What you pack for a food tour will depend mostly on the weather in each destination. Beyond packing essentials like comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing, the only real necessity for a food tour is a big appetite. We also recommend bringing a reusable water bottle (to cleanse the palate between meals), and any necessary medications. It's also helpful to bring a notebook for jotting down recipes and culinary discoveries, and a small bag for carrying food purchases.
