The Toronto Distillery District was once the site for Gooderham and Worts Distillery, it was founded in 1832. The area is a collection of Victorian industrial architectures and it is reopened since 2003. The district is a National Historic Site and attracts many tourists. It's current owner is Cityscape Holdings Inc. The company kept the originality of the vintage buildings and rent out many of the space to true artists, one-of-a-kind shops, unique boutique and a famous brewery, Mill Street Brewery. The atmosphere these rare shops make the Distillery District all that unique and attractive.
Last summer, one of my cousins who lived in New Zealand came to Toronto for one week then she is going to U.S. for a conference. We were close when we were children and after my 6th birthday her family went to New Zealand. It was a bit of awkward accompany her to every attraction that caught her eye. The Distillery District was on her list. I only went there once and it was a high school field trip and I do not remember much about it. This time we went there after sunset and it was so beautiful, unlike any other place I visited before. The architecture and the shops blind in perfectly, they all gave that vintage but yet very cutting edge urban vibe.
The Distillery District also has a Christmas Market from:
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2014 – SUNDAY, DECEMBER 21, 2014
At that time, there will be a fully decorated Christmas Tree, singing, all kinds of gift sales and so much more. It is a even you do not want to miss.
