Fabulous Foodie Tour of Lexington

We love travel. And we also love food at the many locations we visit. So it makes sense for us to look for great restaurants and to find people to share their fabulous eating locations with us. So, foodie tours were found on one of our many trips and we found that we love them! Have someone local walk around town with us talking and eat their local wonderful specialties – what could be better?

You can check out some of our fabulous foodie experiences here and see some of the fabulous food we have been scarfing down here – https://www.wanderlustwonder.com/foodie-reviews/ So when I was scrolling through Facebook one morning to keep up with all the fascinating news, I was thrilled to see that we actually had a foodie walking tour right here in Lexington.

Bites of the Bluegrass is a wonderful walking tour of Lexington and includes introduction to the area and several stops at wonderful local restaurants in the downtown area. We were so excited that they were generous enough to share two walking foodie tours with me and my game but cheerful husband Tom. Erin was our wonderful hostess for this tour and she was so friendly, nice and willingly answered questions about the area and things to do from members of our group.

We met at the old courthouse which was easy to find and our little group was all clustered together in one area and very easy to locate and join to start our tour. Erin spent some time introducing us to each other and talking about the variety of folks in our group. We weren’t the only ones who lived in the area and it was fun spending time getting to know the other travelers.

We headed out of the courthouse and walked to our first restaurant stop. Erin talked to us for the entire tour, explaining the history of each area and the different restaurants we visited. I had some problems with my back but there was always a place for me to plunk down and take a little rest so it was no problem. We stopped at our first restaurant and all headed inside to see the restaurant and to have a delicious and wonderful bite to eat. They had some food waiting for us on the tables and, as we finished, they brought out some more fabulous bites. Erin introduced the restaurant owners and they welcomed us to their restaurant. It was really nice and we enjoyed every bite!

After we finished eating, we headed out the door for another walk and a different restaurant experience. For the next couple of hours, we visited several different restaurants and walked all over downtown Lexington with Erin entertaining us the whole time. Tom has lived in Lexington his whole life and I came to the University of Kentucky and never left but we both learned more about Lexington that we never knew.

If you want to see downtown Lexington and experience some wonderful restaurants, you should take this tour or one of the many others they offer. The are just getting started in offering some tours of the surrounding towns as well so ask about them as well. I hope you enjoy the tours as much as we did!
