What you'll do

We hope you brought an appetite! Milwaukee has a culinary scene unlike any other — one rooted in the city's rich immigrant history, its legendary brewing and dairy traditions, and a vibrant Latin food culture that has shaped the South Side for over a century.

 

On our Secret Food Tour: Milwaukee, our expert guides will take you through the city's most storied neighborhoods, uncovering the history and culture behind every bite. From award-winning artisan dairy to a beloved German beer hall, a Latin street food gem, a Great Lakes fish fry, and a decadent frozen finish — after an afternoon with us, you'll talk about Milwaukee food like a true local.

 

And if all of that doesn't convince you, "The Fonz" gives this tour a double thumbs up! AYYY!

SEE ITINERARY

We kick off the tour at one of Milwaukee's most iconic specialty food shops, a true institution of Wisconsin dairy. Expect your taste buds to be surprised from the very first bite, including the secret dish of the tour!
Next, step into Milwaukee's original German beer hall, straight out of Bavaria. You'll explore the city's legendary brewing heritage and become a self-proclaimed expert on wursts.
We then head to a beloved Latin spot where over a century of immigrant history meets bold, street-food flavors. This stop is a window into one of Milwaukee's most vibrant and enduring cultural communities.
No Milwaukee food tour would be complete without a proper fish fry. We visit a legendary fish counter inside one of the city's most celebrated food markets for a taste of a true Friday-night tradition.
Still inside the market, we make a second stop for one of Wisconsin's most beloved comfort foods, golden, squeaky, and absolutely impossible to resist.
We wrap up the tour on a sweet note with a scoop from one of Milwaukee's most acclaimed small-batch ice cream makers. The flavor? A frozen ode to Wisconsin's most iconic cocktail.

Upgrade your Secret Food Tour: Milwaukee, experience with two drink selections chosen to pair with the food you'll be served. You must be 21 and older and have a valid ID.

Milwaukee is known by many names; Brew City, City of Festivals, and Cream City, but it's recognized most as one of the best places for great beer and cheese in the Upper Midwest. The 19th century Germanic population has continued to have wide influences on our local dishes, with some of the best restaurants being in the historic Third Ward to East Town Downtown. On our Secret Food Tours: Milwaukee, you'll get to experience and enjoy all the best we have to offer in this gem of the Midwest.
