St. Jacobs/ Toronto Shopping Getaway

St. Jacobs / Toronto Shopping Getaway

This fall, join us on a tour through Southern Ontario visiting the small rural village of St. Jacobs and its famous "Farmer's Market" as well as Toronto's upscale Yorkdale & Vaughan Mills shopping centers. The scenic riverside village of St. Jacobs, located just outside of Kitchen er/Waterloo, is a charming artisan community where the simplicities of small town life complement the fabulous shopping in nearly 100 specialty shops and artist's studios. The Farmer's Market itself is a unique and lively shopping experience. Here, you will find aisle upon aisle of fresh local produce, meats, cheese, baking, crafts, home decor, furniture, clothes, tools and more. Surrounding the Farmer's Market, explore the quality high end stores in the outlet mall or visit the Quilted Heirloom which features handcrafted Mennonite quilts. Enroute to and from St. Jacobs, we will ease our journey by exploring two of Toronto's most famous malls. Catch up on the latest style trends, tick off your Christmas shopping list or simply spoil yourself!
