You stop in at True Grain Bread, an Old World-inspired European bakery, for a pretzel or cookie, or at Udder Guys ice cream for their famous rum and raisin ice cream.
4:00 pm A Cowichan foodie foray isnāt complete without a stop at Westholme Tea Co. ā Canadaās only commercial tea farm. Here, join a tour of the farm followed by a tasting in the tea room.
