Cornucopia –  An abundant, overflowing supply
True to its name, Cornucopia is the fall festival for the indulgent and the connoisseur. Ideally located in the majestic resort town of Whistler, BC, the festival celebrates an exemplary culinary scene and impeccable wines for every type of bon vivant. Offering a truly sensory experience, with winery dinners, interactive seminars, gala wine tastings and electric after-parties, this high-end five day showcase fulfills its mission to put Whistler on the map as the must-experience wine and food party.

Cornucopia, the 16th annual celebration of food and wine, graces Whistler on November 7th – 11th, 2012.

Cornucopia Food and Wine Festival is the most important event on Whistler’s gourmand calendar. Featuring local and regional restaurants, chefs, producers, breweries, distilleries and wineries, Cornucopia emerges as the West Coast’s premier resort-based epicurean extravaganza. Seize opportunities to learn from industry professionals, be involved with demonstrations, sip, sample and savour some of the offerings of BC and beyond and bask in the breathtaking beauty that is Whistler and the Sea to Sky.

  1. Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some help from an established blog.

    Is it tough to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.

    I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where
    to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions?
    Thank you
