Specialties
The Palatetours offers a one-of-a-kind progressive dining experience across Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Unlike a traditional food tour, our curated tasting tours take you on a culinary journey where each course is enjoyed at a different restaurant. From appetizers at one local gem to entrées and desserts at others, you’ll savor a full multi-course meal while exploring the area’s best dining spots. Every tour includes roundtrip transportation and between locations when necessary, so you can relax and enjoy the evening without worry. Perfect for date nights, group outings, or special celebrations, The Palatetours delivers an elevated, stress-free way to experience the DMV food scene.
History
Established in 2025.
In 2025, I founded The Palatetours to share my love of incredible food, unforgettable flavors, and memorable dining experiences I’ve enjoyed throughout Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV).
For years, my husband John and I would discover a new restaurant, take a bite of an unforgettable dish, and immediately say, “We have to tell our friends about this place!” That joy of discovery and sharing — combined with a trip to Bermuda where I experienced a tasting tour in action — sparked the idea behind these curated tasting tours.
At The Palatetours, we don’t just connect food lovers to great meals — we connect them to stories, to communities, and to one another. Whether you’re tasting the latest chef-driven creations or revisiting beloved local legends, every tour is thoughtfully designed to celebrate flavor, culture, and togetherness.
