The tour then strolls along the beautiful harbour to the historic Rogers’ Chocolates to sample an Egg Nog cream, to Bon Macaron for some holiday-themed macrons, then to OSO Bakery for a savory holiday treat.

After visiting the Festival of Trees inside the Bay Centre with a shopping stop at the Victoria Market Collective, the tour then stops at The Tuscan Kitchen to sample some rare and traditional Italian Panettone. We then get decadent with a mini Raclette from L’apero Wine & Cheese Bistro. Raclette is a traditional Alpine dish that involves heating a wheel of cheese and scraping the melted cheese onto potatoes. Guests will have an opportunity to add a festive glass of wine for an additional cost. The tour ends with a drinking chocolate and truffles from Chocolate & Co. The tour also includes a few short stops at local shops for an opportunity to do some holiday shopping with an exclusive discount!
