Explore Chilliwack's District 1881 with a Chew on This Tasty Tour
Full disclosure: this post is mostly just us gushing about how much we love our neighbourhood, our neighbours and our pals at Chew on This Tasty Tours.
BUT, everything we say is true and we've experienced so many people come through our doors on a Tasty Tour having a great time that we wanted to help spread the word.
What's a Chew on This Tasty Tour?
We might as well let them explain in their own words! "(They are) immersive all-inclusive food tours that combine culinary delights with cultural insights across neighbourhoods in British Columbia, ensuring a memorable experience with all-inclusive pricing. Each tour showcases the area’s best local cuisine and artisanal shops, perfect for food lovers and community explorers."
The Chilliwack Culinary Adventure Tour
Embark on a culinary journey through Chilliwack’s vibrant and trendy Downtown, focusing on the historic District 1881. Whether you’re a local or visiting for the first time, this adventure offers a perfect blend of local flavors, artistic exploration, and time spent with your favorite people.
Your tour begins in the heart of District 1881, where every stop is designed to showcase the best of what Chilliwack has to offer. You’ll enjoy curated food tastings from beloved local spots and experience the town’s renowned murals through a guided tour with an art expert.
Explore beyond the district and discover the hidden gems that make Downtown Chilliwack a destination for both food lovers and art enthusiasts. Some of the stops include our neighbours Azzurri Italian Pasticceria, Fortitude Wine Bar and Bricklayer Brewing. And, of course, you start the tour at our Chilliwack coffee shop. Enjoy Chilliwack's best breakfast sandwich and a killer flat white (Or coffee drink of your choice). Our favourite part of the tour is getting to sit down with tour guests to chat about the history of Smoking Gun Coffee, our values, how we've seen the neighbourhood evolve over the years and we try to give some tips on other great places to visit in Chilliwack.
If you're an art or design lover, the guided tour of all the Chilliwack Mural Festival murals in the neighbourhood might be the highlight for you. Artists from across the globe have adorned downtown Chilliwack with beautiful head-turning murals. We even have one on the patio of our cafe. And when you're finished the tour, stick around for some shopping at the local artisan shops including Magnolia & Oak, Raquel Rosalie Jewelry and "Chilliwack's ultimate toy store" CR Sabres among many other shops. It's an incredible day filled with food, drinks and culture in the heart of our beautiful little city.
Hot tip: starting with the Tree Lighting on November 14th, 2024, District 1881 will be adorned with light installations, decorations, live music and performances all holiday season long. It's an especially magical time to book a tour!
