About this activity

With its historic town-homes and fashionable eateries, Boston’s Back Bay is a lure for visitors and locals alike. Learn why as you follow a charismatic guide—a certified viticultural expert—to 2 of the neighborhood’s finest restaurants, sampling their best bottles and bites on this wine-lovers’ walking tour for a total of 6 different wines.

Meet up with your guide and small group of no more than 12 at Post 390, which puts a contemporary twist on seasonally inspired dishes. A massive wrought iron staircase connects the energy of the first floor with the Dining Room on the second floor. Learn how restaurants select the wines for their lists, and discuss ordering etiquette over mushroom flatbread and glasses from California wine country and the sun-baked vineyards of Sicily.

Then, head to your second stop—the well-established, romantic dining room at Legal Sea Foods. With its 10,000 bottle wine cellar, see the owner’s private wine collection; sample two wines made exclusively for Legal Sea Foods, and munch the exquisite lump crab cake with mustard sauce and see which wine pairs best with seafood.

It was an amazing experience. Loved learning about how to taste the wines as well as learning the looks of the wine! Can't wait to try the other options as well. We did back bay.....awesome!

Enjoy every minute of this experience, Roz was truly knowledgeable in her wines. she was very sweet and got the job done. Learned a lot of new things about wines both red and white. I do think it was a bit pricey for only 2 restaurants and wine store.....think there should be more like 4, even three with the end being desert wines with desert to help close up the tour.......

The host was amazing. Unfortunately the restaurants mentioned on the website were different then the ones used during the trip. Also when I asked for a confirmation of the restaurants in a number of emails I sent, it wasn't mentioned that the restaurants/store were different. In stead of a restaurant the last stop was at Boston bottle, which was a store. As we were picked up by a taxi, it was hassle to get the taxi re-organized. All in all it was a good experience, however it would be good that the website and confirmation emails are more clear about the venues.

Raz was great! Learned a lot and tried some great wines! Given this was Italian wine based, there were more red wines than white - only suggestion would be to even it out a bit more. Other than that, it was a great day! Gave it to my mother as a gift for Christmas and she loved it. Good snacks and a good time.
