DINING
Vancouver, Coast & Mountains is the scene of a food & wine revolution! Adjectives like diverse, fresh, delicious and unique don't even begin to describe the true nature of the region's bounty. World class cuisine from every corner of the globe is readily available throughout the region. West coast cuisine shares the bill with Asian Fusion, Japanese, Italian, Indian, Mexican, Vegetarian, Chinese, Thai, French, Fish & Chipperies, Micro Breweries and Fruit Wineries.
From the Sea
Naturally our location so close to the Pacific Ocean provides a readily available supply of the freshest of the fresh seafood. The catch of the day graces the plates of restaurants with our famous BC salmon, halibut, cod, crab, scallops and oysters. Prepared simply, fantastically or fantastically simple… enjoy your “catch of the day” in a fine dining establishment, a trendy eatery, a casual pub or right on the docks.
From the Farm
Farm Fresh is a phrase heard repeatedly in Vancouver, Coast & Mountains. Just east of Vancouver is the Fraser Valley, a lush, picturesque and productive valley which is home to a multitude of farms working diligently to deliver produce from the farm directly to the plate or to the visitor. Find fresh fruit and vegetables in season, farm-raised meat and eggs and extra special treats like home made jams and jellies. Make sure to visit local farmers markets all around the region, or why not follow a self-guided
Circle Farm Tour.
From the Vineyards
Vancouver, Coast & Mountains, and in particular Mighty Fraser Country, is quickly becoming a popular wine touring destination. Once home to just one outstanding winery, it has been joined in recent years by a number of others, each offering visitors an experience as unique as the wines they produce. Due to the proximity of the wineries, visitors enjoy a stunning drive through rolling pasture land, next to the constant presence of the legendary Fraser River. Relax in the pastoral setting of our wine country, and don’t forget to taste! Award winning varietals include Semillon, White Meritage, Un-Oaked Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Gamay Noir and Pinot Noir. And make sure to try the spectacular fruit wines that are available including Cranberry, Blackberry, Peach Apricot and Iced Apple. All wineries are open year-round for tours and tastings, and all have retail wine shops.
