The Historic Distillery District is Toronto's newest arts and cultural community. Founded in 1932 by William Gooderham and James Worts, the Gooderham and Worts Distillery was the largest in the British Empire. Wonderfully preserved, the Victorian buildings have been restored to immaculate condition, and are a pleasure to tour. The area itself covers 13 acres of downtown, and is home to many quaint restaurants, cafes and art galleries.

The 44 buildings hold more then 100 small businesses including art galleries, bakeries, a microbrewery, performance venues and non-profit arts organizations. There are guided tours and history lessons to take in, or you can freely wander around and take in the sights as you please. Definite highlights include the Mill Street Brewery and the Pure Spirits Oyster House & Grill.
