The Greater Victoria Visitors & Convention Bureau (Tourism Victoria) and the BC Restaurant & Foodservices Association (BCRFA), Victoria Branch, are once again teaming up to organize the 13th Annual Dine Around & Stay in Town Victoria event from February 19 to March 6, 2016.

Each year participating restaurants in Dine Around offer a three-course menu, with a minimum of two options per course, at a cost of either $20, $30, $40 or $50 per person, and participating accommodations offer room rates from $79, $99 or $129 per night. Both locals and visitors alike will delight in the wide range of culinary experiences and host of world-class accommodations to be had in the Greater Victoria area.
