More Ways to Get to the Distillery Winter Village: New Mississauga & Markham Shuttle Departures

Twinkling lights, festive shopping, seasonal treats and Toronto’s historic cobblestone streets—there’s plenty to look forward to at the Distillery Winter Village.

Now, getting there is even easier. By popular demand, Gray Line Toronto is expanding its Distillery Winter Village Shuttle with new departure locations at Square One, Dixie Outlet Mall and Markham Centennial Community Centre.

Our original downtown Toronto loop continues to serve Chelsea Hotel, the Sheraton / Hilton pickup point and 55 York Street. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a festive date or an evening with friends, choose the departure location that works best for you.

Free Winter Village Admission Before 4 p.m.

Planning an afternoon visit? Admission to the Distillery Winter Village is free before 4 p.m.

Arrive before 4 p.m. to enjoy free entry and start exploring the festive shops, decorations and seasonal treats.

Admission after 4 p.m. is not included in your shuttle ticket and must be purchased separately. Your shuttle booking covers transportation. Allow time for travel and traffic when planning your arrival.

Downtown Toronto Shuttle: Three Convenient Pickups

Staying downtown or arriving by GO Train or subway? Choose one of our original pickup locations:

• Chelsea Hotel: Gerrard Street entrance, 33 Gerrard Street West.

With a return ticket, head back to your Distillery drop-off point when you’re ready to leave. Downtown return shuttles run approximately every 15–30 minutes, with the last return departing the Distillery at 10 p.m.
