newest and tastiest offerings, eating new dishes, visiting new restaurants, meeting the chefs and making new friends along the way.

Participating restaurants offer tasting plates of their food to the guests, thereby showcasing their restaurant and promoting their food and chefs.

Tasting Plates is a chance for people to try something different, foods from restaurants, food trucks, cafés and bakeries.

Founded by Richard Wolak who also created Vancouver Foodster and Taste and Sip Magazine Events are produced by CMI Chat Media Inc which is also the parent company of Tasting Plates Food Tours.
