If you’re looking for a fall getaway – let this be your sign! Whistler, British Columbia is about to host its much-anticipated annual food & drink event: Cornucopia runs November 6–16, 2025.
Cornucopia celebrates its 29th year and the program itself has expanded to over 100 events across 11 days. Some new events this year include a cocktail competition built into a Silent Disco, a Junior Chef class for teens, and a Night Market spotlighting regional and Indigenous cuisine.
Some of the Signature Tasting Events include: The House Party: West Coast, Cellar Door and of course CRUSH Grand Tasting, Cornucopia’s flagship event.
There are over 40 drink seminars that are not just limited to wine -ask questions, learn more about spirits, beer and wine and explore beyond. Returning is the Culinary Stage Series that include live cooking demos, chef Q&As and multi-course food and drink pairings.
Additionally, if you’re a foodie like me, you’ll love the theme dinners and cocktail mashups at the local restaurants and bars.
Some tips for enjoying Cornucopia (and Whistler):
1- Book Early!
Many of the signature events sell out.
2 – Stay central
Whistler Village is always the best place to stay – close to events, dining, and much more.
3 – Come prepared for the weather
November in Whistler means mountain crisp air – in the day, it can be quite mild but can get cold during the evening!
4 – Pace yourself
There will be a lot of sampling going on !
5 – Explore beyond the festival
While the events are amazing, don’t forget to wander around the village, check out the local eats and shops and maybe even build in some outdoor time.
Cornucopia isn’t just another food festival, it’s a full on culinary journey into one of Canada’s most spectacular mountain resort settings. If you’re into discovering new wines, upgrading your cooking prowess or just enjoying food and drink experiences with friends, this will always be a good time.
