Overview

Join us for a delightful culinary adventure through Vancouver's historic Gastown district. Our tour begins at the iconic Maple Tree Square, where you'll soak in the vibrant atmosphere and learn about the rich history of this charming neighborhood.

We'll visit the famous Steam Clock, a true landmark that delights visitors with its steam-powered whistles and fascinating engineering. As we wander through the intriguing Blood Alley, you'll discover the hidden gems and stories that make Gastown unique.

You'll have an enticing selection of tastings from savory Ukrainian-style wild boar, unique fusion cuisine that blends traditional Mexican flavors with contemporary twists, and coastal French-inspired cuisine, all made with locally sourced produce resulting in dishes that are both elegant and flavorful, highlighted with an exclusive make-your-own cocktail experience.
