What to Expect
Stop at: Distillery Historic District
Continue to the atmospheric Distillery Historic District, where Victorian-era brick buildings and pedestrian streets provide one of the most distinctive settings in Toronto. Explore the district with your guide and hear the story of its industrial and distilling heritage. Then sit down or stop at the selected partner venue for another Canadian classic: poutine. Taste the famous combination of fries, cheese curds and gravy while learning how a dish that originated in Quebec became one of the foods most strongly associated with Canada. This stop creates a satisfying savory midpoint after the market tastings and gives guests time to relax before continuing toward the waterfront. Included tasting: Canadian poutine
Stop at: St. Lawrence Market
Begin your culinary journey at historic St. Lawrence Market, one of Toronto's best-known food destinations. Explore the market with your guide while discovering how food, immigration, trade and local traditions helped shape Toronto. Start with one of the city's signature foods: a peameal bacon sandwich. Learn what makes peameal bacon different from conventional bacon and why the sandwich became so closely associated with St. Lawrence Market. Follow it with a traditional butter tart, one of Ontario's classic sweet treats. Then discover another side of the province with a small Ontario icewine tasting at a participating wine merchant. Learn how Ontario's cold winters make it possible to produce this intensely sweet wine and why Canadian icewine became internationally recognized. Included tastings: Peameal bacon sandwich Butter tart Ontario icewine tasting for guests aged 19+
Stop at: Old Toronto
Leave the market and continue through the historic streets of Old Toronto. As you walk, hear stories about the city's transformation from an early trading settlement into today's multicultural metropolis. Stop at Tim Hortons for a coffee and small snack and experience something very different from the traditional foods at the market: an everyday Canadian ritual. Your guide explains how coffee culture—and Tim Hortons in particular—became such a familiar part of daily life across Canada. Included: Tim Hortons coffee Small Canadian snack
Stop at: Lake Ontario
Walk toward Toronto's waterfront as the surroundings shift from Victorian industrial architecture to the modern city and Lake Ontario. Along the way, hear how Toronto's relationship with the lake shaped its development, commerce and neighborhoods. This walking section also helps balance the food tastings and gives guests time to enjoy the city between stops.
Stop at: Toronto Harbourfront
Finish the experience beside Lake Ontario with one of Canada's most playful desserts: a freshly prepared BeaverTail pastry. Enjoy the warm pastry while taking in the waterfront atmosphere and Toronto skyline. Your guide brings together the flavors experienced throughout the tour—from Toronto market food and Ontario baking traditions to Canadian coffee culture, poutine, icewine and the final waterfront treat. Included tasting: BeaverTail pastry The tour ends at Toronto Harbourfront, leaving guests in a convenient area for the CN Tower, waterfront attractions, Toronto Islands ferry area and further downtown sightseeing.
