Taste Detours

Taste Detours Award-winning guided food + drink tours in Guelph, Elora and Wellington County wide. Moveable feasts!

We want to share our love of Wellington County by pointing out the culinary links between our rural heritage and our growers and makers of today. This region has deep agricultural roots, so food – fresh, good, local, food – comes naturally to us. We celebrate the power of a full plate, cup, or bowl, to bring people and communities together.

WHY EAT LOCAL? There are many reasons why someone may choose to eat local food, including benefits to the local economy, creating direct relationships with individuals growing your food, distance from farm to plate and more. What are yours?

It’s time.

Time to remember how good it feels to break bread with each other.
With family, friends, co-workers, and yes, strangers.

There’s much to mull over.
There will always be much to celebrate too. Connection, a shared experience, where our food and drink comes from, who’s making it…so much.

So come walk, talk, and taste with me and my regional food partners during these next cold winter months. Elora Grand Food Tour is February 22 and it’s sure to warm you right through.

One thing’s for sure, local never tasted so good. Find out more at tastedetours.ca.

Still embracing this by developing travel experiences that centre the success of local people, businesses and communities.

Tourism that enables residents to thrive in place by showcasing and sharing their amenities with outsiders in way that infuses valued capital into the system. This capital is reinvested back into the system to ensure that core natural and cultural amenities flourish over time.

Thank you for this refreshed and regenerative look at what tourism is (should be), Dr. Nicole Vaugeois.

Taste Detours has always integrated these ideas into our tours, and strives to continue on a path beyond sustainability and towards

The living-est people order Carefully Curated Picnics in February. This really drives home that belief we have at Taste Detours HQ: We are seasoned Canadians, so we tour all year long.

Now this particular picnic (only partially shown here) may be being enjoyed fireside in the living room, or outside in a snow fort for all we know. What you do with your picnic is yours to tell. Far be it for us to dictate how one should nosh.

I do know that this was an early Valentine’s gift, so pulled out all the stops to make this Food Tour in a basket (or two) an especially lovely offering from many of our food friends.

Do you want to picnic too? 🧺

20,000+ people in Guelph-Wellington still don’t have the food they need to be well.
We can do better!

It's one week until Giving Tuesday. You can give any time at www.theseedguelph.ca/donate.

TOGETHER we can give everyone in Guelph-Wellington the chance to be part of a connected community where we all have enough good food (and all the health and wellbeing that entails)!

Join us December 7 for Elora Grand Food Tour!

Visit Elora and join us on our Moveable Feast, a food and drink tour that will delight all your senses. It’s not hard to be wowed by the natural beauty of Elora, but you really need to take a bite out of it too. There’s a wealth of culinary talent in Elora, a place that Canadian artist A.J. Casson coined, “Ontario’s most beautiful Village.”

On this guided culinary tour, we’ll take you to visit stunning restaurants, a pub, a bakery, a distillery, and other culinary businesses to sample some of their most delicious flavours, and learn about the people behind these food & beverage hotspots. In between these tasting stops, we’ll discuss the rich architectural and cultural heritage that surrounds us, and we’ll share some local lore.

This little village never tasted so good 👉 https://tastedetours.ca/tour/elora-grand-food-tour/
