About Catalina Food Tours
Catalina Food Tours, a family-owned business, was founded in the fall of 2012. Inspired by the annual Avalon Taste Around—a beloved event where locals and visitors sample the island’s culinary offerings—owner Erin Eubank set out to bring that experience to life year-round.
​
Her vision was to create a unique dining adventure that not only showcases Avalon’s flavors but also immerses guests in Catalina’s rich history and culture. Since then, Catalina Food Tours has expanded beyond its signature tour to offer private and custom food experiences. Stay tuned for exciting new offerings and events!
Erin Eubank
Head Foodie
Growing up, all of Erin’s summers were spent in Avalon – her family has been visiting and/or living on Catalina Island since the 1920s. In 2003, Erin and her family moved to the island full time. Our head foodie found a passion for supporting local businesses and sharing Catalina history.
Creating the only Food Tour offered in Avalon has been a mouthwatering adventure! Erin has built an amazing team that looks forward to hosting you on Catalina Island.
