Chef David Garcelon on a Shop with a Chef Tour

With a host of exceptional attractions to experience, and Niagara Falls just a one-hour drive away, Toronto is a city brimming with a diverse and lively culture.

Whether it’s wandering the antique halls of the city’s castle Casa Loma, tasting the Toronto classic peameal bacon on a bun, or taking in the breathtaking views from 116 stories up at the world-famous CN Tower, Toronto’s wealth of elite experiences promise to impress.

THE TORONTO BOTANICAL GARDEN

The Toronto Botanical Gardens offer an array of 17 award-winning contemporary themed garden areas spanning nearly four acres.

Designed to educate and inspire, the Toronto Botanical Garden reflects the compact scale of typical urban gardens in an effort to motivate visitors into translating ideas into their own gardens. Private tours can also be arranged, and include visits to Toronto’s other horticultural spots, Edwards Gardens, Allan Gardens and the Toronto Music Garden. Led by experts from master gardener groups, horticultural societies, and other gardening enthusiast groups, the tours add to the beauty of these locations. In 2011, tours to the Gardens of Casa Loma were also introduced, blending formal and elegant perennial borders with vibrant wildflowers, rhododendrons, iris, roses and seasonal displays.

CASA LOMA

THE EUROPEAN-INSPIRED CASA LOMA

Casa Loma, Spanish for ‘house on the hill’, was built between 1911 and 1914 for Canadian financier and industrialist, Sir Henry Pellatt and his family.

Inspired by the elegance and splendor of European design, the castle boasts exquisitely decorated suites, secret passages, an 800-foot tunnel, towers, stables, and a beautiful five-acre garden estate. Wander through Peacock Alley, a reproduction of its namesake at Windsor Castle, or explore the Billiard Room where Pallett and the castle’s architect, E.J. Lennox recorded a long-running game of billiards. A Major General in Canada’s second oldest regiment, the Queen’s Own Rifles, Sir Henry Pellatt had a love of fine art and architecture, interests that are reflected throughout the castle.
