  Our book club took the tour on Sunday. What a fun afternoon! Even though we live nearby, there were restaurants on the tour that we had never been to. Each restaurant presented a delicious house specialty and we got to meet and speak with some of the chiefs. The timing in each spot was perfect. I also enjoyed hearing about the rich history behind of the buildings we were in and around town. My favorite restaurant ended up being one I have never tried, and I already have plans to go back. This a great outing for people who live locally.

  This is a wonderful tour which will start up again next spring. Put it on your schedule if you are in the area visiting Longwood, Winterthur, Brandywine River Museum. Well organized, nicely explained history of the own and visited establishments. These local entrepreneurs are so welcoming and put out their best in small, but substantial bites of their menues ... beautifully presented. A special afternoon with members of our nearby gourmet group.

  This tasting tour of Kennett Square is a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Our host Ann, is very well-versed in the cuisines, culture and history of this quaint town. We sampled Italian, Asian, Mexican, American and mushroom (Kennett is the mushroom capital of the world!) cuisines. There was a nice wine pairing with some tasty crepes. We enjoyed the time that some of the chefs spent with our group sharing their love of food, particularly at Portabella. Included in the tour is a stop at The Mushroom Cap shop where we learned everything there is to know about mushrooms and found lots of things to buy. Really enjoyed the stop at Michocana Ice Cream, where we were introduced to corn ice cream...yum! You won't leave this tour hungry!

  Took this tour yesterday with my husband. What a great way to experience Kennett Square. Our host, Anne, gave us a walking tour of two wineries, six restaurants, a mushroom store, history of the town, and ice cream at the end of the tour. It was a fun afternoon sampling so much food, and we didn't leave hungry. Met a lot of nice people who were taking the tour with us. It was very enjoyable. Thank you, Anne.

  On Sunday afternoon my husband and I enjoyed the Taste of Kennett experience. For $45.00 each we spent three hours on a walking tour of historic Kennett Square (the entire walk being only about one mile) with stops which included restaurants where we sampled delicious food and two local winery wine stores where we were able to sample some Pennsylvania produced wines. Along the way Ann, our tour guide, shared many interesting historical facts of Kennett Square. If you are looking for a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon, give this a try. I don't think you will be disappointed!

  Our gaggle of 15 friends had a ball. We learned so much about the history of the town and background of the restaurants and businesses. Ann did her homework and is quite the historian. The wine and food tasting is over the top in taste, variety and quantity. Definitely go hungry.

  Let me start by saying that my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tour. Each of the restaurants provided wonderful tastings of their signature dishes, some of the tastings extremely generous, others more than sufficient. There was not one item that was less than tasty or less than well-prepared. The restaurants did a great job!! Our disappointment was with the wine samples. The first one was very tiny, maybe 2 ounces at most. We were told we could purchase a full glass if we wished ...not what I wanted to hear at our first stop. There were no other wines until we got to Paradocx where we received a bit more generous glass, but definitely a "tasting" size, not a full glass.Our tour guide, Ann, was very personable and seemed very familiar with the restaurants, their house specialties, etc. She also shared a bit of Kennett Square history, just enough for my husband and me, although history buffs might have yearned for a bit more.At $45 a person, this tour was a good value and I can heartily recommend it. My only two criticisms are (1) It was a little stingy on the wine side and (2) By the time it was over, the shops that had been open were closed, so we couldn't really do any "after tour" shopping in the area.

  My friends and decided to have a girls get away. I found out about the food tour on tripadvisor. Our tour guide Ann was very knowledgable about the town, the buildings and the people. The food was delicious!! Each resturant presented their dishes. Even though it was a tasting at each resturant, we were stuffed! I have recommended this too my friends and family.

  This was an excellent tour! Ann, our guide, was friendly and enthusiastic. She included a bit of history on the way to each of our stops. She did a great job of speaking loud enough for all to hear or stopping by each table to speak in the dining spots where our group was spread out. Participants were given name tags and there were lots of opportunities for mingling amongst each other, making it a great choice for couples or singles who weren't going with a group of friends.The cuisine was varied and was more food than I expected. We were always told a bit of history about the restaurant and explained what we were eating. At some of the restaurants, the chefs would speak about their preparations, whereas other places just served the food and Ann would tell us what we were having. I would highly recommend noting any dietary requirements when you sign up, as it seems that many of the chefs delight in creating whatever their guests need. There is some walking on this tour but the stops are arranged so that no more than a few blocks walking is ever done at once. We were given water bottles to carry (and Ann faithfully reminded us to bring them with us as we left each stop!) . Two stops included wine tasting, a few places put out water glasses but others did not so the water was appreciated. We were usually at each stop about 15-20 minutes, which gave us enough time to eat our food but not feel rushed. The restaurants were all very prepared for the tour because at most stops we were served very promptly. Reservations are required but the tour was not sold out when we booked a week in advance. Registration is easy and communications before the tour are clear. Parking was easy to locate and free. Come hungry, although you won't be by the end of the tour.

  A bit daunting to think of spending 3 hours on a beautiful Sunday afternoon strolling and tasting, BUT we were so rewarded! Ann, our host, was charming and knowledgable about the food and the Kennett Square area. The foods we tasted (LOTS of it, but we ate almost every bite) were amazing. An array worthy of any foodie--tacos, pasta, crepes, sushi, soups, mushrooms many ways, seafood, just enough wine, ice creams, and a most welcome coffee at the end. Kennett Square is fortunate to have so many diverse, gourmet restaurants--we met many of the chefs, who were passionate about their offerings and their work. Highly recommend----a real bargain--you won't need dinner.
