Georgetown 5 tastings food tour with half smoke in Washington DC

+8 photos
Cobblestone streets, historic row houses, and decades of food tradition set the scene for this walking tour through Georgetown, one of Washington, D.C.'s most iconic neighbourhoods. Taste your way from a bakery famous for fresh pita and hummus to a longtime butcher shop serving Washington's classic handmade half-smoke, then on to a farm-to-table taco loaded with seasonal flavour near the Georgetown waterfront.Along the route, guests pass the former home of Julia Child, the historic C&O Canal, Blues Alley jazz club, and the Old Stone House, the oldest unchanged building in the city. The tour wraps up with a seasonal cupcake from a local favourite bakery and a mystery secret dish, revealed only on the day. Secret Food Tours keeps groups small, up to 12 guests, and led by a local guide, so every stop feels personal across five tastings and roughly three hours of stories, history, and flavour.
