Description:

Explore Vancouver's culinary mecca—Granville Island Public Market—and taste the flavors of this diverse cultural city on a walking food tour. Your expert guide leads you through the many stands, sharing the history of this bountiful bazaar as you munch and sip your way across its grounds.

With more than 12.2 million visitors each year, including local chefs who handpick their menu's ingredients, the market is always busy. Delicious aromas entice you as your guide takes you through a vast array of greengrocers, butchers, bakers, fishmongers, cheesemongers, and sweets stands. Satisfy your palate with tastes of locally cured meat, freshly baked artisan bread, and gourmet cheeses.

With more than 50 permanent vendors and a rotating list of local farmers and merchants, you are in foodie heaven. Venture just outside the market for even more—local wine shops, coffee roasters, a cookbook store, and a sake distillery. After the tour, head back into the market to shop for some treasures to share with the folks back home.
