Fall is almost upon us, bringing with it the return of Whistler’s favorite food and drink festival – Cornucopia! Each day of Cornucopia is packed with events, where visitors will have the chance to discover some of the best food and drink from BC and beyond. This fall, the festival will be held from November 8th-18th at a variety of venues and hot spots around Whistler.
The festival truly is a haven for food and drink enthusiasts, with opportunities to learn from expert keynote speakers, gain new skills at chef demonstrations and “geek out at our workshops”. Other fantastic events include signature tastings, drink seminars and many more.
Although we would love to spend all 11 days indulging in Cornucopia events, we have picked some of our favorite signature events to share with you.
For the complete schedule and to purchase event tickets, simply visit www.whistlercornucopia.com. And of course, don’t forget to check our availability and secure your accommodation in Whistler.
