Getaways

What is the Art of the Weekend Getaway? It’s an early morning coffee on the balcony overlooking sprawling vineyards in a local B&B. It’s a community art walk where we felt like a local. It’s the first and last bite of a meal prepared with local ingredients in a wharf-side restaurant. It’s that perfect spot on the beach distilled in a painting at the local gallery.

This is the Art of the Getaway. It’s more than a tourist-trip, more than a vacation, it is the lasting impression of the community, forever embedded in our hearts. Whether you’re visiting BC or looking to plan your next weekend getaway, why not stay like a local and book in one of our unique accommodations from converted manors, to beachside resorts, experience the Art of the Getaway in SuperCultural BC.
