Was just in Portland for a convention and happened upon Forktown Tours. My friends and I did the N. Mississippi tour and were thrilled with the variety of foods, great taste and accompanying beverages we experienced. Our guide was personable and passionate. Can’t wait to go back to Portland and experience the other tours offered by Forktown.
