Taste of Troy Food Tours is Back!

After COVID kept us from walking around and tasting great food, Taste of Troy Food Tours is back in Albany and Troy!

Taste of Troy Food Tours LLC is delighted to announce the return of its two flagship food tours in Albany and Troy for the 2021 season and the launch of the new E.A.T. (Eclectic Albany Tastes) tour. All of the tours have been revamped and will be restarting on June 4th.

• Season three of the successful Historic Downtown Albany Food Tours on the first, third, and occasional fifth Fridays, 12:30-3:30 p.m., June – October

The tour ends in time for guests to further explore and shop the Troy market.

The newest tour in Albany, offered on the second and fourth Fridays from June through October, will highlight many of the diverse cuisines and cultures that have made a home in Albany and some of the amazing historical features and heritage sites on the route: Historic Albany Warehouse, Underground Railroad Education Center and Ten Broeck Mansion. Featured tastes will be: • Sovrana’s • Oaxaquena Triqui • Rolf’s Pork Store • Allie B’s Cozy Kitchen • Roy’s Caribbean • Albany Distilling Co. • Cider Belly Doughnuts.
