Chefs Across The Water At Salt Spring Island’s Hastings House
Sprawled over lush green acreage on stunning Salt Spring Island waterfront, Hastings House Country House Hotel is one of the southern gulf islands’ most unique properties. Built more than seven decades ago, this 11th century Sussex-style home features guest rooms, spa facilities and endless gardens to lose one’s self in. With a neighbouring abundance of wine makers, farmers and food artisans, Hastings House is also becoming well known for its sumptuous dining options featuring locally-minded fare.

Hastings House is proud to once again present its Chefs Across the Water dining series, designed to bring exquisite culinary skills to this hidden island paradise. Some of BC’s most well-known and loved chefs have been invited to Hastings House to create a one-time dining menu that makes use of Salt Spring Island’s very best produce, seafood and local meats. BC wine pairings are also offered to compliment each course.
