Local Tours

The following local tours are open to all registered GSA Annual Meeting attendees and guests. For short visits and historical tours, it is valuable to have an experienced and knowledgeable tour guide to assist you as you tour the city. Our tour groups are small and provide guests with an opportunity to ask questions and get off the beaten path!

101. Mimosas & a Masterpiece

Sun., 4 Nov., 9 a.m.–1 p.m. Canceled

102. Indy Sampler

Mon., 5 Nov., 9 a.m.–noon. US$68; min. 20 participants.
Guests will enjoy an in-depth sightseeing tour of Indianapolis, including a bit of history and information on the city’s main attractions, restaurants, and citizens. Throughout the tour, guests will be given an opportunity to ask questions of the well-trained guides, who love interacting with attendees.
The Indy Sampler Tour includes one stop allowing guests a stretch break and to experience one of Indy’s unique attractions. The planned stop for GSA will be at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where guests will get a glimpse into the rich racing history at this famed venue—home of the annual Indy 500, the largest one-day sporting event in the world.

103. Wine and All That Jazz

Tues., 6 Nov., 1–3:30 p.m. US$59; min. 20 participants.
Surprising to many, Indianapolis has a deep jazz heritage, along with roots and history of the Underground Railroad that went right through the heart of the city. Guests will learn more about this heritage along Indiana Avenue in the near downtown area en route to the winery. WINE… Nothing is so simply satisfying, yet so deliciously complex. For more than 25 years, the Chateau Thomas Winery has been celebrating this duality by crafting some of the most delightful wines in the country. Guests will take a cellar tour and participate in a wine tasting where they will experience the wines of Indiana’s own Chateau Thomas Winery while nibbling on fruit and cheese.
