About this experience
Get your cameras ready for this one. A Taste of Victoria presents its newest food tour offering: Vistas and Views. This tour operates like a progressive-style lunch/dinner. Unlike our original food tour, which does several smaller tastings, Vistas and Views visits 3 restaurants with a different gourmet course served at each stop; an appetizer, a main course, and a dessert for a full 3-course meal! Local beer and wine pairings are available for an extra charge. The restaurants we have chosen have iconic views of the city ranging from sweeping views of the Inner Harbour, to the snow-capped Olympic Mountains.
