      The annual Tofino Food and Wine Festival returns to Vancouver Island for its 12th year next month. Running June 6 to 8, the Tofino, B.C.-based festival celebrates local food and wine.

      Main event Grazing in Gardens—taking place in the Tofino Botanical Gardens on Saturday, June 7, from 1 to 4 p.m.—will include canapés by local chefs, B.C. wines and island microbrews, and live music featuring Dinah D’s Contraband Swingclub and DJ Kevin West, as well as newcomers One Bright Morning and Michael Horne. 

      Tickets for Grazing in the Gardens are priced at $90, with funds raised supporting the Tofino Botanical Gardens Foundation. In addition, a silent auction will be held to support stage two of the Wickaninnish Elementary School Garden Project.

      Other featured festival events include the Winemaker’s Dinner with Sage Hills Vineyard, a cocktail show at Schooner Restaurant, foraging with renowned chef, author, and mycologist Bill Jones, and the Tofino Barista Challenge.
