Your group had an unforgettable experience they'll continue to rave about.

Choose from a wide variety of private experiences including:

 

Progressive Dining – We offer both lunch and evening progressive meals that take your group to some of the most notable restaurants in the city, with both refined and more casual itineraries available. (minimum 8 guests)

Happy Hour / Mingle – Our curated happy hours unfold across multiple venues, and are a great way for your group to bond over delicious food and drink. (minimum 10 guests)

Tasting Tours – These tours explore the city while enjoying tastes at up to 5-7 unique purveyors, and can be either neighborhood-focused walking tours or cultural diversity-focused van tours. (minimum 8 guests)

Foodie Scavenger Hunt – A traditional scavenger hunt with a twist! This activity provides all of the problem-solving excitement you’d expect, but with food and drink tastings intermingled. The hunt finishes with a prearranged happy hour offering drinks and a unique range of light apps. (minimum 20 guests)

The Fully Bespoke Experience – For when you want the best of the best! Our private event team has over a decade’s worth of practice in turning the most specific of client criteria into a fully customized and seamlessly orchestrated excursion, and nobody has more access to the best and most interesting food experiences the city has to offer.

We're excited to have you with us on this culinary journey through Central Ohio.

Welcome to Columbus Food Adventures!

We, Bethia Woolf and Andy Dehus, founded Columbus Food Adventures to share the incredible stories behind Columbus's diverse food scene. From gourmet institutions like The Refectory and Pistacia Vera to hidden gems like taco trucks and mom-and-pop eateries, our city has so much to offer.

Our passion began with websites like tacotruckscolumbus.com, alt.eats.columbus.com, and hungrywoolf.com, where we explored and reviewed local restaurants. In 2010, we launched Columbus Food Adventures, starting with three tours inspired by our discoveries. Today, we offer 11 unique tour experiences, foodie scavenger hunts, and custom tours.

Whether you're a lifelong Columbus resident or a visitor eager to taste the best the city has to offer, we hope our tours inspire you to appreciate the richness and diversity of our local food scene as much as we do.

Warm regards,

Bethia and Andy
