Bristol Harbour A Food Tour Through Time

Discover the story of Bristol harbour through the food and drink that was traded here over the course of nine hundred years on this unique food and history tour.

We'll start your story around 1000 years ago, when the first imports arrived in the settlement of Brigstowe, slowly making your way to the 19th Century, when trade into the city of Bristol no longer made it past Avonmouth dock. This history will be brought to life, not only by your brilliant tour guide, but in the amazing flavours of local restaurants and bars. You'll enjoy two delightful tastings, one beautiful sit down meal and two fabulous drinks tastings, as we tell the story of how Bristol grew from a small town, to the city we know and love today.

We'll walk through the historic heart of Bristol discovering the historical significance of many iconic places.

Each of your stops is a business with a story to tell. We only work with the best Bristol independents and always spotlight good ethics and sustainability.
