This small-group food tour lasts about two hours and takes place at Granville Island Market, located on the shores of False Creek in Vancouver. Guests visit over ten different stops within the market, sampling more than 20 signature Canadian dishes as part of a progressive meal. The tour begins with tastings at Oyama Sausage Co., known for its artisanal meats including pâtés, salamis, hams, and sausages made from exotic and free-range meats. Next, the group stops at a long-standing donut shop that has offered its Honey Dip and classic recipes since 1979. Coffee lovers then visit JJ Bean, a local favorite for espresso and weekend gatherings. The tour also includes a stop at Sen Pad Thai, which serves authentic Thai street food with a focus on Pad Thai and its regional varieties. Another tasting is offered at Hobbs Pickles, a company started to provide New York-style deli pickles in multiple flavors, served directly from their pickle bar. The guide leads guests through the Granville Island Public Market, providing VIP access to food artisans and exclusive tastings not available to other visitors. Benton Brothers Fine Cheese offers a selection of small production cheeses from Canada and abroad, suitable for both beginners and cheese enthusiasts. There is also a stop at a tea shop with over 200 varieties, where guests can try custom cups of tea or purchase leaves for home. Throughout the tour, participants receive a guide with foodie recommendations and Granville Island discounts. The tour does not include hotel pickup or drop-off, and gratuities are not part of the price. It runs regardless of weather, so appropriate attire is advised. Vegetarian and pescatarian options can be requested when booking, but other dietary restrictions may not be accommodated due to tasting limitations.
