Team Building Event in Carlsbad
 Team Building Event Review A great way to break free from a business trip!

We booked the food tour for about 15 of us and had a great time. Downtown Carlsbad is a cute little surfing village with lots of history, restaurants, and shops. We made stops at Caldo Pomodoro for their famous garlic bread, delicious marinara, giant meatball, and artichoke dip; Humble Olive Oils for their flavored oils and vinegars; Vigilucci's Gourmet Market for the most amazing fresh made pasta in vodka sauce and lots of treats available from Italy; Witch Creek Winery for a wine tasting and for those who didn't want wine, there was delicious coffee (I got the nitro pour cold brew- delish!); Gregorio's Italian Restaurant had awesome eggplant sliders; Sub Zero Ice Cream was a real treat, frozen with Nitrogen and boy does it deliver on flavor! We had to skip Senor Grubby's pork tacos because we were on a time crunch, but the last stop was the Carlsbad Chocolate Bar and it did not disappoint. Everyone had a great time and there was truly something for every appetite! Thanks again from all of at the Laboratory Products Association!

Food & Wine Tour Team Building Event Awesome tour!

Group of 8 went on this food and wine tour for work team building event. Ben was our guide and we all had a great time. Super interesting information - especially loved to hear about all the cool art around town. The food was delicious and definitely recommend going hungry because you will be stuffed at the end. Thank you for wonderful afternoon!

Office Private Group Experience Most enjoyable tour!

Our office had great fun on this food tour and had six food stops (about half dessert, half savory). But easily the most enjoyable part of the tour was learning about the history of Carlsbad from our tour guide, David. He presented the story in such an engaging and well thought out manner, and covered so many interesting dimensions of Carlsbad's historical uniqueness. In terms of logistics, both David (our tour guide) and Cherimarie (Carlsbad Food Tours contact) were responsive and professional - it was just an exceptional experience all around! Thank you!
