Dine Out Vancouver At Provence Marinaside And It’s Delicious

Did you know that Tourism Vancouver invented Dine Out Vancouver to get diners out between New Year’s Eve, and Valentine’s Day – a time period that’s typically a little slow in the hospitality industry? This year there are over 200 Vancouver restaurants participating, and Provence Marinaside’s Chef Jean-Francis has been a supporter of DOVF from the early days.

Don’t forget the wine pairings to really complete your dining experience! Wine Director Joshua Carlson has created an optional wine pairing matching each dish with a wine. Joshua has put together some great and somewhat difficult to find wines including Montagu Cellars 2018 Rosé with the Herbes de Provence Crusted Goat Cheese. Montagu Cellars is a bespoke winery that is the brainchild of former restaurateur and 2005 sommelier of the year Tom Doughty. With a limited production and distribution, this may be one of your only chances to try this outstanding wine. With the wine pairing priced at $25 ($15 for a petit version) you don’t want to miss out! More on Provence here.
