One of our favourite foodie events of the year is happening from January 22 to February 9 — the Parksville Qualicum Beach Taste Around invites locals and visitors to embark on a culinary adventure that showcases the best of our vibrant food and drink scene.
Coordinated by the BC Restaurant & Foodservices Association (BCRFA), this annual food festival is the perfect antidote to the winter blues — and an opportunity to rediscover why Parksville Qualicum Beach is a food lover’s paradise.
What is Taste Around?
Think of it as a celebration of creativity, community, and cuisine. Restaurants, wineries, breweries, coffee shops, and other food-centric establishments are stepping up to offer enticing unique menus, including two and three-course dining options at set prices ranging from $25 to $65. Chefs have fun creating these one-of-a-kind menus and adding imaginative pairings of drinks and bites, there’s something to suit every palate and budget.
This is a great time of year for Islanders to plan their getaway to Parksville Qualicum Beach. Beyond the culinary delights, explore endless beaches, enjoy an enchanting winter walk among ancient old growth forests, and check out this community’s many charming local shops, while taking in the one-of-a-kind menus crafted by local chefs. Whether it’s a day trip or a weekend getaway, Taste Around promises unforgettable flavours and experiences.
This is such a fun experience that will encourage you to embrace this quieter time of year in style. January and February can feel like the “slow season,” but Taste Around turns that notion on its head, giving chefs, mixologists, and baristas a chance to shine with inventive offerings designed to wow you and offer you something a little different. The festival’s inclusivity extends beyond traditional restaurants, so you might find yourself sipping on a curated coffee flight at your favourite café one day and savouring a farm-to-table feast at a local bistro the next.
For participating establishments, it’s an exciting opportunity to connect with new patrons and loyal customers alike. For foodies, it’s time to map out your must-visit spots and bring your appetite. This is your chance to taste the heart and soul of Parksville Qualicum Beach.
From sipping fine wines to sampling inventive dishes, every bite tells a story of this vibrant coastal community. Mark your calendar, bring your appetite, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Parksville Qualicum Beach.
