Taste & Tour, the events company behind Belfast’s ever-popular food and drink tours, has announced that, in response to the current Covid restrictions, they are now offering an at-home delivery experience.
The new, Belfast Food Tour in a Box, is a specially-curated selection of Belfast’s best-loved local produce, offering foodies the opportunity to experience a taste of the multi-award winning Belfast Food Tour in the comfort of their own home or to share with a fellow foodie as a thoughtful gift experience this Christmas.
Co-founder of Taste & Tour, Phil Ervine, said: “Whilst there are restrictions in place we aren’t able to tour, however we still want to be able to offer a taste of the Belfast Food Tour for people at during the festive season. We can’t wait to return to hopefully return to some form of normality as soon as possible, but in the meantime we have had to pivot, just like many other businesses, into the online and delivery sector.
“Christmas is usually a strong season for us with corporate and group tours and it’s as important to us, as ever, that people still have viable celebration options to mark the season together without having to scrimp on quality or safety.
Caroline Wilson, Co-Founder of Taste & Tour said: “With that driving our vision, we created our Belfast Food Tour In A Box concept. The experience offers recipients a chance to discover a taste of the Belfast Food Tour – in this instance from the comfort of their own home with a few friends – and we can still connect with and support our network of suppliers. As a company, we’re driven by our passion for sharing local produce and talent and we’re thrilled that we’ve found a way to continue to bring a taste of Belfast to foodies across the island.
“Everyone likes to splurge a little at Christmas time on premium quality goods they may not buy every week and our boxes offer people the chance to do just that but in a convenient and affordable way.”
