Dinner Through the Decades

The annual culinary cook-off is back once again! On September 6, 2019, six Fairmont Hotels, represented by their aspiring chefs, will showcase their culinary skills at the 15th annual Fairmont Apprentice Dinner.

August 28th, 2019

The competing properties include Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, Fairmont Pacific Rim, Fairmont Empress, Fairmont Vancouver Airport, Fairmont Waterfront, and Fairmont Chateau Whistler.

The theme this year is “A Dinner Through the Decades” where each hotel has been given a decade to recreate and renew a dish to give the guests a full dining experience. The dinner consists of five main courses, with three light refreshers in between. Each course is paired with music selections from a live DJ, bringing the arts, culture, music and culinary together for a night to remember.
