OTTAWA TASTING TOURS



Hello fellow foodies,

During these difficult times, our number one priority is the safety of our guests and team members. We are following the directives of the provincial and federal government's state of emergency declaration and have temporarily suspended our operations as required by law.

During this unprecedented situation, we have amended our no cancellation/no refund policy and will honor all bookings at a later date, as soon as it is safe to do so.

Please note that gift cards DO NOT expire and can be used anytime that is convenient for you, subject of course to availability.

Due to the volume, we are experiencing, we apologize for any delays you may be having trying to reach us. We are working from home with a limited team currently. Rest assured we will get back to you as soon as possible.

The best method of contact is by email. Please direct inquiries to info@Ottawatastingtours.com
We hope that you, your families and friends, are staying safe and doing your part to help flatten the curve. We are all in this together as we navigate this uncharted territory. It is hard but it is the right thing to do. We thank you for your support of our small family-owned business and your patience and understanding.



"ABSOLUTE DELIGHT!"



"Best tour ever!"





"We just did the tour this evening with our guide, Nick. He was very knowledgeable and pleasant and ensured all the members of our group were taken care of. The variety of food and drink that we had at each location was phenomenal. The service was fast and staff were exceptional and we were able to try foods that I normally wouldn’t order. We had our own table set aside and felt like we were all VIP’s. I would come back to Ottawa and do this tour again. Best tour ever!"
- Helen B from Brampton, Canada



Byward Market Food and Craft Beer Tour





I took my husband on this tour for his birthday as he really likes craft beers. We had a great time with our guide Nick! He was very knowledgeable about the craft beer scene in Ottawa and the surrounding area. We had a 3-course lunch with craft beer pairings. It was delicious and a wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon in the Byward Market. I would definitely recommend this tour for you beer lovers out there!!
