If you want to visit the ‘hippest’ place in downtown Toronto, this is where you want to be. In just the past few years, The Distillery District has become one of the most romantic and enjoyable destinations in the city.
The Distillery District is Toronto’s first pedestrian-only village and the city’s only historic district. From the brick lined streets to the European piazza styled areas, this area of the city is said to be “picture postcard perfect.”
Over the past few years this new urban hot spot has attracted the best in art and culture, including:
- Internationally acclaimed galleries
- Artists from all corners of the arts spectrum
- Theatres
- Restaurants
- Cafes
- Boutique retailers
Founded in 1832 by Brothers-in-law William Gooderham and James Worts, the Gooderham and Worts Distillery eventually became the largest distillery in the British Empire.
Set on 13 acres in downtown Toronto, the forty plus buildings constitute the largest and best-preserved collection of Victorian Industrial Architecture in North America. The Distillery District is a national historic site.
