Just a five-hour drive from Victoria, Tofino is one of the best places places to visit to reconnect with nature and enjoy the West Coast food scene and culture.

Congratulations you made it and should be proud, even if your fellow liquor nerds wonder why anyone would subject themselves to a straight month of misery.
Dry January is over, leaving only the grim memories associated with it. The Friday nights where, instead of unwinding with a Cedar Sour to celebrate the week’s end, you made do with a Shirley Temple. Which only reminded you that a healthy splash of gin would turn that Shirley Temple into a pretty decent approximation of a ’70s-chain-restaurant Singapore Sling.
And then there were the daily happy hours that were anything but. When, instead of getting creative with Cardamom Margaritas and Black Walnut Old Fashioneds, fun-time consisted of club soda with a Driscoll’s strawberry plopped in for colour. Or a glass of hyper-local artisanal West Coast tap water with house-made ice cubes.
