Sunny’s Local Tips and Bits:

Winter Park’s Park Avenue restaurants are often compared to the relaxing sidewalk cafes of Europe. But it’s not just the location and feel of the venues – an extraordinary number of European chefs have brought traditional recipes to create homemade dishes for their guest. Many of these culinary artists prepare samples at the stops on this tour!

If you have food allergies, please let Original Orlando Tours know when you receive your ticket confirmation. Adjustments will be made where possible.

    "OMG! Great food, great tour, great times!"
    We thought we knew Winter Park, but we found out how little we actually did know and we certainly didn't know some of these restaurants. I have a bunch of new favorites that we will be going back to. Loved learning the history of Winter Park too!

    My husband and I took the Winter Park Walking Food Tour for something different to do even though we live in Winter Park. We had so much fun playing tourists and learned new historical facts and new places to eat. So interesting! Loved that it’s a family business and several of them were part of the tour. Highly recommend for a fun and unique activity!!

    "Delicious (and safe)!"
    This was a perfect get out of the house for us. The stops were excellent and tasty and the stories about Winter Park along the way really added to the tour. I was impressed and at ease with the safety protocols (masks, temp checks, etc.). This was a nice break for us to get out and have some safe fun.

    "A+ And We Do Food Tours!!!"
    We do foodie tours every place we travel and this was one of our favorites, probably number 1! Why? Terrific guides who also used our time to give us context and background about Winter Park. A manageable walking route in a very beautiful town. Friendly hosts at each stop offering samples of really delicious food. And a 10% discount at the places we stopped all day. Dan, Michael and Sarah were really super guides - thank you all for making our day!

    We had a fun tour with food and local history. Knowledgeable guides pointed out historical buildings and took us to a number of food spots where we sampled macarons, gelato, olive oil, smoked salmon appetizers, and more! A great mix of local history AND delicious food!

  • "Tasty local tour!"
    The Flavors of the Winter Park Foodie Tour was a good time. The starting location was easy to find and even had complimentary electric vehicle parking. We were originally skeptical about a food walk in the July Central Florida heat, but the guides were fantastic about finding shade when they stopped to give us some local history. We really enjoyed the history of the Winter Park peacocks and why the town is called “Winter Park”. We wanted more of this. We visited seven different locations and all the sweets, beverages, and samples were tasty and of high quality. The tasting room was the highlight of the tour because the staff member not only provided a history of his products, but he provided versatile ways of using them. We tasted a salad, chips and dip, and ice cream there. The other highlight was a restaurant that provided a special mimosa and salmon chip. We also visited the Winter Park food market and sampled a Jamaican chicken patty. Four of the visits offered sweets. While this was a great tour for adults, families, and kids, I wish there were more filling, food items and less sweets. Would I go back for one of their other tours like the Mister Rogers tour, absolutely!

  • "Not The Winter Park I thought I knew"
    This tour was definitely top tier!! The options are great . It’s not too much walking. Just enough to help you keep up with the food you will be eating. Oh and there are drinks!!! I’ve definitely added some great restaurants to my list. The guides were amazing and informative. I recommend trying this tour out.

    "We had a great time!!"
    The Winter Park Foodie Tour was an amazing time to spend you day. I thought I knew a lot about Winter Park, but this tour open my eyes to the fun facts and historic buildings in the city. I certainly didn't know some of these restaurants and shop too. I have a bunch of new favorites places that we will be going back to. I loved the food tour and learning the history of Winter Park it made it worth the day spent.

  • "Tasty food tour of beautiful Winter Park!"
    We had such an incredible time at the walking food tour!! Everything is so close to each other and as were walking the staff provided us with information on winter park history with fun facts. The area is so nice too which makes it such a pleasant walk between places. The staff was incredible and went above and beyond to make sure we were all accommodated and satisfied. Dan is so kind and friendly! My favorite stop was at Blu! Lucky (the general manager) was so friendly and loved the wine tasting experience he did as well. If you're into exploring different flavors, you're going to enjoy the soda pop and taffy place. I highly recommend to try this tour!!

    My friend and I went for a food tour but we ended up loving the historical twist of it, in addition to the food. The guide was very knowledgeable about the city and gladly shared that knowledge with us. We enjoyed the stories so much that they became unexpected highlight of the tour.

    This tour was recommended to me and I wasn't sure what to expect. But my expectations were exceeded. THe tourguides, Rich and Michael, make a great partnership - swapping stories and providing a good mix of explaining the logistics of the tour as well as some fun facts about Winter Park. The tastings are a good mix of food and but the end of the tour no one is left hungry. There were a mix of salads, appetizers, desserts and drinks. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Very nice tour. I loved the guides: Michael and Rich. They had so much interesting historical information. If you take this tour, add on the Boat tour! I wish there was larger portions on some of the food but otherwise it was a great time.

    "A Fresh Perspective on Winter Park: A Must-Try Tour for Locals and Visitors"
    Though I’ve visited Winter Park many times, today felt like seeing it for the first time. Learning about its rich history and uncovering the stories behind familiar landmarks was an incredibly rewarding experience. The tour guides were not only knowledgeable but also patient, welcoming all of our questions with enthusiasm. A quick note: this tour offers small tastings of local spots you may have walked past before, so don’t expect a full meal. However, it’s a fantastic way to discover hidden gems and enjoy a little variety. Overall, it was a wonderful experience that I’d highly recommend to both locals and tourists!

    We had a nice tour in with guide Michael and Rich. The stories and history about Winter Park were so fun. Though we live close by, we had never known these stories in those buildings. The food includes a variety of kinds. The visiting space was reasonable and not in rush.

    "Hidden Gem!"
    I’ve lived in the area all my life and has no idea of all these hidden gems were so accessible! We loved meeting the business owners, learning the history of winter park, and even some fun facts about celebrities. I felt that I gained a lot of new spots to now share with my friends and family. I also tried things and loved it that I normally wouldn’t try. Such as the “bearded vegan”, I would have never knew I could love vegan food before going on this tour!

    "Would recommend to a friend "
    I went to this tour and I loved the tour due to the hidden gems that they show you. Have you ever heard of chocolate vinaigrette or a citrus flavored olive oil well this tour will definitely enlighten your flavor palette . The tour guides were friendly in a genuine way and did not rush you when you wanted to stay in the stores a bit longer. The tour goes by quickly because you are seeing so much and tasting so many new flavors and dishes. I honestly can’t wait to go to one in the future but this time with my mom because she loves learning new things and a really sweet wine.
