What You’ll Experience

A Seven Course 18th and 19th CENTURY DINING EXPERIENCE Charleston’s two biggest passions are food and history. We combine those two passions as you transport yourself through time on our unique tour where you never have to leave your seat. You will enjoy a generous seven course meal served in “service a la Francais.” Each entree covers a different period of Charleston’s history, with food authentic to the times. It’s all fully narrated by your host and culinary historian, Mike Hebb. You will not only taste Charleston’s history, you’ll also learn about domestic life, the walled city of Charlestowne, the Revolution, slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction and beyond. You’ll also receive a free after hours visit to the South Carolina Historical Society Museum located at the Fireproof Building, the first fireproof building in our nation’s history. You’ll get water and a glass of Madeira wine. All other drinks are BYOB. Bring your favorite bottle. Gratuity is not included in the price of the meal. Feel free to leave what you like
