If you’re a total foodie, you MUST check out the Gourmet Food & Wine Expo, happening November 22-25 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Sample savoury wines, special cocktails and unique craft beers while you nibble on exotic foods from around the world. You can also watch gourmet chef demonstrations and learn a thing or two for the next time you cook dinner for your partner.

Tickets range from $20-40 depending on the day, as well as open and close times. Buying online is recommended to ensure you get a spot, but you can also buy at the door if you’re feeling risqué. All participants must be at least 19 years old.
