Food Tours Offer a Delicious Taste of Lancaster
One of the best (and most delicious) ways to immerse yourself in a vacation spot is to get a taste of the local cuisine. In Pennsylvania Dutch Country, the traditional food is wholesome, comforting and flavorful. Shoofly pie, chicken corn soup, apple butter, chow-chow, beef and noodles are just a few of the delicacies associated with Lancaster food culture. But there's so much more! During your next stay at After Eight Bed & Breakfast, we invite you to "kumme esse" (come eat in Pennsylvania Dutch) and explore the local food scene with a guided food tour.
Lancaster Food Tours and LoKal Experiences both offer culinary adventures that will introduce you to unbeatable country cooking while also exposing you to some of Lancaster's new food passions. Sure, you'll sample great food, but you'll also gain insight about local history, culture and architecture from knowledgeable guides as your tour moves from stop to stop.
Transcend 200 years of food traditions with a three-hour tour from Lancaster Food Tours.

Enjoy small-town charm on the Come Eat Lititz Tour, where food and history meet with stops at Sturgis Pretzel Bakery and Wilbur Chocolate. The Market and Beyond Tour helps you discover the tastes of downtown Lancaster and concludes at the historic Lancaster Central Market, the country's oldest farmers market. Take your culinary adventure to the next level with the Chef's Table Tour to explore some of the finest and most acclaimed restaurants in downtown Lancaster.
