Noisy and chaotic, yet irresistibly atmospheric, Granville Island is Canada's second most-visited destination behind Niagara Falls. This is Vancouver's destination for lovers of food, art and culture. Offering fresh, local, seasonal produce, alongside a slice of local life, this is where guests rub elbows with Vancouver's chefs as they shop for the day's menu. During the tour, guests will savor a cornucopia of fine foods from independent farmers and food artisans throughout Vancouver and nearby farms; from cheeses to locally-made charcuterie, candied salmon to melt-in-your-mouth donuts. Touring Granville Island Public Market will be one of the most authentic ways to experience Vancouver - after all, what better way to feel the pulse of the city than to immerse yourself in the action?
You’ll skip the lines and indulge in over 20 signature Canadian tastings, including organic breads, local charcuterie, British Columbia cheeses, melt-in-your-mouth donuts and more!
Rates vary by day of the week
Meet outside the Granville Island Public Market building (near the corner of Duranleau Street and Johnston Street), across the road from A Bread Affair. Look for the Foodie Tour Guide in a red top.
We look forward to seeing you!
