Fine Dining Dinner Tour in Whistler

Take a break from hitting the slopes and hiking the alpine forest to indulge in some fine British Columbia cuisine. In the early evening, meet your knowledgable guide and group of fellow food enthusiasts at the Listel Hotel Lobby. You’ll get acquainted with some of the hotspots on the agenda before setting off on a 3.5-hour progressive dinner tour.

Start at the famous Barefoot Bistro, home to resident chef Melissa Craig — Canada’s 2008 top chef — as well as an impressive 15,000-bottle wine cellar. Learn the centuries-old French tradition of sabrage, where a sword is used to open a champagne bottle. Your excursion includes four food courses as well as a wine-tasting lesson. You’ll enjoy an array of delectable dishes made with regionally sourced ingredients.

Samples may include a creative amuse-bouche, local wild salmon, cajun-crusted ahi, seasonal desserts and icewine confections at Roger’s Chocolates. (Please check Itinerary section below for sample schedule and menu.) As you try innovative dishes, you’ll quickly understand how Whistler has earned its reputation as a popular food destination.

Your tour concludes in the evening, leaving plenty of time to have a nightcap and a bit more dessert!

Note: To enhance your tasting experience, add the wine pairings upgrade to your tour. Along the way, you’ll sip on delightful samples including a glass of sparkling wine at the sabering lesson, a choice of red or white wine at the next two stops, and a 1-ounce (30-ml) glass of BC's famous icewine at your final destination. Additional drinks available for purchase.
