Tasting Vallarta

Grab a bite, grab a cocktail, and grab a seat. If you’re looking for a sit-down experience at some of Vallarta’s finest restaurants, you’ve found your tour.

Who says authentic can’t be high-end? Come one, come all, and come especially Vallarta newcomers! Join us on a dining tour of four of PV’s award-winning restaurants where you will join locals to sample some of Puerto Vallarta’s finest fare… and some of its most libelous libations!*

On this tour, we’ll get our gourmet on as we…

  • Sample high-end versions of both purely local cuisine, and fusion fare so creative it’s almost a local creation in its own right
  • Stop in at (depending upon the time of year) the sumptuous local eateries of Layla’s, No Way Jose, Casa Tradicional, Gaby’s, DeCantero and Vitea
  • Enjoy sit-down samplings at restaurants, and return later for spectacular full-course meals

The Tasting Vallarta Tour is offered on Thursdays and Saturdays. Tours are limited to 6-8 guests unless they are one larger group of friends or family. Groups of six or more are offered private tours at no additional charge— Contact us in advance.  If you don’t see a date that works for you, contact us and we may be able to make it happen!

And so you know, past guests tell us the best time to take our tours is the beginning of your stay in Puerto Vallarta — you’ll be able to return to your newly found favorites throughout the rest of your visit!

All that fancy food got your mouth watering? Then save yourself a seat at the table and reserve your spot today!

Note: that with advance notice we can schedule another Tasting Vallarta, and depending upon the time of year, we can accommodate larger groups. Email or call us for more information
