Farmers Market Food Tour
When you’re visiting Los Angeles, the Original Farmer’s Market is a must-see! This time-tested market reflects the melting pot and dynamism of LA. Just like the City of Angels, it’s a multicultural tapestry created by people of all colors and cultures! This beautiful indoor market is the oldest in California. On this fun and delicious tour, we’ll learn about the history and impact of this market while feasting on a variety of tasty foods and exploring bright culinary gems of Los Angeles.
Learn about the dynamic history of the world famous corner of 3rd and Fairfax—from dairy farm to oil field to LA’s must-see shopping and dining destination. The Original Farmers Market is not only Hollywood’s favorite place to hang out, but also one of the show-biz industry’s favorite locations. TV chefs Alton Brown and Gordon Ramsay have featured the Market several times on their shows. The hit HBO series Entourage ended with a segment at the Market, and Jimmy Kimmel often engages Market customers in quirky segments on his late-night talk show. Stroll through the halls to discover new spices and delectable foods from around the world. Your guide will be there to enhance your experience and understanding of the cultures that make up the mosaic of this amazing place. This tour truly embraces the openness and acceptance that is LA.
