Alberta Food Tours’ 2025 gift list for food lovers.
Are you stumped for gifts for the food lovers on your list? We’ve got you! Here’s Alberta Food Tours’ 2025 gift list for Alberta food lovers.
- Alberta has a number of cooking schools and classes around the province. Calgary has the Cookbook Co Cooks and Lemon and Ladle’s Cozy Cooking Classes which include a Singles Pasta-making class | Red Deer has The Cooking Room | Lethbridge’s Umami Shop rocks Asian cooking classes and Edmonton’s Awn Kitchen offer courses featuring different culture’s cuisines throughout the year.
- For classes focused on all things sweet, check out Calgary’s Ollia Macarons and Tea for macaron classes and Master Chocolate for chocolate-making classes or Edmonton’s Duchess Atelier for baking classes.
- Does your food lover love ice cream? Check out the Made by Marcus ice cream-making workshops or hire Calgary’s Noto Gelato to attend your special event.
- Edmonton’s On Our Table designer Geof Lilge continues to produce the most beautiful charcuterie boards in Canada. I’ve used mine for years and they’ve become a beloved part of my entertaining.
- Calgary’s Peasant Cheese offers cheese club subscriptions for 3, 6, or 12 months. Every month, recipients will savour three new cheeses with accompaniments and crackers.
- The Carter Ryan Gallery and Live Art Venue in Canmore is hosting holiday productions again this year. A gallery by day, and a live theatre stage at night, you cold combine tickets with a fun dinner at a pub or favourite fine dining option to make great holiday memories together.
- Want something fun for a family of 4 with tweens or teens? The Alberta Food Finder self-guided food tour in downtown Canmore or Calgary’s Kensington District is just $50 for 2+ hours of entertainment for 4 people using one device. It’s a riot with fun treats included and lots of exclusive discounts along the way.
- Book high tea for your tea lover. Our Alberta Food Tours team drove down to Nanton for the Noble Tea House experience last spring and thoroughly enjoyed the experience while also supporting women in a recovery program.
- Give the latest cookbooks with a buzz: Sammi Tamimi’s Boustany | Good Things: Recipes and Rituals to Share with People You Love: A Cookbook by Samin Nosrat and Aya Brackett | Ottolenghi’s Comfort Food | Dennis Prescott’s Cook with Confidence | Anna Olsen’s Baking Wisdom | our friends at Best of Bridge have a wonderful new book out with recipes that can all be made in one pan or skillet! : Done in One
- Of course, I think the very best gift of all is an Alberta Food Tours’ gift certificate. I believe joy and memories come from unique experiences. These moments create a lasting impact, something that stays with us in a deeper way. You can give them in any denomination or for a particular tour. You can also book a private tour for a special occasion or for a team outing. We’d love to be part of your life and all our tours for 2026 are up on our calendar including the 2026 Cookie Crawls!
I hope this list has sparked some ideas and energy to carry you over the holiday gift giving finish line! May you have a joyous and healthy time with some rest and relaxation and a chance to gather with whomever you love the most.
With blessings for your health and prosperity,
Karen Anderson, President,
Alberta Food Tours
