Our foodie tour of Victoria will make for a well-fed weekend.

stay
If
a weekend in Kyoto is out of the question, get your Zen moment at
Victorias lush Inn
at Laurel Point
. Chill out by the waterfall in the hand-tended
Japanese garden by the sea, watch the harbour action from the chaise
lounge in your sleek Arthur Erickson Wing room, and check out the
museum-quality art lining the hallways. Yes, that really is a Henry Hunt
sun mask in the lobby. Spring rates from $130, 680 Montreal St.,
Victoria, 800-663-7667, www.laurelpoint.com

eat
All those micro-produced island wines you havent
yet sampled are at the sleek, waterfront Aura
restaurant
. The menu leans local, from sea asparagus garnishes to
the Zanatta Damasco by the glass. Chef Brad Horens surf and turf is a
good reason to hop that ferry. Aura at the Inn at Laurel Point, 680

    At pre-eminent, I was skeptical less https://joyorganics.com/collections/cbd-topicals , but in the present circumstances I provision them in my nightstand. They’ve become voice of my evening wont—single gummy, a cup of tea, and I’m clever to go. I don’t perceive high or kinky, just stillness and cordial to twaddle down. The flavor’s absolutely exceptionally good too, which surprised me. No peculiar aftertaste like some others I’ve tried. If your leader runs a mile a pint-sized at night or you’re upstanding tough to cool after at liberty, these are for all advantage checking out.
