Gingerbread Donuts and Spiced Chai Lattes Headline Seasonal Christmas Classics Market Tour
‘Tis the season for gingerbread and eggnog, glazed ham and cranberry sauce, and decadent desserts cluttering lunchroom tables across the city – and there’s no more magical place to begin your holiday menu shopping than Granville Island. To assist you in tasting nearly every seasonal delicacy offered by Granville Island’s talented vendors, Vancouver Foodie Tours is staging a seasonal Christmas Classics Market Tour that offers guests the rare opportunity to skip the lines and indulge in a festive array of handcrafted holiday delights.
Granville Island positively sparkles during the Christmas season with lavish garlands festooning the market, lampposts bedecked with elaborate wreaths and nostalgic carols brought to life by talented street performers. Of course, the food is the main draw and the Christmas Classics Market Tour packs in a healthy dose of 20-plus tastings over the course of two hours. In addition to trying seasonal charcuteries from Oyama Sausage Company, flavourful cranberry bread at Holiday Breads, freshly made gingerbread donuts from Lee’s and more, guests will learn of one-of-a-kind gifts available from Granville Island’s 300-plus businesses, chat one-on-one with artisans, and depart with an exclusive discount book courtesy of Vancouver Foodie Tours.
The Christmas Classics Market Tour runs from December 15 to 30, and starts at $51.99 per person. The tasting journey begins at 10.30am, so we suggest eating a very light breakfast – you’re guaranteed to depart with a satisfyingly filled tummy. To book, click here.
