The Epicurean Presented by Peters Wealth Management & Insurance Solutions

The Epicurean returns—once upon a ski holiday there was a time when skiing was only a part of the pleasure. When afternoons were reserved for long lunches, evenings were for candlelight and conversations and the pace of the mountains set the rhythm of the day.

Tourism Sun Peaks and La Chaîne des Rotisseurs, proudly showcases the region’s hospitality industry while supporting the professional development of emerging Chefs and Sommeliers as they prepare for prestigious international culinary and sommelier competitions.
