A 'Foodie Tour' Is The New Way To Explore Cape Cod

Reservations book up fast for food tours of Cape Cod, but it's worth the advance booking to have an authentic taste of New England.

Cape Cod is known for its exceptional beachfront properties and the small beachy towns which make it so charming. While its local cuisine is something of interest to visitors, it's not often the focal point when it comes between that and a day spent on the beach. However, it really should be - especially considering how much food visitors can experience with one of two great food tours.

From fresh seafood (of course) to local favorites that are part of Massachusett's history, there's nothing that's not to love about the food across Cape Cod. It's a great way to experience some of the region's best culinary delights, and the best part? It's super affordable for those wishing to get a taste of seaside New England.

What Can You Experience On A Cape Cod Food Tour?

It sounds like a dream, doesn't it? That's because it practically is. A food tour of Cape Cod encompasses all the best culinary attributes there are to love about this ocean-loving community. Along with a bit of flavor and traditional flair, food tour-takers will also learn the history of how many Cape Cod foods came to be. That, combined with local favorites, makes for a tour that's so much more than food sampling. To take a Cape Cod food tour is to go back in time and experience its colonial and historic culture.

Best-Rated: Hyannis Food Tour

The Hyannis Food Tour is the highest-rated tour in Cape Cod, and it's centrally located in the town of Barnstable. This small village might seem a bit on the tiny side to have such a highly-regarded food tour, but underestimate it not - this is where foodies will want to be for some great Cape Cod eats. This tour, specifically, focuses on locales that are 'off-the-beaten-path' when it comes to Cape Cod's more popular tourist stops. Those who are interested in a bit of Hyannis history and local eats will be perfectly happy with the stops they'll make along the way. A taste of fresh and local dishes and snacks is exactly what a Cape Cod food tour should be, and Hyannis is bringing it in a way that only Massachusetts can.

According to the Cape Cod foodie tours site, tour-takers can expect this from the Hungry in Hyannis tour:

The Hungry in Hyannis adventure gives tasty insight into the local food scene, after which you will be satisfied and "in the know!"

In addition, tour-takers will have the chance to sample seven unique curated foods, each of which will tell a story about the local culture of Hyannis and Cape Cod, in general. One example provided is the most iconic food of the region, New England clam chowder. In this instance, foodies will be able to enjoy a piping hot bowl of this rich chowder while overlooking the Cape Cod oceanfront. Tour-takers will also receive a digital food guidebook and map, as well as coupons to various dining establishments.

Private Food Tour

Those interested in incorporating a bit more intimacy into their food tour might be interested in doing a private tour, instead. These are easily booked through the Cape Cod food tours website and can accommodate up to 10 people (at the time of writing). Some of the occasions that Cape Cod Foodie Tours caters to are:

• Corporate Events
• Family Outings
• New Employee or Intern Socials
• Networking Groups
• Birthday Celebrations
• Bachelor & Bachelorette Wedding Parties
• Wedding Events

Those booking private tours should be aware that there is also an automatic 18% gratuity added to the tour, and tickets are non-refundable once they have been purchased. The tours themselves can be customized to suit a variety of needs, can last up to three hours, and are appropriate for anyone over the age of five years old.

Pricing for private tours starts at $56 per person, which can increase depending on the level of customization in the tour. Those interested in a personalized food tour of Cape Cod can email info@capecodfoodietours.com in order to book their tour.

*Note: Food tours in Cape Cod are seasonal, and interested tour-takers should book their tours well in advance in order to secure a spot. These tours sell out very quickly once Cape Cod is in the peak summer season!
