©Meet Minneapolis Food Tasting
Taste Twin Cities Tour
Total time: 1:45 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.: 2 hours for tour
Note: This is a guided walking tour of downtown Minneapolis. The group will depart the Minneapolis Hilton promptly at 2:00 p.m. to begin the tour. Dietary restrictions can be accommodated for the food tastings.
Join us as we weave our way through the skyscrapers of downtown Minneapolis on an adventure! We will stroll through the “Broadway” Theatre District and view a building that was recognized in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest structure ever moved on rubber-wheeled dollies. Enjoy VIP service at some of the newest and hottest award-winning restaurants downtown, then sample and learn the art of beer-making with a local brewery. The tour also includes seeing the Minneapolis skyscraper that was modeled after the Washington Monument and visiting the tallest building in Minneapolis. Along the way we will also stop by quaint eateries that have pride in local ownership, including one that has been a favorite since 1932. You’ll leave the tour with a tasty experience of some of the best food finds Minneapolis has to offer — all while learning the history of downtown and soaking in the local culture.
