Thrilled by the success of the series to date, The Culinary Tourism Alliance has unveiled the next locations for the 2022 Feast On the Farm events – a thoughtfully curated gastronomic experience continuing this September in partnership with RBC. The intimate (75ppl) ticketed events allow foodies from across Ontario the opportunity to indulge in culinary creations by some of the best chefs in the province – meeting the people creating change in Ontario’s food and drink space.

With 14+ years of experience organizing and hosting events such as the Culinary Tourism Summit, Terroir Symposium, and Feast On StockSeries, the Culinary Tourism Alliance has developed this event series to support tourism recovery efforts within its Great Taste of Ontario program.

Each event brings together an incredible roster of Feast On Certified chefs, plus local food and drink experts to curate an immersive experience celebrating locally sourced, ethically farmed ingredients, Ontario craft beers and ciders, and Sustainable Winegrowing Ontario Certified wines. Guests can engage in light-touch educational programming on the farm focused on regenerative and organic agriculture practices and are encouraged to “stay and play” in the region.

Every Feast On the Farm consumer day ticket supports recovery in the culinary tourism industry and includes a subsidy for industry professionals to attend the Feast On the Farm Industry Day the following day.
