Bienville Bites also tirelessly creates incredible themed tours that are fun and unique.
They’re perfect for both locals and tourists.
Be on the lookout, as they love holiday tours (tacky sweaters, anyone?) and haunted food tours!

About the Bienville Bites Food Tour Owners
Chris and Laney combined their food, history, and hospitality passions in 2017 when they started Bienville Bites Food Tour, Mobile’s first and only food tour.
Since then, Bienville Bites has been named the “Best Food Tour in Alabama”, and has been consistently awarded the “Certificate of Excellence” by TripAdvisor, which is given to the top 10% of attractions worldwide based on excellent five-star reviews.
In the fall of 2020, the couple launched Taste of Fairhope in Fairhope, Alabama, allowing people to connect through food and drink on both sides of Mobile Bay.
The two are passionate about connecting people to the city of Mobile through food and drink while giving them experiences to share with others.
Bienville Bites and the team have a great blog and have recently launched a podcast — go learn more about them here.
