Third Charlestown Tea Party.

Charleston had not one but THREE separate tea parties. That’s how thick the revolutionary fervor was here!

“On Thursday at Noon, an Oblation was made to Neptune of the said seven chests of Tea by Messrs. Lindsay, Kinsley, and Mackenzie themselves, who going on board the Ship in Stream, with their own Hands respectively stove the Chests belong to each, and emptied their Contents into the River… in View of the whole General Committee on the Shore besides numerous Concourse of People, who gave three hearty Cheers after the emptying of each Chest, and immediately after separated as if nothing had happened.”

Charleston’s only chef-led food history tour & lunch experience. An uparalled Holy City event just for you!

Charleston's acclaimed Chef Forrest Parker guides you along the path where food and history meet in historic Charleston, distilling 400 years into a walking tour followed by a cooking demonstration and three-course lunch featuring the iconic flavors of the S.C. Lowcountry.

You'll meet at the beautiful Pineapple Fountain at Waterfront Park. Then, Chef Forrest leads you on a 90 minute walking tour unlike any other in the city -as the only certified chef tour guide- exploring the complicated history of the Holy City and the culinary influences that shaped Charleston into one of the world's top food destinations.

You'll visit not-to be missed sights, but also the lesser known and understood locations where, for example, an enslaved chef created a recipe that still helps define local menus. The tour concludes at the cozy Bistro A Vin, where you’ll relax and enjoy perfectly paired wines as Chef Forrest teaches you three dishes interpreting Lowcountry classics, prepared using techniques he mastered over two decades. He’ll serve you those dishes for lunch, and your 3-hour experience ends with a gift - Chef Forrest’s recipes to take home!
