Cornucopia 2016: Guide for Arts & Culture Fans
Posted by: Pip Campbell
Fall is the season for arts and culture in Whistler, and Cornucopia presented by BlueShore Financial (Nov 10 – 20, 2016) has plenty to offer those wanting to unleash their creativity or pick up a little culture along the way.
Food and drink is for consuming, yes, but every meal is also an opportunity for adventure. Why simply have dinner when you could travel the world with an international chef as your guide? Why sit in a pub when you could be painting a masterpiece, brush in one hand and glass of delicious red wine in the other? Why not pair a beverage with quick-witted comedy or funky beats?
We’ve gone through the Cornucopia 2016 schedule and uncovered a few gems for those who seek more from every meal. Sit back and let us guide you through Cornucopia’s curiously creative side.
