Meet Barb Trenchi, Our Owner

Barb took over SoCal Food Tours from Co-Founders Patti Milligan and Kelly Hartford, in November 2012.  She loves living in Coronado and is passionate about showing it off to out-of-town visitors and local-area-visitors alike. Just like your friend or neighbor who tells you about the great restaurant they went to or the interesting story they heard, Barb enjoys sharing her incredible Coronado experience and the history of the island with others. The fascinating facts, fabulous food and fun insider secrets make the Coronado Culinary & History Walking Tour an experience you’ll not soon forget.

Barb has lived in Coronado for the past 16 years and truly believes it is paradise on earth.  When you come on a SoCal Tour, she will likely share her insider secrets and knowledge with you.
