Immerse yourself in Victoria's Slow Food movement for a few days and you'll soon be addicted to the fresh produce, adventurous charcuterie and exotic, mouth-watering dishes that abound. The Oak Bay Guest House and Victoria's Historic Inns have created a two-night Gourmet Getaway Package to help you uncover Victoria's vibrant food scene.
From affordable food trucks to special-occasion bistros; from produce stands and farm tours to wineries and cider works, Victoria has embraced the Slow Food movement with gusto. Vancouver Island's sub-Mediterranean climate is a boon to growers and restaurateurs who are among the world's leaders in organics. Tasting local, seasonal food in Victoria is easy: the key is knowing where to start. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all looked after for you in this mouth-watering package.
You'll start the day with breakfast at your Inn, specially prepared, fresh ingredients served with style and imagination. The perfect way to start the day.
For lunch, go forth on your own adventure. Don't worry, we'll provide you with insider tips on where to pick up the best fish tacone, the richest chocolate truffles or the most fabulous bread and chacuterie so you can have your own romantic picnic. What better way to work up an appetitie and explore the city's unique and varied history?
For dinner, Victoria's Historic Inns has partnered with 5 of Victoria's culinary masters, Bon Rouge, Cafe Brio, Camille's, Paprika and Pescatores to give you a memorable epicurean escape that will satisfy all of your cravings. And then you'll take home a basket of culinary gifts to prolong the ecstasy.

- Two nights' accommodation at the Oak Bay Guest House.
- 2 scrumptious breakfasts for two.
- A bottle of fine VQA BC wine
- $100 Gift Certificate for Bon Rouge, Cafe Brio, Camilles, Paprika Bistro or Pescatores.
