This is a three-hour gastronomic walking tour through Vancouver's Gastown neighborhood. The tour begins at Maple Tree Square, the central intersection of Gastown, where guests receive an introduction to the area's atmosphere and history. The group then visits the Gastown Steam Clock, a rare working steam-powered clock, spending about ten minutes there. Next, the tour continues with a fifteen-minute walk through Blood Alley Square, known for its narrow cobblestone lanes, historic streetlights, and brick buildings. The progressive meal takes place across three different Gastown restaurants, each offering a unique style and menu. The first stop is Water St. Café, where guests enjoy classic Italian cuisine influenced by the West Coast, accompanied by an award-winning BC-focused wine and beverage list, and live music for about forty minutes. The second restaurant offers creative cocktails and seasonal dishes served in a century-old warehouse with a 38-foot bar, with a thirty-minute visit. The final restaurant, Monarca, features playful Mexican-fusion dishes inspired by Chef Higareda’s family traditions, with a lively atmosphere for about thirty minutes. Along with the food tastings, guests receive three alcoholic pairings including craft beer, wine, and cocktails. The tour also includes an interactive mixology experience where guests create their own cocktail. A printed guide with additional foodie recommendations and discounts is provided. The tour includes dinner and is suitable for guests aged 19 and older due to the alcohol pairings. Vegetarian and pescatarian options are available with advance notice. The tour operates in all weather conditions. Hotel pickup and private transportation are not included.
