Vegan, Vegetarian and Allergy Notes
The food walk, in both halves
The flagship listing says it is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. It also says that vegetarian and vegan options are available on 24 hours’ notice, with an adjusted offering. Both halves are true and neither one on its own is the answer. What it means in practice is that the thirteen tastings are built around seafood, meat, chocolate and cheese, and a plant-based version is a different, smaller set of things put together for you in advance. If you want it, ask more than a day ahead. If you turn up without asking, the answer is no.
The aperitivo tour
Not suitable for vegans or vegetarians, without a notice period attached. It also carries a minimum age of 20, because alcohol is served at every stop, and caps at six. It runs three hours and needs at least two people to go at all. The drink tastings.
The dog
The home-hosted lunch happens in somebody’s house, and there is a small dog in that house. The listing says participants must not be allergic to dogs. That is not a preference question and there is no version of the booking without it. Two and a half hours, capped at four. Whether it works with children.
Nut and food allergies on the day trips
One of the longer day trips out of Bergen — a thirteen-hour Voss farm, Flåm Railway and Nærøyfjord day, capped at six — states that it is not suitable for anyone with animal, food or nut allergies. The six-hour Hardangerfjord day does not carry that exclusion, and its food content is one waffle and a small tasting of a local drink. Fjord days from Bergen.
The cider tasting does not publish a dietary note at all — Not stated. It is ninety minutes of craft cider from Hardanger with the history explained, a tasting rather than a meal, so the question mostly does not arise; if something matters to you, raise it when you book.
Booking with 24 hours’ notice
The food walk is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians, but vegetarian and vegan options are available on 24 hours’ notice with an adjusted offering — so book far enough ahead to use that window, and say what you need at the time of booking rather than at the meeting point. Three and a half hours, thirteen tastings, capped at eight.
