When the Gooderham & Worts distillery was revamped in 2003, Toronto got not only a new historic attraction—an amazingly well-preserved example of Victorian industrial architecture—but also a popular party venue, named one of Toronto’s best event spaces by L.A.’s Special Events magazine. Founded in 1832, the Fermenting Cellar is a fine example of what the venue offers, with lots of windows (it’s not actually a cellar), rustic stone walls, original wood trusses and high, beamed ceilings. Popular with everyone from celebrities (Conan O’Brien, for one) and brides to bar mitzvah organizers and corporate types, the 8,000-square-foot space holds 600 for cocktails and 400 for dinner, and is booked up to a year in advance.
