Any recs? Are they a thing to do in your city or more on the cheesy side? We come to SF every few years and want to try something new -- Thanks all!

    Anyone been on a good food tour lately? Most of the above don't seem to be available in November.

      I think it might be seasonal. While SF and NorCal doesn't have 4 seasons, November is when rainy season begins and people flake with rain. Just a guess...a tour that takes a deposit might be better.

      Also there's Wok Wiz that does a Chinatown tour. I've never been but it gets good reviews. Might be too basic but they'll customize things according to the website. http://www.wokwiz.com/

        I've done the Wok Wiz tour and it's great. Tons of culture and history. I've recommended it to everyone who mentions they're going to SF

        November is a good time of year for wine tasting events.

          Thanks. Most look dark this week which I don't get. Man, if I was in the service industry, you can be sure, I would WORK when people are on holiday and go on holiday another time. Seems that SF can use a real good Culinary Tour for real foodies. The closest to what I was looking for was the tapas one, but that's been closed for months. Sigh! But thanks all!

            There's a tour of North Beach called Tapas Walk hosted by Keven Hogan, who's the wine guy at Spanish Table in Berkeley. I found out about it only because I saw him with his group at a bar:

              This looked great, Robert, you're a wonderful source but alas they haven't been in production since the end of October.

                I guess he does them only during Daylight Savings Time.
