In Sacramento, this tour from Local Roots Food Tours traces the city’s beginnings — from Sutter’s colony Nueva Helvecia to contemporary food tastings at hidden local gems. As you walk through neighbourhood streets, you will hear how diverse immigrant communities helped forge the city and build its agricultural strength, all while you eat, drink and stroll.
Along the way, typical tastings may include a croque monsieur with baked ham and gruyère, chef-selected artisan cured meats and cheeses, chocolate crinkle cookies, grilled pork spring rolls, a bahn mi chicken sandwich with fresh vegetable toppings, and fresh-roasted organic coffee with unique blends. Groups are kept to no more than 14 people, and special dietary needs can be met with prior notice, so you can focus on the flavours and stories rather than logistics. The experience combines local history, food culture and neighbourhood discovery for a relaxed, flavour-led introduction to Sacramento’s roots.
