About the experience

Let your hair down and sample the best culinary delights Panjim has to offer with our Goan Feni & Tapas Food Trail! A night full of delicious food, premium Feni and exotic Feni-based cocktails are sure to leave you in high spirits (quite literally)!

Special Note:

There’s something for everyone: this food & drink trail caters equally to both vegetarians and non-vegetarians, and non-drinkers can enjoy alcohol-free mocktails instead.
We also provide an optional cab service to make sure you get home safely after a night of revelry!

    Highlights
A pub-crawl with a twist – as we discover untold stories about the evolution of Goan food, explore its Portuguese influences and break popular stereotypes relating to local cuisine.
Discover Goa’s traditional, locally-brewed liquor ‘Feni’ in a series of exotic cocktails.
Journey through some of Panjim’s oldest taverns and culinary establishments that have earned an iconic reputation among local Goans.
Visit a vintage Goan club which was frequented by colonial nobility during the Portuguese era.

Amazing!

Must do if you are visiting Goa! Make it part of your bucket list! The walks are as exciting as they make it sound on their pamphlets! We tried the a couple of their heritage tours! Feni Tapas trial is hands down the best experience! This is for you if you are looking to truly experience Goa apart from the usual! Lata Rodrigues, our guide is the very best! Truly a wonderful soul! So warm and welcoming and curates the whole experience for you! Definitely doing it again when I come to Goa next!

An incredible experience

Being addicted to Goa, earlier in August we stumbled upon Make it Happen on AirBnB and they conducted two tours for us of Fontainhas and Saligao. Visiting again before Christmas our family booked their Tapas and Feni tour. Mrs. Lata Rodrigues a retired Culinary School Principal and Nelson, an Archaeology student who was apprenticed with Make it Happen, gave us another walk and Tapas and Feni tour through Fontainhas in the evening. We went to four Bars and Club and tried Feni cocktails and various Tapas. Nicely curated and even the young in the group enjoyed the experience.
