Local Culinary Vendors
The culinary philosophy at the Wickaninnish Inn pairs seasonality with sustainability and creativity with curiosity. We source seasonal, fresh, and innovative ingredients that highlight our surroundings wherever possible on every plate. This feat is accomplished through the close relationships we have with the many foragers, farmers, fishermen and makers across Vancouver Island. In addition to providing the Inn with decadent products, these partnerships also help to support our local economies and reduce our transportation impacts.
