Fort Wayne Food Tours Boasts Unique Experience

The city’s first culinary and culture tour, which combines local food with historic, architectural, and artistic & cultural commentary, has scheduled its 2022 partners and tour dates. Tours will run on select Saturdays from May through early October. Amber Bouthot purchased the business in late 2019 and enjoyed a sold-out season in 2021, the first year back after the pandemic shut tours down in 2020.

2022 dates are now live on the website: www.fortwaynefoodtours.com. Tickets are $70 per person for the walking tour, which includes stops at 4 locally owned downtown restaurants: Don Hall’s Gashouse, The Hoppy Gnome, Proximo and Debrands. Tours begin and end at Don Hall’s Gashouse where guests may park.
