The ‘Hostess City of the South’ doesn’t disappoint when it comes to food. Yes, there’s all the traditional Southern cuisine battered and fried that’s oh-so-good, but ‘New South’ cuisine will surprise you with its classic ingredients prepared in creative ways. With so much to choose from, it can be overwhelming. A good solution is to sample it all, and there’s no better way than a good old fashioned food tour.

And every tour culminates with a stop at Paula Dean’s legendary The Lady and Son’s Restaurant.
Coffee and Chocolate Tour

Historical Drinking Tour of Savannah
Think of it as the classy version of a pub crawl. You’ll spend three leisurely hours learning some history as you sample some of the local libations through the Historic District. Sample a glass of Madeira wine with a cheese plate at Jazz’d Tapas Bar, then six different meads at Savannah Bee Company. After the mead, it’s mint julep time at 17Hundred90 Inn & Restaurant. Finally, you’ll finish with a bang with Savannah’s most famous drink – a glass of Chatham Artillery Punch at the Pirate’s House.
Haunted Pub Crawl and Ghost Tour
If Savannah is known for anything, it’s spirits – the ghoulish and drinking kind. Combine them both by exploring Savannah’s most haunted pubs, each complete with a creepy story. You’ll pick up your glow-in-the-dark to-go cups and head out to visit and enjoy four or five pubs while taking a detour now and then to visit some of Savannah’s most haunted sites.
