Tofino Food and Wine Festival is a weekend of food and wine events on the west coast. Its signature event, Grazing in the Gardens, is a showcase of local culinary talent and British Columbia wines, craft ciders and beers, and boutique distilleries, set in the beautiful Tofino Botanical Gardens. Grazing is a chance to mingle with Tofitians, meet local chefs, island purveyors, regional winemakers and more. Lush rainforest setting surroundings provides for a grassroots ambiance with pleasant surprises throughout the winding garden paths. It is truly a memorable event, and a wonderful way to experience the west coast.

Since 2003, Grazing in the Gardens has supported several non profit organizations and community initiatives, including Tofino Botanical Gardens Foundation, Community Children’s Centre, Tofino Community Food Initiative (Tofino’s Community Garden, Wickaninnish Community School Garden Project), Lighthouse Trail and Multi Use Path.

In 2019, Grazing  continues to act as the main fundraiser for Tofino Botanical Gardens Foundation, with a Silent Auction benefitting the Wickaninnish Community School Garden Project – Stage 9.
