It’s Date Night Weekend In The Comox Valley

There is nothing like spending a great evening with your partner. If you are craving that chance to cash in the grandma babysitting card, looking for a great evening to share and spend some time holding hands in the hallway with your partner The Comox Valley 30-Day Local Food Challenge has a weekend of date night goodness all set up for you.

It’s a food festival, ya know. So, expect some local loveliness. Here’s what’s happening:

- Everything kicks off Thursday night as Atlas Cafe in downtown Courtenay hosts an evening of wine and pasta. Jeff and Susan from Beaufort Winery will be pouring a white wine flight and Sarah from Prontissima Pasta will be providing the delicious mains as Chef Jonathan creates a spectacular menu. Seating is open and no reservations are required for this Food Challenge event that runs from 5 to 7 p.m. Be sure to bring your Food Challenge passports (or get them there) for a 15% discount on the evening’s food.

- Saturday night brings the Comox Valley Beach Party at the The Westerly’s Flying Canoe West Coast Pub. Plan ahead for a great evening of seafood and other great eats, with drink specials throughout the night beginning at 7 p.m. Then hit the dance floor with the Luke Guthrie Band starting at 9 p.m. Tickets are $25 and you can pick them up at The Westerly.

Now, for the closer.

- Wrap up a great weekend with the first Local Libations cocktail competition at the Old House Restaurant in Courtenay. This great event brings together bartenders from around the area to see who can create the best cocktail from local ingredients. Taste test, sample delicious appetizers and enjoy the atmosphere of this friendly competition. 4 to 6 p.m. Tickets are $15 per person and available for purchase at the restaurant. Make sure you pick them up in advance.

So, bust out that sexy black dress, tuck the kids in and hit the town. It’s date night weekend in the Comox Valley.
