From opposite edges of Canada, two coastal kitchens come together for one intimate evening.

This November, we welcome Chef Timothy Charles, Executive Chef of Fogo Island Inn and an alumnus of the Wickaninnish Inn kitchen, back to Tofino for a special collaborative dinner with Executive Chef Clayton Fontaine of The Pointe Restaurant. Separated by a continent, yet less than one degree apart in latitude, Fogo Island Inn and the Wickaninnish Inn share a remarkable connection. Set on Canada's eastern and western edges, both Relais & Châteaux properties are deeply shaped by their coastal landscapes, with a shared commitment to local communities, sustainability, and cuisine rooted in a sense of place.

For one evening, Chef Clayton and Chef Tim will bring these two coasts to the table through a seven-course tasting menu, exploring the ingredients, traditions, and flavours of Newfoundland and Vancouver Island. Each course will be accompanied by thoughtfully selected wine pairings. With only 20 seats available, this intimate dinner offers a rare meeting of Canada's eastern and western shores, right here on Nature's Edge.

Dinner will take place in Howard’s Wine Cellar, an intimate space surrounded by the Inn’s extensive wine collection and grounded to the very bedrock of Vancouver Island.

Tickets are $458.00 inclusive of taxes and gratuity, per person. To maintain an intimate atmosphere, purchases are limited to four tickets per guest. We extend our invitation to all; staying at the Inn is not a prerequisite for attending this event.

Upon purchasing your ticket on our online store, our Special Events team will reach out to the provided contact email to confirm the event details. We look forward to celebrating with you!
