Flavours of Christmas Tour of Bath with Savouring Bath

Discover the delicious flavours of Christmas with Savouring Bath's brand-new Flavours of Christmas Tour, a festive food and drink sampling experience celebrating Bath Christmas Market in 2026.

Taking place against the beautiful backdrop of Bath's historic streets, this guided walking tour offers the opportunity to sample artisan food and drink from a carefully curated selection of independent traders. From seasonal specialities to unique festive creations, participants can discover talented regional producers showcasing some of the best food and drink from across the South West.

Shorter than Savouring Bath's regular food tours, Flavours of Christmas introduces visitors to some of the organisers' favourite producers at this year's Bath Christmas Market. With at least five tasting stops, participants can enjoy a variety of festive flavours, meet the people behind the products and, in some cases, take a little treat away with them.

Led by an experienced, locally based tour guide, the experience also includes stories of Bath's culinary heritage, recommendations for local food and drink businesses and shopping hotspots, and a bespoke map highlighting businesses visited during the tour.

With a maximum of six participants per tour, Flavours of Christmas offers a small-group culinary experience in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage City of Bath.
