Our chefs will be working with are geoduck, oysters, clams, halibut and sablefish.
During the reception, before the meal program begins, growers will host a raw bar featuring a variety of raw oysters from different parts of the province to be enjoyed along with the BC wine bar and Townsite Brewing beer bar to complement the experience.
