Artisan Food & Indigenous Culture: Chef-Led Tasting Walk

Join an award-winning local chef and a First Nations cultural ambassador on a private small-group walk through the town's culinary and indigenous heritage — wild berry preserves, smoked king salmon, and Tlingit storytelling included.

What to expect

The walk winds through the historic Creek Street district and into family-run smokehouses where salmon has been cured the same way for generations. You taste cedar-plank sockeye, hand-harvested sea vegetables, and wild berry preparations alongside locally crafted spirits. The Tlingit ambassador shares oral histories tied to each food — hunting laws, seasonal ceremony, and the spiritual relationship with the salmon. You leave with recipes, a tasting journal, and a full stomach.
