Experience Details

Tucked into the heart of Central Florida, Inverness has been turning heads—and appetites. Named the #3 Best Small Town in the South by USA Today’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards (2025), it blends historic charm with lakeside views and a welcoming, walkable downtown.

The Inverness Food Tour is a guided, three-hour tasting experience that brings you to 3 to 4 local spots, each offering generous portions that easily add up to more than a full meal. Expect creative dishes, regional flavors, and maybe even a bite from a chef who’s competed in the World Food Championships.

Between tastings, explore Courthouse Square, the Valerie Theatre, and the Old Courthouse Museum. The tour ends by Lake Henderson in the Depot District, with stories along the way about Inverness’s railroad roots, role as Citrus County’s seat, and the quirky charm of the Cooter Festival.

For visitors and locals alike, this tour serves up flavor, history, and small-town hospitality—all in one unforgettable afternoon.
