    Registration is closed

    Join us on a walking food tour on Wednesday, September 3th at 11:00 a.m.  We stop at 5 local places in downtown Collingwood and have a tasting at each spot.

    The guide has historical knowledge of Collingwood as well as background on all the restaurants.  The vast majority of the tour takes place outside; however, where space permits, we are invited inside the restaurant. Sometimes we are joined by the owners for a bit of a chat.  Participants exchange stories about their favourite local restaurants and get to try new things on the menu of places they may have been to before.  The spots are not revealed before the tour which makes it fun to wonder, "Where are we going next?" 

    The cost of the food tour is $52.00.  Registration opens on July 16th and there is a maximum of 20 participants.  If the event is full, join the wait list as there is a possibility of opening more spaces.  

    This event is organized by Colleen W. and Stephen C. 

    Tickets are non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, it is your responsibility to find a replacement and have the replacement refund you for the ticket price. The organizer may be able to help you with this by providing a list of members on the waitlist.
