Our tours are geared more toward adults, however, well-behaved children may join us with a paid ticket. The tour is 3-3.5 hours long and involves standing, walking, and listening. Some children have a limited attention span; therefore the tour may not be appropriate for them. Parents, who know their children best, should consider this and assess their situation individually.

We are unable to accommodate children who are not included in your paid reservation. All participants are required to have a ticket purchased in advance, even if they do not wish to participate in food tastings.
