Rhinebeck Village culinary crawl

The village is a lovely place to wander, with its outdoor cafes, bluestone sidewalks, elegant shopping and beautifully restored historic buildings.

Our  culinary walking tour of Rhinebeck offers a fine meander, along with bites of culture, history and Rhinebeck’s best flavors.

diverse

For such a quaint little village, Rhinebeck has a wide variety of styles of cuisine, from New American Bistro to Thai, from French to barbecue, from health food to cozy wine bars and taverns. The Rhinebeck Farmers Market is consistently voted best in the Valley, and the annual Taste of Rhinebeck fundraiser for the Northern Dutchess Hospital Foundation draws nearly 500 tasters; if you taste around town at all, you’ll see why. 

The village has 30 edible spots: eateries, bakeries, wine shops and candy and chocolate stores, and your tour guide will help you touch down at the best of them, getting to to know some of the chefs, owners and staff, who have stories to tell and will entice you with their tastiest treats.

"I had such a great time on this food tour ... We were welcomed everywhere we went and treated to such wonderful food and drink.  Jennifer is a wonderful guide.  She provided lots of history of Rhinebeck as we strolled along ... We left with a full belly and a happy heart.  Highly recommended."      --Dana B.

“Rhinebeck is a charming town and our tour guide enhanced the experience by filling us in on some of the local history. The shop owners were glad to see us and bent over backwards to welcome us … We walked, ate and drank our way through Rhinebeck. It is a wonderful way to spend a day .”
