Swallow Tail Culinary Adventures

Hi ,

If you've never been, this charity dining pop-up is so much fun.

From​ ​Farms​ ​to​ ​Forks:​ ​A​ ​Harvest​ ​Kitchen​ ​Party
Event by Growing Chefs, a non-profit society that brings local chefs and kids together to cook and grow food.


For the eighth year in a row, we're bringing together some of the city's most prominent chefs and mixologists and the region's best growers and producers for a fun night of B.C. wine and beer pairings, cocktails, and tasting stations!

Join us on a culinary adventure as guests can wander from kitchen to kitchen and watch the chefs in action. Each chef will be paired with a local B.C. grower and producer to celebrate the best of the season. Throughout the night you'll get to try dishes from more than fifteen of the city's best chefs, with carefully selected wine pairings.

From Farms to Forks Tickets are $200​ or VIP Tickets $235

This is a false chanterelle!  NOT EDIBLE. Our guides like to teach you what you shouldn't eat first.  If you have burning questions about what mushrooms you should stay away from in the wild,  come out on one of our wild mushroom foraging tours to learn how to harvest safely.
Dets below...

Our Fall Wild Mushroom tours focus on how to identify wild mushrooms like porcini, chanterelle, honey, wild oysters and dozens more edibles that you will never find in the grocery store! Our ever-popular forays are 2-hour trips walking through BC’s forest to identify whatever we find with an expert wildcraft guide.  They book up fast!
Enjoy a chef-prepared wild light lunch with tips and tricks on how best to cook and preserve all the dozens of different wild edibles in the forests. (note: this is not a live cooking demo or a harvesting trip)
