What you can expect

  • Enjoy French Quarter courtyards, classic cocktails, and entertaining history!

    The word “cocktail” originated in New Orleans! In a city that fosters creativity and breathes inspiration, it’s no wonder the history is so closely entwined with a culinary culture. On this small group tour you’ll drink in the rich history of the city as you explore the French Quarter, where the hour is always happy.

    Kick off your small group tour with a Steamboat NATCHEZ Jazz Punch as you take in the sights of the Mississippi River. Then you’ll make your way to a bar located in the carriageway of a restaurant world famous for its jazz brunch, courtyard canopied by a 130 year old wisteria vine, and charm gates that were wrought in Spain and blessed by Queen Isabella.

    Then you’ll relax in the former residence* of Antoine Peychaud, the Creole apothecary who prescribed and dispensed his patented herbal Peychaud’s Bitters, which would later become the key ingredient in the Sazerac, America’s first cocktail and the official cocktail of New Orleans.

    At the crossroads of two cobblestone alleys in the shadows of the St. Louis Cathedral, is a legendary pirate hangout. There you’ll meet the “green fairy” known as Absinthe, the mystical herbal elixir that induced intoxicating creativity in many authors, artists, poets and musicians.

    If you don’t finish your drink, ask for a “to go cup.” This is not a bar crawl. It's history, with a twist!
