Penn Quarter Tours

Sip a variety of top-notch, international wines or liquors at Central Wines, a classy wine, beer and spirits shop in the lively Penn Quarter District (or take your tastings to go), and then sit back and enjoy your pedicab ride. Your driver-guide pedals you through Chinatown and the Federal Triangle, as well as past key sights such as the National Portrait Gallery, the Friendship Arch and Ford Theatre. This small-group tour is limited to 9 people or fewer.

The ultimate urban adventure! See D.C. like a local in the most personal way. D.C. is flush with some great city bikeshare bikes. Sure, they are a bit heavier but once you get rolling you barely notice as their wide tires smooth out rough patches of pavement. We can explore some of D.C.’s remarkable urban fabric, cool neighborhoods and even check out the major monuments, National Mall, White House and or Capitol Building. I’ll bring helmets and gear to make the experience even more safe and fun. Depending on availability, we can also use electric assist bikeshare bikes.

Cocktails have been a part of U.S. history since George Washington ran his own Mount Vernon distillery. In the heart of downtown DC, your guide gives you insider access to the city’s best bars, from a rooftop pub with views of the capital to a Prohibition-era speakeasy often missed by visitors. The evening includes light snacks, one complimentary drink, and a cocktail-making demonstration.

Hop aboard a rickshaw (also known as a pedicab) for a 40-minute whirlwind tour of D.C.'s highlights. Bring your own wine or beer (ages 21 and older) and sit back while your guide pedals and narrates the sites. Areas covered include Penn Quarter, Chinatown, and Metro Center areas.

Taste wine in Northern Virginia's wine country without worrying who will be the designated driver with this day trip from Washington DC. Step aboard a comfortable tour vehicle and enjoy the scenery on the journey, arriving at the Winery at Bull Run to taste some of the vineyard's best vintages.
