Our February outing kept us much closer to home. We decided to take a "Sweet Tour of Denver" through the Denver Gourmet Tours. We spent the afternoon exploring some cool, locally owned shops in LoDo and the Platte River area. We both wished we had discovered these local shops before we moved so far into suburbia! Guess it's a good reason to visit downtown.
Tasting olive oil at "EVOO". This shop had a great selection of fabulous olive oils and flavored balsamic vinegars. If you've never tasted butter flavored olive oil or dark chocolate balsamic vinegar, you should head to "EVOO" and give them a try.
Our next stop was "Crepe n Crepe". This cute little restaurant serves up a fantastic strawberry and Nutella crepe. We were lucky enough to get seconds!
The above mentioned crepe!
Our third stop was the "Savory Spice Shop" where we tasted cinnamon, vanilla sugar, and mole cookies. This store carries every spice imaginable sold in any quantity you desire. You can even taste them before buying!
Our next stop was "Living the Sweet Life" a quaint little bakery where we had a chance to decorate our own cupcake as well as purchase a very yummy pecan bar. Our final stop was of course our favorite because we got to taste wine and chocolate!
What more could one ask for!
