Lunar New Year Tour

Lunar New Year Tour

Celebrate Lunar New Year in Houston with an immersive, flavor-forward journey that brings together food, tradition, and community. This curated tour invites guests to experience the season as locals do—through shared meals, festive energy, and meaningful cultural moments.

The experience begins with a welcoming Cantonese meal just beyond the edge of Chinatown, setting the tone with comforting flavors and time-honored dishes. From there, guests are transported into the heart of a vibrant Lunar New Year celebration, where dragon dances, traditional snacks, and local makers fill the streets with color, movement, and joy. The tour concludes with a bold and satisfying Sichuan meal—fiery, flavorful, and perfectly balanced—bringing the day to a memorable close.

Throughout the journey, a knowledgeable guide shares insight into Lunar New Year traditions and cultural significance, while seamless transportation (and beer on the bus from Saint Arnold) keeps the experience relaxed and celebratory. Even better, proceeds from this tour support the Southern Smoke Foundation, making it a meaningful way to celebrate the season.
