Charleston Small Plate History Food Tour

Joining this experience allows you to sample the city’s iconic Lowcountry dishes while learning about their cultural and historical significance.
This Small Plate food experience in Charleston is more than just a small meal—it’s an opportunity to connect with the city’s culture, meet local chefs, and discover your new favorite dish. Perfect for couples, families, or solo travelers, a food tour is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in Charleston’s unique flavors and vibrant culinary scene.

We set out to reimagine the food tour experience by creating an offering, unlike any food tour in Charleston. Our signature Blue Plate food tour experience stays in the same place, as we take you on a tour of an amazing menu curated just for this experience.

We took an amazing restaurant, chef, and one of our amazing historians, and created the only Small Plate history food tour in Charleston.
