Friday, June 4th, 2010 – Sunday, June 6th, 2010

An eclectic community makes for a delicious combination of people and flavours on this lauded June week-end, with a series of events designed to tickle all palates.

The Tofino Food and Wine Festival also hosts a Silent Auction Fundraiser at the main event, specifically for the Tofino Community Children’s Centre, an invaluable service for local families providing much needed child care and healthy structure for our children. The centre, operated under the umbrella of Tofino Parks & Recreation provides an enriched program for children attending the centre.

The mission of the Tofino Food and Wine Festival is to promote BC Culinary Tourism and Sustainable Food Sources while enjoying the company of friends and family of the culinary community. Culinary tourism is an economic driver that helps showcase local restaurants as dining destinations and generates demand for locally grown/raised/caught or processed food and beverage products.

The festival also promotes education and professionalism in the hospitality industry, promoting culinary and sommelier programs as well as Slow Food, a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported organization dedicated to recognizing the importance of pleasure connected to food in conjunction with agricultural biodiversity.

We hope that the Tofino Food and Wine Festival will encourage foodies from all over to develop an interested and caring attitude towards eating locally with increased awareness on sustainable food sources.
