Edible Vancouver Island March/April 2024

This year, To no Wine and Dine expands to a two-day weekend event! It all happens June 1st & 2nd, at the Best Western Plus Tin Wis Resort, overlooking beautiful MacKenzie Beach on the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation. This is the second year that this event is hosted on the front lawn of the Tin Wis Resort, now o ering guests two distinct experiences highlighting the West Coast culinary scene and beyond. With up to 100 presenters from leading restaurants, vineyards, distilleries, breweries, and more, attendees can expect an unforgettable experience lled with education, exploration, and whimsy with the sparkling ocean as a backdrop. The two days are split by cuisine: Saturday is a sophisticated seafood forward event, while Sunday transports you to the back forty for both modern and traditional takes on BBQ. SATURDAY, JUNE 1ST Sip by the Shore - A Celebration of Wine & West Coast Seafood This is the ultimate wine lover’s event featuring mouth watering seafood dishes by premier chefs. Imagine a lavish seaside garden party with BC wine tastings paired with delectable hors-d’oeuvres of fresh seafood. Sip and savour while enjoying a variety of lawn games, picnic seating vignettes and local music performances. SUNDAY, JUNE 2ND Grilling in the Garden - A Showcase of Smoked Meats, Seafood, Spirits & Cocktails On Sunday, the festival shifts focus to a rustic western-charmed garden party. Think owy dresses, cowboy boots, tailored suits & bolo ties. Guests can anticipate a showcase of BBQ legends visiting from across Canada and the U.S., lawn games, and a cocktail contest for the title of To no’s ‘Best in Mixology’! Attend a single event or both to make it a full weekend experience this June! Tickets can be purchased by going to to nowinedine.com
