WHISTLER LOCALS WHO LOVE GREAT FOOD & WINE

Whistler Tastings Tours was founded back in 2008, by two long-time friends and culinary enthusiasts. They had extensive experience traveling the world, but always arrived in new places and never knew where to dine. So they thought: “Wouldn’t it be great to have a local guide take visitors around to all the best restaurants in one night?!” It was at this very moment that the idea of Whistler Tasting Tours was born.

Knowing Whistler had an abundance of fantastic restaurants, it was the perfect place to develop a program that allowed people to really explore the village dining scene. Having now hosted 100,000+ guests on our tours, we strive to provide unique dining experiences and outstanding service that consistently exceed client expectations.

Taste Whistler VIP Style

Whistler Village is host to a wide range of great restaurants that can please almost any palate and budget. These include everything from award winning fine dining establishments that feature some of the nation’s top chefs to some of the best little hidden spots off the beaten tourist path. 

Let Us Take Care of Everything

But, like when visiting any new & unfamiliar destination, it is difficult to know which Restaurants are the real gems, have everyone in your group agree where to go, and often in Whistler it can be impossible to get a reservation (especially on busy weekends and holidays).   Our dining tours let you explore many different amazing restaurants in one fun afternoon/evening, so you can find your favorite restaurants through first-hand experience. 

Discover Whistler's History and Secrets from a Seasoned Local

All of our guides are long-term Whistler locals, who love sharing the colourful and storied history of the Village, and let you in on secrets of the Resort only seasoned locals would know.  If your party wants to visit Whistler's nightlife after the tour, just ask your guide and he/she may be able to get you on the list of the best nightclub for that night.

Make Lifelong Friends from Whistler and around the Globe

Another bonus of the tasting tour is our guests often have the chance to make friends with other travelers from around the world, meet Whistler locals, and meet the owners and chefs at many of the restaurants in Whistler that we visit. There’s truly no better way to get acquainted with Whistler and immediately feel like a longtime local.

Everyone on our Whistler dinner and lunch tours receives a helpful restaurant guide booklet that lists all the venues we visit with their phone numbers as well as a map of all the locations. The booklet also lists many of the wines that we serve and a short description about the Okanagan Valley, which is British Columbia’s main wine growing region.  The next time you want to go out for lunch or dinner to one of the many restaurants in Whistler or purchase that bottle of wine you enjoyed on tour just consult the booklet to spark your memory.

Custom Corporate and Private Group Tours 

We also offer custom corporate and private lunch and dinner group tours (including, birthdays, anniversaries, large family vacations, wedding and stag/stagette paries) from 2 - 200 guests.  It's a wonderful way to get everyone mingling and networking, as the groups walk between each location and sit with new people at each restaurant, making introductions less intimidating and more relaxed.
