About Distillery District

Once the Gooderham and Worts distillery, one of the largest whisky producers in the British Empire, this pedestrian-only precinct is now North America's largest collection of Victorian industrial architecture. Red-brick warehouses house independent shops, restaurants, and public art installations. The annual Toronto Christmas Market takes over the square in winter.
