In addition to the almost 300 individual restaurants offering exclusive menus as part of the 17th annual Dine Out Vancouver Festival (Jan. 20-Feb. 5), there are numerous special events vying to sate the city’s appetites.
Among them is Art, Eat and Sip, a gastronomic tour around Granville Island that also includes stops at selected art studios and retailers. The self-guided walk takes participants to various Island restaurants, plus beer and spirit producers, including Dockside Restaurant and its namesake Brewing Company, Granville Island Brewing, Liberty Wine Merchants and Liberty Distillery, Artisan Sake Maker, and more. Art destinations include New Leaf Creative Solutions, Studio 13 Fine Art, and Barbara Arnold, among others.
The event takes place Wednesday, Jan. 25, beginning at 6pm; tickets are $55 plus service charges from TicketsTonight.ca.
