Activity itinerary

Denver Union Station

Your City centre Dinner Tour begins inside Denver’s beautifully restored Union Station, a landmark that has welcomed travellers, locals and hungry explorers for more than a century. Guests will meet their local foodie guide in the heart of this historic transport hub, where soaring windows, grand architecture and the buzz of city centre Denver set the tone for a memorable night out. Before heading to the first tasting, your guide will gather the group, make introductions and share a little background on Union Station’s transformation from a 19th-century railway depot into one of the city’s most beloved gathering places. It’s an easy, central meeting point and a fitting start to a progressive dinner tour built around great food, craft cocktails, local history and connection. From there, guests will head out together to explore downtown’s award-winning restaurants, historic hotels and lively streets, getting to know fellow food lovers along the way.

Tavernetta

The first tasting stop brings guests to Tavernetta, one of Denver’s most celebrated restaurants and a polished showcase for regional Italian cooking. Opened by the team behind Boulder’s James Beard Award-winning Frasca Food and Wine, Tavernetta has earned national recognition for its hospitality, wine programme and beautifully executed cuisine, including a Michelin recommendation. Inside the elegant dining room near Union Station, guests will ease into the evening with a Brachetto spritz, a bright, lightly sparkling Italian aperitif with notes of red fruit and florals. Alongside it, you’ll enjoy housemade focaccia and marinated Italian olives, a simple but memorable pairing that captures Tavernetta’s style: refined, seasonal and rooted in the pleasure of sharing good food. It’s a relaxed, delicious first taste of city centre Denver’s award-winning dining scene.

The Oxford Hotel

Between tastings, guests will step inside the Oxford Hotel, one of Denver’s most historic and atmospheric landmarks. Opened in 1891, the Oxford is the city’s oldest operating hotel and still carries the character of old LoDo, from its ornate details to its timeless lobby and classic city centre feel. Your guide will share stories from the hotel’s past and its role in the neighborhood’s transformation, when this part of Denver evolved from a railway district into one of the city’s most vibrant dining and nightlife destinations. It’s a quick but memorable stopover that adds a sense of place to the evening, connecting the food and cocktails on the tour to the architecture, history and personality of city centre Denver.

Urban Farmer Denver

At Urban Farmer, guests settle into a modern steakhouse inside the historic Oxford Hotel for a rich, comforting tasting that feels tailor-made for a city centre dinner tour. This stop pairs a butter pecan old fashioned — smooth, warming and just a little indulgent — with a savoury beef slider topped with tomato jam, white cheddar and aioli. Alongside it, guests will enjoy a generous taste of creamed spinach, adding a classic steakhouse side to the experience. The combination is hearty without slowing down the evening, giving guests a flavourful snapshot of Urban Farmer’s farm-to-table approach and its polished but relaxed take on steakhouse dining in the heart of LoDo.

The Maven Hotel at Dairy Block

On the way to our next tasting, guests will pass through The Maven Hotel, a modern Dairy Block destination that captures a very different side of city centre Denver. Where the Oxford offers old LoDo elegance, The Maven brings a more contemporary, art-filled energy, with bold design, local artwork and an open, social lobby that reflects the creativity of the area around it. Your guide will use this stop to connect the dots between Denver’s historic railway roots and the city’s newer wave of hotels, restaurants and gathering spaces. It’s a quick but engaging transition before the next tasting, giving guests a sense of how city centre Denver continues to evolve while still keeping food, hospitality and local character at the centre of the experience.

Kachina Cantina

At Kachina, guests dig into a Southwestern-inspired tasting that brings bold flavour and a little Denver flair to the evening. This stop features blood orange tequila pork carnitas tacos served on warm fry bread, with fresh salsas that add brightness, heat and texture to each bite. Paired with a house margarita, it’s a lively contrast to the earlier Italian and steakhouse stops, showcasing the range of city centre Denver’s dining scene in one fun, generous tasting. Set inside the Maven Hotel on the Dairy Block, Kachina adds colour, energy and a sense of place to the tour, making it a perfect stop for guests to sip, snack and keep the conversation going.

Dairy Block

On our way to dessert, guests will walk through the Dairy Block alley, one of city centre Denver’s most colourful and creative pedestrian spaces. Tucked between historic brick buildings, this lively stretch is filled with public art, string lights, boutique shops, bars and hidden details that make it feel like a tucked-away area within the city. Your guide will point out how the Dairy Block transformed a former warehouse area into one of LoDo’s most vibrant gathering places, where food, design, hospitality and local culture all come together. It’s a short but memorable walk that adds energy and atmosphere to the evening before the final tasting.

Denver Milk Market

The tour ends on a sweet note inside Denver Milk Market, the lively food hall at the heart of the Dairy Block. Guests will head to Cornicello for a final dessert tasting featuring High Point Creamery ice cream, a local favourite known for creative flavours and small-batch quality. After a night of Italian bites, steakhouse comforts, Southwestern tacos and craft cocktails, this last stop gives everyone a chance to slow down, compare favourite moments and enjoy one more taste of Denver’s food scene. Set within one of downtown’s most social dining spaces, it’s a relaxed, satisfying finish to a progressive dinner tour built around great food, local stories and connection.
