This was an entertaining and pleasurable way to explore Whistler’s restaurants. It included Wine tasting, champagne sabring, and plenty of scrumptious things to eat, in several different restaurants, all enhanced by Luke, our very experienced guide.
Luke, met us in the lobby where we were staying, Crystal Lodge in the heart of Whistler Village for a rather early start.
Our first stop was Bearfoot Bistro, home to a 15,000-bottle wine cellar. On arrival, we watched as the host at the bistro demonstrated the art of opening a bottle of Champagne with a sabre and then he chose several of the ladies in our group to give it a try. He must have been a great teacher as every one of them removed the cork with the sabre on their first try.
After champagne and canapés in this stunning wine cellar, we headed over to Hy’s very stylish steakhouse.
From here we moved on to a very traditional Italian restaurant, Quattro, where we enjoyed delicious meat, seafood and vegetable dishes.
As we walked from each restaurant to the next, Luke told us many interesting stories and facts about Whistler, pointing out fascinating places along the way. He explained how this mountain resort earned its fine dining reputation.
From Quattro we arrived at Roger’s Chocolates for our sweet treats, where we indulged in ice wine truffles. This was my first time for this little bit of luxury and they were divine. Then we headed to Rocky Mountain for ice cream which was equally as good.
Our final stop was Fireside Lounge where we finished off with cheese and antipasto platters and of course another little drop of the local wine.
It was a rather early night so we had plenty of time to kick on but after a very big day most of us were happy to return to our lovely lodgings.
This was such a perfect evening, experiencing multiple restaurants show casing their specialties. The food, the wine, the guide, the restaurants, the company and Whistler all added up to a spectacular night
What a novel way to experience a place. My hunger was satisfied and I saw and learned so much about this stunning village, all in one great night.
That looks like a lot of fun!
It was too much fun, we had a blast. Thanks, Lyn

A beautiful city Lyn, but I’m not sure how much control I would have had in the chocolate place 😀
Thanks Mark, but you would not have been alone trying to control yourself with all those chocolates. There were many of us in “chocolate heaven”. Lyn
Thankyou Lyn for sharing your dining experience. What a memory !
The idea of walking to a different beautiful place for each course would have made a wonderful adventure too in Whistler. xx

Thanks Linda, it was too much fun and the food was delicious. Great night. Lyn
Yikes! Sounds amazing, but I would have been stuffed at the end of the evening! And probably drunk… But then you probably aren’t a lightweight like me. Ha!
It was amazing, the portions were not too big, it was over several hours and I am not much of a drinker, (enjoy it but), so it was perfect. Yes, you are right, I am not a lightweight like you, ha ha Thanks Lyn
What a great gastronomic night!
Yes is was Jane, plus much more. Thanks, Lyn
Lovely city 💞
Yeah it is. Thanks, Lyn
My pleasure
Can you recommend any of the wine varieties from there?
Sorry Allen. I cannot remember which ones I had. My wine of choice is always pinot Grigio which was excellent but of course there were many others coupled with the meals. I enjoyed most of the wines in Canada. Lyn
The reason I asked is that I have never had a Canadian wine, Cheers! 🍷
That was my first time, and they were good.
Great lyn
Thanks
🙂🙂 😋😋
Beautiful town. I haven’t been there in 14 years but this makes me want to go back so bad.
It sure is a beautiful town. I would also like to go back. Thanks, Lyn
