Flavours of Vancouver

Kick off your day on a Gray Line Westcoast Sightseeing tour. Complete with commentary, the tour is the best way to see the city with hop-on, hop-off tickets that make it easy to get around Vancouver's most popular attractions.

Stay on board and soak in the views until you reach Granville Island. Once little more than industrial land, the island has been transformed into a cultural and culinary hub with artisan stalls and local producers at every turn.

The jewel in the island's crown is the Granville Island Public Market - grab lunch from one of the market vendors and dine al fresco while enjoying spectacular views of downtown. After eating, jump on the trolley and head back to downtown for an afternoon gelato at Bella Gelateria.

In Vancouver, we love our craft beer. This evening you'll get to hail the ale with an organized Vancouver Brewery Tour. Just steps away from your hotel at the historic Waterfront Station, you'll board a private bus before being whisked away to explore behind the scenes of some of our city's favourite breweries, sampling your way through ales, sours, and saisons along the way.

For dinner, head to the acclaimed Hawksworth Restaurant, where Chef David Hawksworth serves up the very finest regional cuisine prepared using time-honoured French techniques and unique West Coast flair. If you're in the mood, why not reach for their award-winning wine list and enjoy a glass of one B.C.'s best vintages?
