From the Santa Cruz River to the farmers and producers, the culinary scene is thriving in Marana.
You’ve got a chance to check it all out with Discover Marana‘s Gastronomy Tours on Thursday, October 11 and Sunday, October 21.
If you have ever been on a hike and wondered which plants are edible, this is the culinary tour for you. Dr. Suzanne Fish or Allen Denoyer guide you through Marana’s 4,000 years of agricultural history.
There are two separate tours to choose from, too.
Each tour is different but will include the flavors local chefs have come to love, a visit to ancient archaeological sites, and the techniques of brewmasters and artisanal bakers. Some of the participants include Bean Tree Farm, Catalina Brewing Company, and Button Brew House.
The tours start at $99 per person and last between four and six hours. Numbers are limited.
Also, make sure to wear comfortable closed-toe walking shoes because you will spend at least an hour of the tour outside.

Each tour begins at the Tucson Premium Outlets located at 6401 W. Marana Center Blvd. For more information on the tours, dates, and hours, visit discovermarana.org.
