Your 2.5-hour sampling session will begin after you meet your shore excursion guide at a convenient point near your Juneau cruise port. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a jacket since you will be crossing downtown Juneau on foot for this tasty 8-stop adventure that covers about 1.2 miles in total at a leisurely strolling pace.
At Deckhand Dave's you will be delighted to try locally sourced seasonal wild Alaskan fish tacos topped with red cabbage slaw, pico de gallo and cilantro served on soft corn tortillas accompanied by richly flavored craft beer.

You'll be able to wet your whistle with a craft cocktail made from locally manufactured spirits at Juneau's first distillery. The Amalga Distillery makes gin, vodka, or malt whiskey right on the premises.
Savor the house specialties, tater tots smothered in cheese known as Super Tots, and shots of Eagle Farts which is a tasty combo of Bailey's, Kahlua, and vodka at the Imperial Billiard and Bar, the oldest bar in Alaska.
