Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s a collection of our frequently asked questions. Got a question that isn’t answered here? Reach out to us via email or at 778-718-8878

• What kind of experiences does Chew On This Tasty Tours offer?

  Chew On This designs and hosts small-group culinary experiences in Fort Langley, Chilliwack, and Surrey, each built around local kitchens, shared tables, and time to settle in. Every experience is hosted from start to finish, so you can arrive and let the afternoon unfold rather than managing logistics.

• Are these guided tours, or do we explore on our own?

  Each experience is hosted in person. Your host introduces you to the people behind the food, keeps things moving at a comfortable pace, and is with you throughout. This isn’t a self-guided itinerary you follow on your own.

• Where are your experiences located?

  Our hosted culinary experiences take place in Fort Langley, Chilliwack, and Surrey, all within the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver region, about 45 minutes to an hour from downtown Vancouver. These communities sit along the Rainforest to Rockies, Canada’s iconic journey between Vancouver and the Canadian Rockies.

• What’s included in the price?

  Tastings, beverages, gratuities, and hosting are included. Specific inclusions (admission to a historic site, a take-home item, a tea blend) vary by experience and are listed below.

• Is transportation included?

  No. Transportation between stops or locations is not included, though for the Surrey experience it can be arranged through a partner or coordinated as part of a private booking.

• How far in advance should I book?

  Public dates can be booked directly online. Private group and custom bookings are best arranged with some advance notice, particularly for ROOTED, which requires a longer lead time. If you’re not sure whether a date works, reach out and we’ll let you know.

• What’s your cancellation policy?

  Cancellations 30 or more days before the experience receive a full refund. Cancellations 14–29 days out receive 50%. Within 14 days, bookings are non-refundable.

• Can I book for a private group or special occasion?

  Yes. Private bookings are available for all experiences, with a minimum guest commitment that varies by location. This works well for birthdays, family gatherings, and visiting relatives.

• Do you host corporate or team experiences?

  Yes. Many groups use these experiences for team outings, client hospitality, or as part of a larger retreat. Reach out and we can talk through what would work for your group.

• Will there be other guests at our table?

  All Village Table and Downtown Table bookings are private. Your group has the experience to yourselves.

  Spice of Life in Surrey and ROOTED in Fort Langley are shared table experiences.

  When you book an evening with Chef Vikram Vij, you will have a private table.

   

• How much walking is involved?

  This depends on the experience. Fort Langley involves moderate walking through the village. Chilliwack’s route is short and largely flat. Surrey moves between locations rather than on foot. Details are in the frequently asked questions at the bottom of each experience page, and if you have mobility concerns, let us know and we’ll help figure out what works.

• Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

  Let us know in advance and we’ll do what we can. Vegetarian and plant-based options are available across all experiences, with other needs accommodated where possible depending on location.

• Do I need to bring money?

  Tastings, drinks, and gratuities are included, so you don’t need cash for the experience itself. You may want a little extra if something catches your eye in a shop along the way.

• Is alcohol included, and what if I don’t drink?

  Some experiences include a beer, wine, or cocktail pairing. If you’d prefer not to drink, just let your host know ahead of time and they’ll arrange an alternative.

• Is this a good fit for a multigenerational group, like a family celebration?

  Often, yes. These experiences work well for groups spanning a wide age range, since the pacing is relaxed and there’s no pressure to keep up with anything physically demanding. Group size minimums and maximums vary by location, so it’s worth checking the specific experience before booking.
