Sure, you can pack yourself a picnic and grab a bottle of wine, but why go to all the trouble when you can pick up a gourmet picnic and some sought-after bubbles from some of BC’s best restaurants? The best part is that this delectable experience supports women in hospitality through Les Dames d’Escoffier and Food Banks BC!
Picnic and Bubbles takes place on Sunday, August 21, and is a collaboration between restaurants across the province and Les Dames d’Escoffier’s BC Chapter. The picnic for two includes a main dish created by your chosen restaurant, two side dishes, dessert and some bubbles to wash it all down. Tickets are $150 for the picnic for two and must be purchased in advance.
Simply choose which restaurant you want to order from and arrive at your scheduled pick-up time between 3 and 5 p.m. on August 21. Tickets and menus are available at Les Dames d’Escoffier Picnic and Bubbles. Note: these are no ordinary picnics! Check out the following menus:
