CHEF & CHAUFFEUR's Farm to Fork Evening Dining Options

Extend your extraordinary day with a Fraser Valley Farm to Fork dinner at one of Vancouver's finest dining establishments. Each is different from the other and each represents an exquisite dining experience that builds on the day's culinary adventures, a perfect finish to your epicurean excursion.

The cost is an additional $80 per person and includes wine pairings. Applicable dinner taxes and gratuities and transportation to and from your dining destination are not included.

Option 1: Raincity Grill

Once back in the city after a relaxed drive, your limo will drop you in the West End at the fabled Raincity Grill overlooking English Bay. Chef de Cuisine Andrea Carlson fulfills the restaurant's mandate to serve only regionally sourced, sustainable organic food. The restaurant's acclaimed wine list follows suit.

If much of the menu seems familiar it's because Chef Carlson sources many of the foodstuffs from the 'food heroes' we visited today. Relax and enjoy the wine pairings the sommelier has chosen for each course.

Option 2: Quince Cooking Studio CHEF & CHAUFFEUR Dining Experience

For those who want to watch dinner being prepared - and perhaps participate, Quince is the ideal option. Once back in Vancouver, it's just a short cab ride to this spanking new, beautifully designed gourmet gallery.

Proprietor/chef/sommelier Andrea Jefferson describes Quince "as a translation of food from the natural world." And it's this glorious food, locally sourced and organic, that Jefferson will transform into tonight's dinner. "Respect for the ingredients, the process and the customer motivates us to produce dishes of the highest quality." Settle into the kitchen, glass of wine in hand and watch - keeners are welcome to participate - as Chef Jefferson prepares your evening meal.

What's on the menu? Because Quince responds to the seasons, using the best and purest, high quality, farm-based products available, the menu is ever-changing. You'll be familiar with many ingredients from the day's culinary travels. Some options on your personalized five-course menu might include cinnamon roasted Fraser Valley duck breast or quail, seared local tuna, sablefish, or leek risotto to name a few dishes from Jefferson's repertoire. Each course will be paired with a Fraser Valley wine.

When guests opt to participate in the prepping and cooking the meal, the evening becomes a remarkable and powerful team-building tool.

Option 3: Pair Bistro

One of Vancouver's most unique restaurants is a compact, intimate, and artful space on the city's West Side. Serving uniquely B.C. regional dishes complemented by a 100% British Columbia wine list, Pair Bistro is one of the city's 'secrets'.
