Historic Charm Tour: Tastes & Tales in the Victorian Highlands
Discover Louisville’s stories on a food & history tour through Louisville’s historic Highlands, a neighborhood of tree-lined avenues, opulent Victorian mansions, and quirky charm. This scenic walking tour blends delicious local food with fascinating stories from Louisville’s rich and colorful past. As you explore Louisville’s oldest and most storied streets, you’ll savor dishes inspired by Kentucky’s culinary heritage. Along the way, you'll visit locally owned and beloved spots, including a cozy Irish pub and a farm-to-table restaurant showcasing seasonal produce. You'll enjoy a reimagined Hot Brown in Muhammad Ali’s former boxing gym and sip bourbon in Louisville’s oldest bar. You'll stop at the iconic entrance of Cave Hill Cemetery, the final resting place of Louisville’s legends, and trace the footsteps of the immigrants who shaped the city. All of this unfolds against the stunning backdrop of lush greenery and historic architecture near Cherokee Park.
