Culinary Adventure Co.

Culinary Adventure Co. is a culinary tourism and food tour company based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1][2] It was founded in 2010 by Tania Daviduke.[3][4] Since 2014, it has been owned and operated by Kevin Durkee, who previously owned the cheese-themed Toronto restaurant Cheesewerks.[5] Culinary Adventure Co. is one of Canada's largest provider of culinary tour services.[6]

Services

As of October 2018, Culinary Adventure Co. offers cultural walking food tours in Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, Kingston, and Charlottetown.[7] The tours are guided by local culinary professionals.[8] In 2013, the company was awarded a Canadian Signature Experience designation from the Canadian tourism department, for its Escape the City: Canoe Paddle + Culinary Adventure.[9]

In June 2017, Culinary Adventure Co. partnered with Ritz-Carlton to offer tours exclusively for that hotel's guests.[10] That month, Durkee and a chef from the Ritz-Carlton went on a one-day tasting tour to six Canadian cities,[6] traveling from coast-to-coast in 24 hours to create a "Taste of Canada" menu.[7][11] The Metro News described the event as "The Great Canadian Food Race".[12]
