    Carla and Linda's food tour was a blast and full of historical facts and local eateries in Oceanside. A variety of cuisines and they were able to accommodate a bunch of random dietary restrictions amoung a group of 20! I would definitely do this again.

    Professional & Accommodating!!! Walking Food Tour was Pire Awesome Sauce!! Thank you Linda!!!. Food selections were amazing and since we were celebrating a birthday everyone was super kind. So much great food and so many sights to see in this historic and angelic town. Such a chill vibe here and to have a foodie experience such as Linda provided....we were OVERJOYED!!! XOXO

    Deelish pulled pork tacos, awesome history of this hotel, cool rooftop lounge with an incredible view

    Was able to tour North Oside with Carla and Linda and a few friends. Everything was well-planned out, the food was deeelish (even accommodated for gluten free yeah!) and learning some history about the area was fun! Planning to do another tour soon!! Yes, sign up; you'll love it!

    Words cannot express the fun we had yesterday. It was truly an adventure filled with love and passion by Linda and Carla. Our group was 13, which was big, however, it felt small and intimate. The restaurants we visited were locally owned and we got to meet the owners and chefs! How fun! Our taste buds were tickled by outstanding treats from each of the 5 restaurants. HIGHLY recommended! We were so full when we were done and the people on our tour were so fun! DO THIS!! Banana Dang Banana oat milk latte Ryes and Grind Corned beef Ruben Flying pig Panko crusted durok pork chop with beet purée, pickled onions and Serrano and micro greens Orfila winery Flatbreads: mushroom, prosciutto, chicken pesto Allmine Butcher block pizza Verde pizza

    Carla & Linda's Walking Tour or it's alter ego: shoesandchews really should be called Substance & Soul because you get lots of food for your body and fuel for your soul! Went on a 3-hour walking/food tour of Oceanside with these lovely ladies last week and we learned so much about this up and coming beachside town. We officially visited a total of four (4) different restaurants: Ofelia; Switchboard, Petite Madeline & Benitos (not in order!) and even had a nice little surprise/treat at Banana Dang. (Note that they have different tours and their tours change, so don't be surprise if you go to other sites-- the City is definitely growing and there's so much to do!) The food was delicious and portions were hearty! Appreciated the Chefs' intros to all their dishes and history behind the places-- Thank you owners/chefs for your hospitality! Don't want to spoil all the fun, but we also got to stop by some neat cultural/art hotspots around town and even saw an [extended] family of ducks climbing out of their nests-- it really was a clown car! BTW: The reviews are true- they do know everyone! :-) which is great because you know you're getting the real-deal with Carla & Linda. They do love their town, the people and want their guests to enjoy their visit too and they manage to do just that and more in just 3-hours! This truly was a all-encompassing tour with knowledgeable guides, good food and history. Can't wait to try their other ventures!

    wonderful Hosts and lots of Great information! exploration of casual dining spots in s Oceanside And recommmendations for other places to visit.

    Great food tour

We spent a good amount of time at three wineries (the tour lasted about 5 hours), but it felt like it all went by so fast! We had ordered lunch at one of the wineries, and the food was delicious. However, it felt like the prices were a little high for the food we ordered. Nevertheless, they were accommodating with at least two vegan options! (Totally wish they had more) For my vegans, the panini was good! Mark (or 'Rags') was our tour guide, and he really made the day spectacular! He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic! He let us choose the music in the van while we went from place to place and gave us an itinerary of what to expect before we started! He was also very nice and joyful! He also brought out birthday cupcakes for the three birthday girls!! It was very cute! He was personable and a joy to spend the day with! I only wish the tour of the winery was longer! We only spent some time in a room to see how they made wine in clay pots! Otherwise, 10/10!!

I could not have asked for a better team to spend my wine tour with. Liz was funny, out-going, and always available to take a picture for you. We went to three wineries and each one had something special to offer. The lunch we had was exquisite. The brownie pairing with wine was amazing!!! My group had the turkey wraps, roast beef sandwiches, and the Cesar salad! Food kept us going as we sipped many great wines. I had a memorable experience and I am looking forward to seeing them again.

Yesterday I was driving southbound from Orange County and decided now would be the time to stop in for a member glass. We got here about 15 minutes before last call. Last call is 30 minutes before closing time. There were some people over at the Brewery. Nobody was at the Winery. I got my glass and have a seat there's tons of comfortable leather couch seating. There are high tops and low top tables and a huge outdoor space. This seems like such an amazing place to hang out with a group of friends This was a quick stop in. I'm not sure if there's food available. Definitely will come back here soon

It's casual and fun. Dogs are welcome. I'll be going back every weekend.

Eddie showed us the Barrel Room and shared some information about the barrels. Our next step was Lorimar winery, we enjoyed wine, live music, the outdoor patio was packed with people having a great time. The air was chilly, but they had heaters for comfort. They served a buffet meal which was quite delicious and generous! Our server at Lorimar made herself available for anything we needed. Eddie, our driver even fetched our sweaters when we needed them. This was event first class, fun, and no hassle. We all had a great time! The only challenge, which is typical at public events, long bathroom line for the women at Lorimar.

West was unavailable…read moreduring our trip, but he made sure we were taken care of by referring us to Uncle Jose--and that worked out perfectly. After a quick and easy walk through customs, Uncle Jose met us right across the street and got the day started smoothly. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel comfortable right away. He guided us through a mix of local shops and restaurants, then gave us the flexibility to visit the spots we specifically wanted. We made our way to Puerto Nuevo for lobster, which absolutely lived up to the hype, and of course stopped at Restaurante Caesar's--the birthplace of the Caesar salad--which was a highlight of the trip. Uncle Jose took great care of us throughout the day and made the experience easy and enjoyable. If you are able to walk across the border and walk back or take a $10 shuttle back into the US, ask for Uncle Jose a warm and knowledgeable local that will take great care of you. Highly recommended if you're looking for a fun, safe and stress-free Baja adventure!

From the moment we met him, we felt SO safe, taken care of, and genuinely welcomed. West's kindness, professionalism, and deep love for the area and its people truly stood out. He was always ready with helpful tips, local recommendations, and a warm smile--not just for us, but for everyone we came across. He went above and beyond in so many ways: arranging an extra driver to help with our luggage, assisting with last-minute errands, and even being our unofficial group photographer before events. Traveling somewhere unfamiliar can be a little nerve-wracking, but knowing West would be there to drop us off and pick us up made us feel so much more comfortable. His presence gave us peace of mind, and we were able to enjoy ourselves fully knowing we were in such good hands. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and incredibly reliable, West is your guy. We're so grateful for everything he did for us and would recommend him a thousand times over!
