Hearts and taste palette satisfied
A relaxed walk with feni and tapas trials along the way was just simply amazing. Ended with an authentic Goan lunch.
My Feni Episode
Our guide, Pawam, was an incredible storyteller who explained how Feni is in a Goan households. We tried three Feni cocktails and plain. My favorite was with mix of Kokum and the plain Feni. It’s a wonderful, social way to experience the modern side of Goa’s beverage culture.
A Fantastic Introduction to Goa’s Food, Feni & Culture
The Feni and Tapas Food Trail was an absolutely wonderful experience, especially for first-time visitors to Goa. My friend and I had an amazing time, even though we visited during the off-season. Every stop on the trail was vibrant, stylish, and full of character. A special mention goes to our guide, Pawan, who was incredibly warm, personable, and knowledgeable. He made the experience both memorable and informative, sharing fascinating stories and local insights that we would never have discovered on our own. We booked the tour in the evening, and it turned out to be the perfect choice—a refreshing way to unwind after a long day. The itinerary was thoughtfully curated, with just the right number of venues. Each location had its own unique charm, and Pawan ensured that the pace was comfortable and never felt rushed. The food offered a fresh perspective on Goan cuisine, and the feni cocktails were the perfect introduction to Goa’s iconic local spirit. Everything was beautifully paired, and by the end of the evening, we had fallen in love with feni, Goan food, and even the monsoon rains! This experience gave us a deeper appreciation of Goa’s culture, flavors, and hidden gems. We would happily do the Feni and Tapas Food Trail again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Goa. A big shout-out to Pawan and the team at Make It Happen for creating such an unforgettable experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The stops were lively, stylish, and full of character. They're exactly the kinds of places I'd love to come back to and spend an evening at in the future. Pawan was incredibly personable and made the experience enjoyable from start to finish. Even though I was the only guest on the tour, I felt welcome, comfortable, and never awkward. The itinerary was thoughtfully curated. We visited just the right number of venues, each with its own cool vibe, and the pacing never felt rushed. The food was delicious, the feni cocktails were a great introduction to Goa's local spirit, and everything complemented each other perfectly. If you're looking for a fun way to experience Goa's food and cocktail scene while discovering some fantastic local spots, I'd definitely recommend this tour. And if you can bring a few friends along, I think you'll have an absolute blast!

It was an authentic and memorable experience that went far beyond just tasting great food. Highly recommended!
