Refined West Coast Cuisine Rooted in season & Place

Spring Equinox:

In W̱SÁNEĆ, this time of year is known as WEXES – MOON OF THE FROG. This moon marks the Sacred Season of Plenty. As the Keeper of the Sacred Seasons, the SXEÁNEW̱ (frog) signals the arrival of spring, waking from its winter sleep and announcing the Earth’s warming.

The Arbutus Room is an adults-only (16+) dining experience.*

*The Arbutus Room will be closed Monday’s & Tuesday’s for Happy Hour & Dinner service. We would be delighted to see you in The Lodge Kitchen & Bar!

WEXES: A Song of Simplicity, by Kevin Paul, W̱SÁNEĆ

Here in W̱SÁNEĆ, days were measured in light.

The sun rose and it was time to wake and get busy.

The sun set and it was time to rest.

When days grew short, it was time to turn inward.

When the days grew longer and the frogs began to sing again,

it was time return from the winter’s introspection

and go back out into the crisp, bright world.

A curated flight celebrating British Columbia’s terroir

Three wines, each expressing a distinct sense of place, crafted with a shared respect for land and season.

A Coravin is a special wine tool that allows us pour wine from a bottle without removing the cork. This means we can serve you a smaller glass of wine without opening the whole bottle, keeping the rest fresh for much longer.

It’s perfect for enjoying premium wines by the glass without committing to the whole bottle.

Here is our rotating list of special wines we’re currently offering by the glass.
