South Florida Chef-Led Dining Experiences
something a little different
Our Exclusive Experiences
At South Florida Food Tour, we’re excited to introduce something a little different… our Culinary Experiences.
Unlike our walking food tours, which guide you through multiple restaurants and tastings, Experiences offer an intimate, one-of-a-kind culinary event centered around a single location.
Each Experience brings you up close with the chef, offering a thoughtfully curated multi-course menu in a private or semi-private setting. It’s an opportunity to slow down, savor each bite, hear the stories behind the dishes, and connect with the passion and creativity of South Florida’s most talented culinary artists.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply seeking something extraordinary, our Experiences are designed to deliver unforgettable moments you won’t find anywhere else.

Private chef experiences are among the fastest-growing trends in culinary tourism
More travelers now choose private dining events over group restaurant reservations for a more personalized, memorable experience.
You don’t have to travel far for an unforgettable food experience! A private tasting event with a local chef can feel just as exclusive as dining at a Michelin-starred restaurant and you get front-row access to the artistry.
Guests remember interactive experiences 70% longer than standard dinners. That’s why a live chef performance combined with a custom tasting menu becomes a night people talk about long after it’s over.
