ABOUT US
Our award-winning, locally-led experiences offer more than just great food—they’re a journey into the heart of BC’s culinary scene.

Founded by Lise, a passionate BC resident of nearly 30 years, our tours combine:

  • Unique, immersive food experiences

  • Support for local businesses

  • Cultural insights and community connections

  • Accessibility and inclusivity for all guests

Born during the 2020 pandemic, we set out to support small businesses, encourage local exploration, and celebrate culinary entrepreneurship. Today, we continue that mission, creating unforgettable experiences that bring people together through food.

VISION: To cultivate vibrant communities through immersive culinary experiences that celebrate local flavours and foster meaningful connections.

MISSION: To curate exceptional culinary adventures that highlight the diversity and richness of local food scenes, support small businesses, and create lasting memories for our guests.

OUR IMPACT
We focus on sustainability, community support, and inclusivity. With 80% of tours walking-based and driving tours in hyper-local areas, we minimize emissions. Founded by Lise during the pandemic, our women-owned business offers vegan, gluten-free, alcohol-free, and allergy-friendly options while prioritizing accessibility. We collaborate with Indigenous chefs, support over 60 BC-based producers, and connect small businesses. Operating tours in off-peak seasons helps reduce overtourism in urban centers like Vancouver. Our unique, culturally insightful experiences—such as chef-hosted tastings—foster connections between guests and local businesses. We also educate customers on the importance of choosing local first to create lasting social and economic impact.
