Episodes
Episode 24: Cocktails, Wine and Truffles Galore
The days are getting shorter and a little wetter, which means there’s more time at night to eat, drink and indulge in lush wines, heady cocktails, and all the truffles of the season. Dining out safely can still be delicious and delightful, and some restaurants are going that extra step to create some special experiences.
Episode 23: Whistler Cornucopia
The annual Whistler Cornucopia Food & Drink Festival is usually a lavish, extravagant and crowded two weeks of indulgence and learning. This year, the event is still happening, but in a safer, more socially-distanced way.
Episode 22: Plant-Based Dining

Episode 21: Thanksgiving
No need to worry about feeding the thousands, but with families still gathering to carve the turkey–or the ham–where can we go to dine out, take away, and celebrate with our six? Hear about lots of tasty options, from meat-centric to plant-based, gluten-free and more.

Episode 17: Bar Gobo Opens and Hester Creek’s Terrafina Relaunches
Opening during a pandemic may not seem like great timing, but for Bar Gobo, a new local wine bar, it’s spelling good fortune. And, in the South Okanagan, Hester Creek Winery has relaunched its restaurant, Terrafina, and adapted to the new normal.
