Explore flavours from award-winning chefs in a place where history meets creativity. This laid-back walking through the beautiful and historic Pearl District has all the flavour, stories, and fun you could want.

Just a couple miles from the heart of city centre San Antonio, the Pearl features dozens of unique shops and restaurants. Those of which were built inside of and surrounded by the original brewery structures of the 1800s. Learn about the area’s past, present, and future as you sample some of the diverse foods San Antonio has to offer.

We’ll begin at the old Boiler House for a taste of Texas Hill Country cuisine in a vintage setting. At the Larder, see where locals stock up on gourmet products for their homes. Then admire the industrial-chic vibes of Hotel Emma, remodeled but still hearkening back to its brewhouse history.

Take a break on the San Antonio River Walk to admire the scenery and learn about the river and its role in the food and beer scene of the city. It’s a pleasant stroll before we indulge in some of San Antonio’s best Mexican street food at La Gloria.

Our last history stop is a century-old yellow rail car with its own storey to tell about how it served the local brewery industry. Like any good food tour, we finish with something sweet. Lick Honest Ice Creams offers dairy-free and vegan options plus creative flavours like goat cheese, thyme, and honey or caramel salt lick.

With our unique pay-as-you-go model, you can enjoy more food for less money, a better value than comparable food tours. Simply hand the guide 30 dollars in cash on your arrival, and the guide will take care of the rest. They’ll pay for the entire group at each of our three food stops, minimising wait time.
