Alberta Food Tours casts a spotlight on the province’s robust food scene with a variety of tours that highlight local producers, restaurants and food products. In the mountains, the company takes guests into one of Banff’s most iconic venues on its guided Eat the Castle tour, which allows guests to explore and sample dishes from four on-site eateries in the Fairmont Banff Springs. You can also sign up for a self-guided food tour in downtown Canmore for a variety of food samples and discounts. It’s a tasty and fun way to learn more about the mountains.
