Why a Food Tour Is the Ultimate Corporate Event in Nashville

Planning a corporate event in Nashville? Let’s be honest—another stuffy steakhouse dinner or noisy Broadway happy hour isn’t going to wow your team or your clients. You want something different. Something that actually connects people. Something they’ll still be talking about on Monday.

If you’re searching for the best team building activities in Nashville, skip the escape rooms and awkward icebreakers. A walking food tour combines incredible food, local music, authentic storytelling, and walkable charm—all wrapped into a curated, stress-free event that everyone can enjoy.

Whether you're entertaining clients in Nashville, organizing an executive retreat, or planning a company holiday party, A Little Local Flavor delivers the award-winning corporate food tour experience you didn’t know your team needed.

We’ve hosted corporate groups from Amazon, American Express, Cheddar’s Restaurants, Vivial Marketing, and countless others.

Why? Because great food is the one thing every team agrees on.

Why Food Tours Are a Secret Weapon for Team Building

The best teams don’t just work together—they eat together.

Food tours offer:

  • Shared experiences (not just shared meals)

  • Organic conversation between courses

  • Walking time for informal connections

  • Variety—no one is stuck at one table with one person the whole night

Each stop on the tour offers a fresh opportunity to mix, mingle, and connect. As your team rotates through 4+ restaurants, they’ll sit with new people, try new flavors, and walk away with stronger bonds—and fuller stomachs.
