Changes for 2021<\/h3>\n

Unlike previous years, there will not be a Gala event, but the dates have been extended to run for 24 days from January 14 through February 7.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, with the pandemic, Destination Greater Victoria<\/a> and the BC Restaurant are Foodservices Association are also working closely with restaurants to ensure the proper protocols are in place and foodservice aligns with the province’s safety guidelines. Part of this will mean limited capacity at many of the restaurants, so be sure to get your reservations in!<\/span><\/p>\n

A number of restaurants and pubs have also designed menus that will survive the rigours of delivery, which lets diners who are not comfortable dining out to enjoy the special offerings in the comfort of their own homes.<\/p>\n

Now, more than ever, local BC businesses need your support. Let\u2019s each do our part by staying local, and dining, shopping, and visiting attractions nearby this winter. If you don\u2019t live in Greater Victoria, however, please follow the province\u2019s COVID-19 recommendations — stay close to home and support local restaurants and craft breweries in your own community.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Contest: Dine, Scan, & Win<\/h3>\n

This year there will be a great contest through Destination Greater Victoria called Dine, Scan, & Win. Participating restaurants have been given a QR code for their Dine Around menus and customers can scan it when dining during the event for entry to win a grand prize of $500 in Dine Around gift cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

BC Breweries Offering Set Menus<\/h3>\n

As mentioned, many of the participating restaurants will have beverage pairing options that include BC Craft Beer (many from the <\/span>Victoria Ale Trail<\/a>), but a couple of Victoria\u2019s craft breweries themselves will also be pulling out all the culinary stops. As a proud sponsor of Dine Around and Stay in Town, the BC Ale Trail is excited to highlight breweries that are participating.<\/p>\n
