What to expect

Step through the gates of the spooky 1820s Creole maisonette and into an evening where New Orleans' sweetest traditions meet its darkest legends. Dessert to Die Tour is an intimate dessert tasting and storytelling experience that takes place entirely on the historic grounds of one of the French Quarter’s oldest homes.
As you move through the candlelit courtyard and into the dining parlor, your host shares the fascinating history behind some of New Orleans' most iconic desserts, paired with chilling ghost stories, local folklore, and tales of the spirits said to still wander the city's oldest neighborhood.

Between each course, your host will share tales of mysterious deaths, restless spirits, and the haunted French Quarter. We end the evening with a candle ritual for the dead under the ancient live oaks with the true story of voodoo and murder that took place there. Discover why so many believe the past never truly leaves this place.
