Dinner by Design brings together internationally celebrated designers and local talent to create three-dimensional dining installations that awe, inspire and delight. These extraordinary dining environments — from the lavish and romantic to the outrageous and whimsical — set the stage for two days of fun and fascination.
Cocktail Art
November 16th 8:00 PM - Harbour Event Centre
Designers and guests mingle during this dazzling display of amazing tablescapes, while sampling gourmet treats paired with delicious craft cocktails, wine and beer. Special live entertainment, custom cocktail bars as imagined by participating designers and reverie.
Gala Dinner
November 17th 6:00 PM - Harbour Event Centre
Cocktails and table hopping are followed by an elegant seated VIP dinner designed and executed by Vancouver's very own Savoury Chef, for a limited number of guests with all drinks included. Each of the multiple crafted courses is perfectly paired by a beautiful wine and fine musical accompaniment. The creatively-plated food echoes the spectacular design of the tablescapes and will provide another way to explore sensory experience at Dinner by Design.
