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.
