Savor Gettysburg has been gaining popularity quickly as they take you to eight different stops with ample portions at each. Don’t eat lunch first, you are going to be full when you are done.

You also get a chance to see in many of the historic homes that were here during the Civil War and are still functioning today.

While the schedule may change in the future, we stopped at all the following during our 3-1/2 hour tour:

  • El Costeno for great Mexican cuisine
  • One Lincoln – a full service restaurant in a hotel
  • Hauser Estate Winery – took home a number of their ciders
  • Garryowen Irish Pub – voted “Second Best Pub outside Ireland”
  • Café St. Almand – lovely little French bistro
  • Gettysburg Cupcake Shop – to die for cupcakes and coffee
  • Farnsworth House Inn & Tavern – a beautiful B&B with Victorian furnishings
  • G’s Homemade Ice Cream – no sharing – you’ll want every last mouthful for yourself

It was a fun, light-hearted few hours.  We learned a lot about the city and kept being fed these fantastic delicacies.  What’s not to like?
