Taste Bentonville One Bite at a Time
Looking for a delicious way to explore Bentonville? Starting September 8, 2026, Big on Bentonville is adding a new food tour to its lineup, giving visitors the chance to experience the city through five local tastings, stories, and plenty of good conversation.
The Big on Bentonville Food Tour is a 2½-hour guided walking tour through Downtown Bentonville. Along the way, you'll stop at locally owned restaurants for five chef-inspired tastings while learning a little about the city's history, food scene, and the people who call Bentonville home.
"We've spent years showing visitors why we love Bentonville," said Brian Johnson, co-owner of Big on Bentonville. "One of the questions we hear most is, 'Where do the locals eat?' We decided it was time to stop answering that question—and start showing people."
Whether you're visiting for the first time, meeting up with friends, or looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon, this tour offers a taste of Bentonville, literally.
Good Food With a Greater Purpose
There’s even more to feel good about. A portion of every food tour ticket will be donated to the Samaritan Community Center, helping support its work to fight hunger across Northwest Arkansas.
Big on Bentonville has been showing guests around the city since 2021 and has welcomed more than 8,500 visitors along the way. The new food tour joins its lineup of local experiences, including the Best of Bentonville Tour and Front Seat to Fabulous Tour.
Every stop on the tour brings something to taste, from chef-driven High South cooking and locally grown ingredients to pimento cheese with a cult following, savory burnt ends and a dessert that saves the best for last.
🎟️ The tour is $99 per person.
Tours begin September 8 and run Tuesday through Friday at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. (excluding First Fridays), with intentionally limited group sizes for a more personal experience.
