Gastronomic Weekend Kayaking Through Stunning Gulf Islands

on

Spring has sprung on the coast, which means that Edible BC’s Gourmet Kayaking weekends are just around the corner.

Join Edible BC and Pacific Northwest Expeditions, for a weekend gastronomic getaway paddling through the stunning Gulf Islands.  Fine wines and gourmet food are featured, alongside river otters, bald eagles, and harbor seals.  After full days on the water, and full tummies, enjoy camping under the stars on a beautiful isolated beach.

Your chef and kayak guides will produce locally-sourced gourmet meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Previous menus have included specialties such as pasture raised Cowichan Bay duck breast and confit leg with fingerling potatoes, braised local greens and pinot noir reduction. All dinners are paired with local BC wines.

The weekend trip departs from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island on Friday morning at 8am and returns Sunday afternoon.  View the itinerary & book your spaces on our website here.
