Join us at our innovative series of dinner events that combine the pleasure of a dinner party - with the educational program of the evening in a casual, unique environment. Our culinary activities have been profiled in Gourmet Magazine, Saveur Magazine, Bon Appetite and Harrowsmith. Come see why these people are talking about the food of the Cowichan Valley.

Come hungry and prepare your tastebuds to be dazzled. Each menu is a one-of-a-kind culinary event based on the day's theme and seasonal local ingredients.
