Avital Experiences

Avital Experiences is an American event and experience company that designs interactive food and drink experiences for corporate groups, clients, families, and friends. Founded in 2011 by Avital Ungar, who serves as CEO, the company positions itself as an event curator rather than a traditional caterer or tour operator. Its stated mission is to help people connect better through shared food and drink, which it calls "the ultimate connector." The company operates food tours in San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles, and delivers interactive meals, mingling hours, foodie stations, virtual events, and custom experiences nationwide and, for virtual formats, worldwide. It builds experiences in 12 cities across the United States and can onboard custom restaurant locations for events outside those cities. Avital's product line is organized around group size and format. Food tours take guests to multiple restaurants for one seated meal at reserved tables. Interactive Meals are multi-course dinners with hosted activities woven throughout. Interactive Mingling Hours pair canapés and drinks with interactive activities, while Interactive Foodie Stations bring hands-on culinary bars to reception-style events. Virtual Events combine a live host, a delivered kit, and foodie activities for remote groups. Custom events are built to order. Pricing shown on the company's corporate holiday party page ranges from roughly $50 per guest for virtual events to $99+ for festive food tours, $160+ for mingling hours, $190+ for interactive meals, and about $5,000 for foodie stations for large groups. The company markets heavily to corporate organizers, team-building planners, and people planning client entertainment or holiday parties. Its brand voice is playful and anti-formal, promising "no forced fun, no awkward mixers, no stiff banquet halls." Avital emphasizes hands-on participation — turning spectators into participants — and describes its team as "passionate foodies, quirky storytellers, and professional planners." Core values include "Embrace Quirky," "Breathe Curiosity," "Improve Continuously," "Build Awesome Experiences," "Communicate Compassion," and "Nourish Community." The company has been featured in media, according to its own site, and maintains a resources section with team-building content such as food-themed icebreakers. Avital Experiences is a private company. It does not appear to be publicly listed, and no parent company or larger group is identified in the available evidence. Its headquarters are in San Francisco, California, and its primary market is the United States, with virtual offerings extending worldwide.

Avital Experiences was founded in 2011 by Avital Ungar, who remains CEO and founder. The company began as a food tour operator and grew into a broader event and experience design business. Its early identity centered on guided food tours in major U.S. cities, and it continues to run food tours in San Francisco, New York City, and Los Angeles. Over time, the company expanded its format beyond walking tours to include seated interactive meals, mingling hours, foodie stations, virtual events, and fully custom experiences. By the mid-2020s, Avital described itself as building experiences in 12 cities across the United States, with virtual events available worldwide and the ability to onboard custom restaurant locations for events outside its core cities. The company's growth reflects the broader corporate demand for team-building and client entertainment that is participatory rather than passive. Avital's marketing emphasizes that traditional dinners are "boring" and that its experiences turn spectators into participants. It has developed a distinct brand voice and a set of published core values — Embrace Quirky, Breathe Curiosity, Improve Continuously, Build Awesome Experiences, Communicate Compassion, and Nourish Community — that it says guide both its experiences and its company culture. Its hiring process reportedly includes asking prospective employees to give a video tour of their fridge, a practice the company says reveals hosting ability and personality. Avital has been featured in media, according to its own website, and maintains a resources section with content such as team-building icebreakers about food. The company's corporate holiday party offerings for 2026 illustrate its current product mix and pricing: Interactive Meal at $190+ per guest, Interactive Mingling Hour at $160+ per guest, Interactive Foodie Stations at about $5,000 for 50+ guests, Festive Food Tours at $99+ per guest, and Remote Virtual Holiday Events at $50+ per guest. These offerings are hosted end-to-end, meaning Avital handles planning and execution so organizers can participate rather than manage logistics. As of the available evidence, Avital Experiences remains a private company with no disclosed parent or group affiliation. It is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and operates primarily in the United States, with virtual formats extending its reach worldwide.
