It was a good day overall, and our guide was friendly and personable. However, I would have preferred more discussion about the food and slightly less of the history of Leesburg, especially as it was cold and wet outside. In instances where the weather is uncooperative, I would suggest having a "plan B" where the group can duck inside a local pub for a drink/coffee/tea while waiting to visit the next restaurant on the list. However, overall it was a fun event and I would definitely take a similar tour elsewhere in the DC Metro area.

Indulging in fried green tomatoes topped with jalapeno cheddar cheese, shrimp, and Szechwan chili sauce in a turn of the century bank?!? How about a slow roasted brisket and pork sandwich au jus in an actual 19th-century grain mill that has been regarded as a local favorite for over 20 years?!?

These were just a few of the items I got to experience on the Inagural Leesburg food tour back on Friday, June 15th. It was phenomenal and I thoroughly enjoyed it! This is a region that takes absolute pride in its rich historical past and locally sourced quality restaurants and cuisine. Our tour guide Jenna did an awesome job of providing that wonderful blend and balance of Leesburg's food and history!

I would definitely take the 45 minute trip from Fairfax to eat at these places again and try more dishes. After all, I learned that a couple of them were rated as "Destination Restaurants" in Loudoun County by the International Culinary Tourism Association (ICTA) which basically means that people would travel just to eat there because it simply offers them something special. For a culinary/cultural experience that is unique, educational and entertaining, Leesburg is definitely a tour that will satisfy you and your palate :)

The Leesburg tour was very enjoyable. We did it as a father's day treat for my husband along with my 13 month old. The restaurants we visited were very cool - great atmosphere, architectural quaintness and history, and tasty food. The town of Leesburg has so much to offer in way of history, shops, restaurants and for us it was only a 40 min drive which was a plus with a little one. We got a nice variety of food options and we left stuffed. My husband was a professional chef for 10 years and he liked all of the food options as well and enjoyed hearing about their preparations. We walked around in between restaurants and learned about the history and took in the scenery. I would totally recommend this tour!
