THE GOURMET MARCHÉ IS BACK!

The Tawingo Outdoor Centre eagerly announces the return of its celebrated Gourmet Marché Snowshoe Tour for its third year, joining the ranks of nationwide outdoor culinary extravaganzas. All you need to bring are snowshoes and a craving for delectable delights crafted by Muskoka's talented chefs!

This event encapsulates the quintessence of living in Muskoka: the camaraderie of friends, the splendour of our natural surroundings, and the indulgence in uniquely prepared, sumptuous cuisine!

For the epicureans among us (yes, that's you!), the choice is yours—to snowshoe at your leisure, don fun costumes, and savour delectable dishes presented by local chefs at five stations across marked routes. Additionally, participants can qualify for enticing door prizes, all while contributing to the noble cause of supporting the Huntsville Hospital Foundation!

Tickets go on sale Monday, January 15th, 2024. Registration is limited and we expect to sell out! Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email for your registration and payment. Additional information will be sent your way closer to the date.

Our Program:
You are welcome to arrive anytime after 1pm EST. When you sign-in, you will receive a map of the Tawingo trail system that shows the locations of five food stations. Each station is hosted by a local chef. Each chef offers a slightly different menu. Food will be served at the stations from 2pm-5pm. Participants can snowshoe in any order or direction; visit the food stations; visit extra “Prize Draw” locations (marked on the map) for a chance to win a door prize. There will also be campfires on site, and tubing/sledding is available throughout the day on our hill overlooking Lake Vernon.
