Winemaker's Dinner at Long Beach Lodge Resort

Attention foodies and lovers of wine! It’s our absolute honour to host an event that pairs one of Vancouver Island’s most prolific wineries with The Great Room’s signature, westcoast-inspired cuisine.

 


 

Unsworth Vineyards is located on the east (read: sunnier) side of the Island in the Cowichan Valley. It’s an area known as “Canada’s Provence”, with growing conditions similar to the fertile, rolling hills of The Mediterranean region. So when their delicious wines are expertly paired with a six-course meal curated by our executive Chef Shaun Snelling, you can expect a magical fusion of food and drink that takes notes from the island’s many microclimates.

"Fabulous stay"
2024-09-29
Fabulous location, excellent welcome from all the staff. Food was amazing. The best of our vacation so far.
"Surf trip with the family"
2024-10-13
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The rain forest cottages fit our family of 5 perfectly for the week and were great to spend some time in no matter what the weather. Having the hot tub was a nice plus after surfing. The staff was very helpful and happy to work around our dog (which was so nice we could bring him!) for cleaning etc. We would just make sure to take him out for a few hours so they could clean as we didn’t bring a kennel. The restaurant was great as usual. We had a wonderful dinner there. It was our anniversary and although they didn’t do what they had the year before (no comp drinks or desert which was different as we had travelled the year before here and it was lovely to be treated so well), the quality of the food was just as good and the view is hard to beat.
"One of the best “experience” hotels we’ve stayed in"
2024-10-29
We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a 14 day road-trip from Ireland and all I can say is that it was absolutely amazing. The staff were all so welcoming, friendly and attentive. We stayed in room 313 which was on the top floor overlooking the beach with a balcony. Truth be told, the hotel was so good we didn’t venture far over the 3 days, instead opting to just “relax” at the hotel walking the beach or sitting outside at the gas fires taking in the ambience and the surfers catching the waves. The food and service in the restaurant was amazing, I would even go so far to say it was the best food we’ve had in a long time at a hotel! If having food at the hotel, make sure you book a table at the restaurant before 6pm and maybe even arrive a little early. They will not reserve the window seats, but to get the best view of the sunset over the pacific - trust me, it’s where you want to be sitting. Cocktails were also very good. If getting a snack during the day you can get it at the Surf Club which is a few steps from the main building. After dinner we just retired to the bedroom with the gas fires going, patio doors open and enjoying a bottle of wine while listening to the waves crash on the beach. We didn’t do breakfast at the hotel any of the mornings as we wanted something “light” opting instead for the delights from the cafe & bakery Tofitian just a few minutes up the road. As an “experience”, it was hands down one of the best hotels I’ve visited in Canada/US. The team should be very proud.
