Tofino: Tasting Trail

Forest, Ocean, Village, Eat

The Tour:

Venture off the beaten path on a meandering culinary expedition. It’s the perfect introduction for a first visit or a new perspective for a subsequent one. Immerse Yourself in Nature: Picture yourself strolling through ancient rainforests and on the beach, the scent of cedar and saltwater filling the air. The Tofino Tasting Trail isn’t just about food; it’s a sensory journey through the heart of Tofino’s wild landscapes.

Token System: Receive a tour kit with BC forest rescued wood tokens and a souvenir keychain —each one redeemable for tastings. Delivered to your Tofino accommodations prior to your tour.

Historic Insights: The “Historic Walking Tour of Tofino” book is a guide full of valuable information written by a Tofino author and beautifully illustrated. Yours to keep!

Surprise Encounters: Please note that not all of the vendors on tour are listed due to the surprise nature of this tour.
