Victoria Culinary Exploration

Upon booking, you have the option to select between two distinct experiences. Both tours last for two hours and are led by a knowledgeable English-speaking guide who will share insights about the culinary offerings.

The following section outlines what each tour entails:

Downtown Culinary Experience

In this exploration, we will wander through the historic streets of downtown Victoria, starting with a refreshing drink as we head toward one of the area’s most recognizable landmarks by the Inner Harbour. Our next destination will be a wine bar, where we'll discover the nuances of Victoria's wines with a tasting session.

Continuing our tour, a visit to a charming patisserie awaits, where we can enjoy a selection of sweet and savory treats. The downtown area boasts an array of culinary delights, allowing us to savor a Korean corn dog, a kale salad, Cypriot halloumi cheese, and Italian sausages.

To wrap up the downtown experience, we will conclude at a delightful chocolate shop, sampling an assortment of delicious French chocolates and macarons. Our tour ends at the address 1012 Broad Street.

Chinatown Culinary Experience

Explore contemporary tastes in Canada's oldest Chinatown! Our adventure kicks off at the historic Hudson's Bay building and continues to a local market where we’ll taste a comforting traditional soup and Italian arancini.

Delving into the heart of Chinatown, we'll uncover the rich culinary diversity of this historic district of Victoria. Our palate will be delighted with a range of flavors, including a classic Chau Siu pork bao, an innovative Israeli taco, and exquisite French pastries.

As a fitting end to our culinary experience, we will sample Thai-style fried dumplings and toast to enjoyable moments at one of Victoria's premier breweries, accompanied by a craft beer or soft drink. The tour will wrap up at Market Square, where we will bid farewell.
