Explore the rich history of Toronto's first luxury hotel, the Omni King Edward, and savor its delicious flavors. Join us for a captivating tour of this iconic 1903 property and learn about its famed clientele and deep connection to the historic Distillery District. After the tour, elevate your experience with a special Canadian whisky tasting at the Consort Bar, where rich local flavors please every palate.

For an even deeper dive into Toronto’s history, you can add a tour of the Distillery District, once home to the massive 1832 Gooderham and Worts distilling facility. Now a vibrant arts and entertainment hub, the district’s cobblestone streets are lined with Victorian-era industrial buildings that have been transformed into contemporary art galleries, coffee shops, boutiques, restaurants and bars.

Alternatively, add an unforgettable St. Lawrence Market Food Tour to your experience. With a 200-year history, this covered market is Toronto's culinary heart and a must-visit for food lovers. We've handpicked some of the best vendors for you to explore, with delicious tastings ranging from artisan mustards to one of Toronto's most famous sandwiches.
