Historic Village Food & Wine Tour in Carlsbad
Historic Village Food & Wine Tour
Stroll through Carlsbad Village to discover specialty shops and charming restaurants featuring Californian, Italian, and Mexican cuisine. Bask in the warm sunlight and taste your way through town, soaking up the coastal atmosphere as a professional guide provides insight into Carlsbad’s history, that is what Historic Village Food & Wine Tour is all about.
Meet up with your tour guide at the corner of State Street and Grand Avenue near the fountain, and then head out to explore the locally owned boutiques and Victorian architecture that make Carlsbad Village the heart and soul of Carlsbad, California.
Discover the area’s rich history as your guide takes you off the beaten path to share a local’s perspective of this coastal community.
As you traipse between old-fashioned storefronts and beloved eateries, sample some of Carlsbad’s finest culinary offerings and gourmet treats. Follow the tasty donuts from The Goods, taste peppery cold-pressed olive oils at Humble, and check out the delicious avocado toast at Choice Juicery. At Witch Creek Winery, swirl a glass of California wine, and at Gregorio’s Italian, sample classic bites like oven-fresh pizza or pasta. It wouldn’t be a food tour in SoCal without some Mexican fare—from Señor Grubby’s in this case—and your outing wraps up on a sweet note at Gelato Love or Strawberry Shack.
In 1883, Captain John Frazier tapped a mineral spring on his homestead in Carlsbad. This water was found to be very similar in composition to the Bohemian spa water of Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic or better known as Karlsbad. In English, it is sometimes called also Carlsbad (after the German name Karlsbad).
