The American Southwest has a very rich history for many reasons, which most definitely includes the amazing food and culture of the area. While many people purchase Scottsdale real estate after retiring for the fantastic year round climate, the Southwest culture of the area makes people glad they bought a Scottsdale home, rather than one in Florida.

One great way to experience all of the amazing food that the residents and tourists of Scottsdale have enjoyed since the wild west days is with a food tour from Arizona Food Tours. The Taste of Old Town Scottsdale tour is a walking tour that not only provides you with a wide variety of food to enjoy from various locales, but also teachers you about the rich history of the Scottsdale area.

This specific tour lasts three hours long and starts with an historical look at the wild west days, how the city was established, and how the city today is different from the Scottsdale of years past. In addition to stopping at eateries, the tour will allow you to stop at some “mom and pop” shops that often get overlooked in favor of the fancy boutiques that Scottsdale is more ...
... known for. It is a great way to support the local economy, while getting a taste of history.

Some of the food spots on the tour include saloons that have catered to cowboys for many years, making it a truly authentic western watering hole. There are also specialty food shops like Outrageous Olive Oils and Vinegars, where tour guests will be allowed to taste various oils.

One fun thing about the tour is that there will be demonstrations at many of the stops along the way, giving participants an idea of how things are made at that particular eatery and, of course, the chance to try some samples of the different types of food, whether it be home-style cooking or ice cream infused with alcohol. The latter can be found at Lee’s Cream Liquor, a popular stop on the tour.

The Scottsdale food walking tour is not just fun for locals. It is a great way to spend a few hours if you are visiting or have company in town. It is an excellent chance to share the rich history that the area has to offer, but in a setting that is a bit more fun and exciting that a typical trip to a museum or even out to dinner at a restaurant. Because they will be able to experience lots of different eateries, it will really be a trip to remember.

For more information on the Taste of Old Town Scottsdale tour or other fun tours that you can participate in with the Arizona Food Tours, be sure to visit their website. It will certainly be a memorable and tasty experience for all those who participate and something that may turn you on to a new favorite place to eat that you never even new existed in the city of Scottsdale.
