Meet the Culinary Tourism Alliance - They’re a not-for-profit devoted to connecting taste-makers, sharing their stories & sparking delicious developments in food tourism. They work around the world, but Ontario has a special place in their hearts (and stomachs!)

This year we've partnered with Pulse Canada to conduct a culinary challenge to giveaway 4 tickets to Terroir 2017. Post a photo of your favourite or most creative dish featuring pulses (lentils, chickpeas, beans, peas) on social media and tag #PulseXTerroir by MAY 12th 2017. 

Did you know that Canada is a leading grower of Pulses? Wait what is a pulse? You can cook with pulses? Most people cook and eat pulses but don’t know what they are. TheUnited Nations actually declared 2016 the Year of Pulses because pulses are nutritional, cost effective and packed with proteins.

Contestants of the S.Pellegrino Young Chef Competition have the opportunity to gain valuable coaching from the industry’s best while networking and gaining national and international visibility.

Hockley Valley has been renowned for being one of the best culinary and relaxing vacation getaways here in Ontario.
