   Whistler Blackcomb Resort  

Whistler Restaurant History

A focal point of all our dining tours is providing local knowledge about Whistler restaurants, the village history and BC's Okanagan wine region.

The village use to be named Alta Lake and the mountain was London Mountain, named after London, England due to the similar climate.  The mountain name was changed to "Whistler" in the 1960's when it opened as a winter resort, to honor the whistling hoary marmots that live in the alpine region around Whistler.  Blackcomb mountain gets it's name as the peak ridge outline resembles a black rooster comb. 

The main village, where most restaurants in Whistler are now located, in fact use to be the site of the dump when the community was based in Creekside.  The original vision for Whistler was to host the Olympics and it took 5 bids before they won the 2010 winter games.


Whistler Restaurant Wines

All the wines that we serve on our dining tours are from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. The valley is located about a 5 hour drive inland from Vancouver.  Protected on either side by large mountain ranges, with a large lake running North South, the dry and tempered climate is ideal for growing grapes.

Canada is actually now the largest producer of icewine in the world.  This sweet dessert wine that is made from grapes that are left to freeze on the vines.  To classify as an icewine, the grapes cannot be harvested until the air temperature holds below negative 8 degrees Celcius for a few day.  It is no wonder it is such an expensive product at Whistler restaurants, as only a small percentage of the grapes survive that late into the season.

So come try some fantastic BC wines on one of our 4 fantastic tours featuring different restaurants in Whistler or build a custom tour for your private group.
