Start with flavor, stay for the stories. We sit down with Melisa from Treasure Coast Culinary Tours to unpack how a guided five-stop tasting turns an ordinary afternoon into a crash course on Vero Beach, Fort Pierce, Stewart, and Sebastian. From pre-arranged dishes and seamless logistics to a flexible vibe that shifts between history and pure fun, Melisa shows how curation removes the guesswork and reveals the best of the local dining scene.

You’ll hear how she scouts menus to find the dish you didn’t know to order, why afternoon tours are perfect for hosting visitors, and how groups scale from a few friends to dozens without losing the personal touch. We dig into the surprising crowd favorite in downtown Vero—a fruit-and-dairy pasta combination that guests rave about—and challenge you to guess the dish. If you’ve ever been stuck in a restaurant rut, this is your map out: walk a little, taste a lot, and leave with a shortlist of places worth returning to.

We also explore the other side of food discovery: learning skills you can use at home. Melisa shares why sushi is the rare class she loves to teach, how a rice cooker and a simple kit can replace pricey nights out, and what makes hands-on sessions a smart companion to culinary tours. Whether you’re planning a girlfriends’ day, a birthday surprise, or a smarter way to see a new city, you’ll get practical ideas to elevate your next outing.
