Dining with friends is way more fun than dining alone, right? Here at TASTE MAG we’re all about building a community inspired by the sharing of food. Welcome! I’m so glad you found us!
What better place to head up an initiative like this than in Victoria? We’re lucky enough to have our Kiss Media Group head office right downtown so no matter what I’m craving, there are so many dining options within a stone’s throw of my desk it isn’t funny. Expand my dining range to the Greater Victoria area and man, it boggles my mind just how much great food is out there waiting for me to explore!
More Than Just Print
While we’ve been a leader in print forever (well, decades) publishing TASTE MAG for readers wanting to know more about the local dining scene, in 2021 we launched our comprehensive menu blog with full menus right here at your fingertips. You know where to come (yes, right here) to find updated menus from bazillions of restaurants in the Greater Victoria area (k, maybe not bazillions, but lots!)
Even more exciting is the way we’re integrating our print offerings with social media and in-person events (are you a member of the Victoria Dinner Club yet? following us on Facebook? Instagram? You should be!). From short Instagram and Facebook posts to in-depth articles both here and in TASTE MAG, we are telling the story of food and foodies on southern Vancouver Island.
In Search of Menu Hunters
Love eating out? It’s easy to become a Menu Hunter - just tag your posts with #tastevictoria or tag us @tastemag IG and we’ll do the rest. We’ll keep track of our most active, passionate foodie friends who will be eligible to receive some great swag and special rewards (watch for an article all about the program right here on the blog, but meanwhile, follow us and start tagging!) Comment on our posts - ask questions - make recommendations - join the conversation!
TASTE Ambassadors Welcome the World
For many visitors to Victoria, the friendly, smiling faces of the hospitality industry make the traveller’s experience extra special. Our TASTE Ambassador Program rewards those who make the biggest impact with our visitors.
Go Ahead, Play Favourites
Sure, we have our opinions about the finest chocolate shop in town and the best place for prawns, but even more important is to hear what you think. We’re listening so we can pass that message along to the chefs and servers, bartenders and baristas, pancake-flippers and mâitre d’s who all help make our food and drink experiences so memorable. Our Pinnacle TASTE Awards 2022 Ceremony rely on your votes. Don’t be shy. Let us know your favourites in various categories and the winners will be honoured at the Pinnacle Awards Event in 2022.
There’s always room at the table for one more, so have a seat and let’s get to know each other!
