Saturday Brunch Tour

11:30-2:00pm

Our most popular tour, so sign up early! Saturdays are a
bustling day in downtown Winter Garden. Our award-winning
Farmers Market is open from 8am to 1pm. Bring a cooler if you
come early to shop there! The best part is you won’t have to
fight for a Saturday hard-to-find parking spot. If you sign up, we
have a place directly behind the Winter Garden Heritage
Museum with reserved spots just for our foodie tour guests.
This tour does include samples of adult beverages and has a
weekend brunch feel. Think champagne, French toast, chicken
and waffles or croque-monsieur.
