Food and Wine Experience Gifts

"Had a great time! Great idea to not only experience amazing chocolate from local markets and bakeries but to experience Dupont Circle as well. Nicely done!"

"Felecia was a very talented chef and gave all of us a great and enjoyable evening."

"The Walking Food Tour was 'Gourmet on K' in Sacramento. We stopped at 6 restaurants, with excellent food in all of them. The people at the places we went to were incredibly friendly and had a wealth of information to share with us about their product/history/stories etc. The tour can usually take up to 12 people our guide said, but luckily we were the only ones, so it turned in to a private tour! We live in Sacramento too so it was awesome to find out some of the K street history - especially some of the buildings that we ride bikes past all of the time. The tour is well worth doing and the Local Roots Food Tours have other tours they offer around Sacramento. We are already lining up our next one!"

"Excellent tour- this made me want to come back to the city of Napa - so much history, and so much to explore!"

"It was great. The food was better then I thought it would be. Very classy. It was worth every penny. I highly recommend cloud 9 living to take care of anyone's bookings. Thanks for being professional. "

"The selection of individually owned stores and the background information on the owners made the tour unusually interesting. All the desserts were outstanding and our reception in the stores was friendly. I really enjoyed the experience."

"Very favorable. Enjoyable, and would definitely recommend."

"I loved the experience with Chef Kahlil!!! He was awesome and made our 5yr anniversary special and perfect with his cooking and great personality!! I would recommend this experience to everyone."

"We were in NYC 5 days which sound like a lot of time until you start trying to "do everything" so giving up three hours is a pretty big deal. We could not have been happier with the time or money spent. Getting the experience booked and our questions answered were handled perfectly by the Cloud 9 representatives. Once we were on board, it just got better. The staff, especially Ashanti -our server- were incredible! We LOVED the cruise so much!! The only feedback we would give was about the dress code. We called Cloud 9 to confirm required dress and we're told no jeans were permitted. (This was not clear on the Wells Fargo site where we initially purchased the cruise). We had to go buy dress pants for one of the members of our party -which we were happy to do in order to comply with the code. However, several people were in jeans, one even wearing a GAP hoodie as well. We weren't looking for a fancy event but given the fact that we made a specific purchase only yo find out jeans WOULD have been fine was a bit annoying. "

"The walking tour of South Austin was AWESOME! The local company that the tour guide was from Austin Eats! and he was well versed in food preparation and the history of the local sites. He was appropriately chatty but knew when to shut up, which is a great quality in a guide. The food choices for the tour were OUTSTANDING!! I have talked about what a great experience we had ALL WEEK to any one who will listen. I would strongly recommend this tour to anyone interested in food and or culture."

"I bought the romantic dinner for two experience for my parents as it was my dad's 60th birthday and my sister and I couldn't be there. I worked with Stacy, from epicures, to customize the menu and was amazing to work with! My parents thought she was incredibly sweet and loved all of her creations. Thanks for helping in making my dad's birthday so great!"

"Overall it was a great experience. Chef Mark was fun, personable, made everyone comfortable. Food was great ans so was the company"

"Despite being in a group of strangers, my husband and I genuinely felt like part of a big family. The tour guide was not only knowledgeable and friendly, but knew how to make sure that no one was left out at any time. As someone new to Connecticut, this experience was a great opportunity to get to know New Haven in a way that only locals can, and I am excited to try another tour as soon as the weather gets better! Thank you for a memorable day."

"I very much enjoyed the Food Tour. All the food, drinks and products we sampled were excellent. Our guide, Zak, was very professional, friendly and informative. I liked all six places we visited & found all the staff at these places to be very friendly and knowledgeable about the foods or products they were showcasing. Definitely an experience I will try again myself and give as a gift!"

"Chef Dan was great! He was very knowledgeable, very professional, yet personable and funny! It was a great evening! Loved it "

"My boyfriend and I had an incredible time celebrating our one year anniversary aboard the Spirit of Baltimore! Every single staff member was beyond friendly, entertaining, and accomodating. This experience was a surprise for my boyfriend and he loved every minute! The food was fantastic, we definitely left stuffed to the gills...the music was awesome, never a dull moment on the dance floor...and the excellent staff members topped off the overall experience. Thank you again so much. I think we will be looking at other experiences through your site in the near future!"

"I grew up in Philadelphia but moved to the suburbs quite a few years ago. My wife and I took the Ethnic Food Tour from City Food Tours. It was excellent. Besides the food, we visited a Buddhist temple and our guide, Eric, was extremely knowledgeable (even showing us how to say "hello," "goodbye," and "thank you" in various languages. We had a great time and are looking forward to doing more things like this."

"This experience was amazing! I am definitely going to do it again and will bring family and friends as well. Our tour guide leader, Zach, was AWESOME!!!! He was fun and knowledgable and made the tour even better. The food was amazing and we had a great time. "

"We loved the experience and Zack was great! We have lived in AZ for almost 40 yrs., but learned many interesting historical facts about Scottsdale not previously known to us. This is the only tour of this kind we have taken in the U.S. (two in Paris) and are hooked. We are currently researching tours in other cities."

"Magnificent experience. The blend of history, food, and general information about the area was first rate. The pace was excellent and there was plenty of time to shop a bit along the way for things that were recommended. No need to bring a water bottle since there were lots of refreshments along the way. We might have started with a round of introductions which would have gotten us to know something about each other. Minor point. Some places on the tour sheet where no visited and it might have been good to have the guide say a word or two about those. Excellent time had by all."

"Our guide, Nick, was just the right amount of friendly. He knew what he was talking about but didn't try and make silly jokes. Just really nice. Each stop on the tour was a fun and new experience. We had a wonderful day."

"Chef Kalil was just amazing. Professional, friendly, expert. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Moreover, they left the kictchen absolutely immaculate. What a birthday gift!"

"My name is Denise Santacroce and I took my mother and husband on the Champagne Brunch cruise last Sun. Jan. 26th with a Cloud 9 gift voucher from the Doctors show. My husband is here for work until May and we are originally from Bath New York( Finger Lake area)and currently reside in Myrtle Beach SC and we absolutely love the water, beach , and being outdoors. My mother is 73 years old and is very active and wanted to get every min in sightseeing Champagne Brunch while in Calif for 2 weeks. So with out over exaggerating it certainly was the highlight of her visit with us. Thanks for making the priceless memory for her a dream come true and a first for her~ as well as myself leaving with a feeling of wanting to do this every weekend for the rest of my time here in Calif. I have been telling everyone I see, how beautiful the experience was and we will be taking friends again to take the Sunday Champagne Brunch cruise. Thanks so much and God Bless, Take Care, Sincerely, Denise Santacroce "

"the food was excellent-every bite I consumed was good. The area is outstanding, all the little shops, the old and new buildings nestled together makes for a warm and charming neighborhood. Our guide, Melissa Chen was very informative,and made sure everyone in the group had what they needed. Melisso made sure to visit with each member of our 11 person group; she is the perfect hostess. I have recommended the Hayes Valley Tour to several people and I will continue to do so. Sandra Hawkins"

"We had a wonderful time. It was great exposure to an area with which we had little experience. Melissa was knowledgable and engaging."

"We had a fantastic experience - Our tour guide was wonderful and the Cloud 9 Reresentative Kristen was AWESOME!!! Thank you"
