EOVI Presents Valentines Day at the London Chef Cooking School

Warm up Valentine’s week with an unforgettable night of food, connection, and conversation. Join EO Vancouver Island on Wednesday, February 12 for a hands-on cooking experience with Dan Hayes—The London Chef—hosted at the beautiful Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse in Saanichton.

This special edition is designed for members and spouses/partners. Think date night meets mastermind: you’ll cook, taste, and toast together while swapping stories with fellow entrepreneurs in a relaxed, candlelit setting. Dan will lead us through a seasonal, West Coast-inspired menu—showcasing technique, plating, and flavour balance—while Sea Cider pairs each course with curated pours that elevate the experience.

What to expect

• Interactive cooking stations led by Dan Hayes, with tips you’ll actually use at home
• Cider pairings that highlight local terroir and complement each course
• Guided conversation prompts to spark deeper connections among EO members and partners
• Take-home recipes so you can recreate the menu on your next date night

Why attend
