Homemade pastries, locally brewed wines, and rich fudge delight groups on the Julian walking tour. Once a cornerstone of the Gold Rush, Julian now greets its visitors with historic landmarks—including a pioneer cemetery— and apple orchards, which supplied their fruit as cannon ammunition during the Civil War. On the tour, guides pause at five to seven restaurants, such as Buffalo Bills, where groups can sample homemade sliders, and Bailey BBQ, which slow-cooks meat in a wood pit.

Bite San Diego

Bite San Diego’s epicurean guides steer groups toward the scents and sights of the city’s most notable restaurants, sharing morsels of local history along the way. Six different tours envelop groups in the flavors of multicultural cuisines. Guides can lead an appetizing charge through La Jolla, nibbling barbecue alongside coastal views, or meander through Hillcrest, pausing to sample pub fare from EmpireHouse, whose eclectic menu of college-educated burgers and breakfasts won San Diego CityBeat's Best New Restaurant Award in 2011. Though its primary focus is food, Bite San Diego's culinary excursions aren't restricted to just solid fare. Groups can taste local beer selections across San Diego's downtown, or achieve their lifelong dream of drinking something hot at House of Coffee & Tea, highlighted during the Old Town tour. At each stop, guides weave stories that paint a vivid picture of the neighborhood's past.
