This is a flavor-packed experience that you can take home with you!
Join Unexpected Atlanta, the city’s #1-rated tour company with over 2,400 glowing reviews and a decade of delicious storytelling for a one-hour journey where tasting and creating come together.
To understand the magic of spices, you’ll head into our Spice Lab for a hands-on session that’s part experiment, part creativity.
You’ll play with spices in a whole new way, exploring things like why cinnamon doesn’t mix with water, how alliums deepen and transform over time, and what actually happens when flavors bloom, toast, or rest during different guide-led spice experiments.
Then it’s your turn.
Using what you’ve learned, you’ll create two of your own custom spice blends to take home.
It’s relaxed, a little nerdy in the best way, and a lot of fun.
Conveniently located in downtown Atlanta near Centennial Olympic Park, it’s easy to fit this experience in before or after your visit to the main tourist sites.
