If you have received a gift certificate or have a discount membership please follow the instructions and enter the appropriate codes. If you are having any difficulties booking please contact Maysha at maysha@tasteofnewhaven.com.
How far in advance should I purchase tickets?
We recommend that you book a tour at least two weeks in advance. If you are booking a Private Tour we recommend booking at least four weeks in advance.
What are the food and drink stops?
Each tour has a different itinerary. Please check the individual tour page details.
How much food should I prepare to eat?
We usually have five to eight stops for food and drink tastings which equal the portion of a large meal.
Are all food and drinks included in the tour price?
Yes, we provide all food and drink tastes in the tour price. If you desire to have anything beyond our set menu it will be under a separate tab.
How long are the tours?
Tours usually last between 3-4 hours, although the Pizza Lovers Tour and the Pizza & Pints Bike Tour are 6-7 hours.
Where should I park?
Parking is suggested in different locations for each tour. You will receive instructions upon booking confirmation.
Is there a waiting list if a tour is sold out?
No, since there is limited capacity on each tour we do not offer a waiting list
Do you provide gift certificates and coupons?
Yes you can purchase gift certificates from us. Please contact Maysha at maysha@tasteofnewhaven.com for purchase info.
What is your refund, rescheduling or cancellation policy?
Since the tours are set up in advance and are limited in number we may charge a $20 fee for all rescheduling or cancellations within 48 hours of the tour. We will make exceptions to our refund policy for valid emergencies only.
Can you accommodate people with food allergies or dietary restrictions?
We will do our best to create a menu for you if we are given enough notice about your food allergy or dietary restriction. We will inform you in a case where we may not be able to accommodate this.
Should I tip the tour guide?
YES!!!! You should consider tipping your tour guide for their time and effort. Think of your guide as a mobile restaurant server so for a $65 ticket, $10 is a generous and appreciated amount.
Are the tours rain or shine?
We will hold the tours in most weather so please come prepared. We will reserve the right to cancel tours in the case of extreme weather. If we have your contact info we will try to give you at least 24 hours notice if this happens. In these cases we will work with you to reschedule you on another tour.

No, but you may request to bring your own translator.
Are pets allowed on the tour?
No, sorry you'll have to keep them at home.

What if I have to use the restroom?
Most of the tour stops have a restroom. We will try our best to keep you informed of when there is a restroom at a stop.
Are we allowed to use a camera during the tour?
Yes, we love photos, videos and audio!
Do you offer private group tours?
Yes, please contact Maysha at maysha@tasteofnewhaven.com about dates, locations and themes. We can help you organize groups anywhere from 8 or more people on tastings, progressive dinners or other food and drink oriented events. This is great for birthdays, corporate events, friends outings and reunions.
