Electric Vehicle Rides with the Grinch

From Saturday, November 15, 2025, to Sunday, January 11, 2026, Tasting Tours presents the Grinch, a tour guide with attitude, on a 45-minute ride aboard an electric vehicle. This family-friendly tour for those who are not frightened by a grouchy green fellow in a Santa suit, presents a relaxed and often funny way to tour the town and enjoy the holiday. 

With a chip on his shoulder, the Grinch begrudgingly passes through downtown in an open-air electric car where Christmas lights shine bright on all the shops, as wreaths, bows, and an entire enchanting city of decor bring the holiday to life. As "Whoville" is in full swing, the Grinch plays holiday music (only because it's part of his job) while attempting to share his perspectives on the season of joy.
