Year 17 of our Tofino Food and Wine Festival approaches! A weekend of food and wine events on the west coast. Its signature event, Grazing in the Gardens, is one of enormous popularity. Picture a showcase of local culinary talent and British Columbia wines, craft ciders and beers, in the beautiful Tofino Botanical Gardens – it’s a setting like no other.

And on this 17th year, there will be 20 Chefs, 75 Wineries & 21 Breweries!

In 2003, the festival began as a small, local event, and has since grown into a destination weekend for out of town guests. Grazing is a chance to mingle with Tofitians, meet local chefs, island purveyors, regional winemakers and more. Set in the rainforest, its surroundings provide a grassroots ambiance combined with pleasant surprises throughout the winding paths. It is truly a memorable weekend, and a wonderful way to experience the west coast.

The Cocktail Show

The West Coast’s premier Cocktail & Tapas showcase features an array of mixologists and chefs creating cocktail and food pairings. Also featuring both foreign and domestic wineries, spirit and craft beer tastings.

Grazing In The Gardens

Grazing in the Gardens, Tofino Food and Wine Festival’s Signature Event, is a showcase of local culinary talent and British Columbia wines, craft ciders and beers, and boutique distilleries, set in the beautiful Tofino Botanical Gardens.

Featuring over 75 BC wines, cider, beer and tonics, paired with gourmet bites, Grazing is a chance to mingle with Tofitians, meet local chefs, island purveyors, regional winemakers and more. Lush rainforest setting surroundings provides for a grassroots ambiance with pleasant surprises throughout the winding garden paths.

Since 2003, Grazing in the Gardens has supported several non profit organizations and community initiatives, including Tofino Botanical Gardens Foundation, Community Children’s Centre, Tofino Community Food Initiative (Tofino’s Community Garden, Wickaninnish Community School Garden Project), Lighthouse Trail and Multi Use Path.

In 2019, Grazing continues to act as the main fundraiser for Tofino Botanical Gardens Foundation, with a Silent Auction benefitting the Wickaninnish Community School Garden Project.
