Fort Worth Food & Bourbon Trail: A Chef's Tour of Cowtown

Fort Worth's culinary scene has exploded — from legendary Texas barbecue to James Beard-recognised fine dining. A private food-and-spirits guide leads a bespoke tasting journey through the city's most exciting neighbourhoods and kitchens.

What to expect

The tour opens at a legendary Stockyards barbecue institution for brisket carved straight from the smoker, before moving to Magnolia Avenue's eclectic dining strip for small plates at a chef-driven neighbourhood restaurant. A stop at a craft Texas bourbon bar pairs local whiskeys with the guide's expert commentary on the state's booming spirits renaissance. The finale is a dessert tasting at a celebrated local patisserie — indulgent and unhurried.

Good to know

Inform your guide of any dietary restrictions when booking — the itinerary can be fully customised. Midday to early afternoon is the ideal window; ensure you're back comfortably ahead of all-aboard. Private car transfers between stops can be arranged through your guide. Book at least 2 weeks in advance as popular dining venues require reservations.
