Dining in the Dark culinary adventure from Canadian Outback Adventures & Events

"The rafting trip was UNREAL! JUST PERFECT! It goes without saying that the conditions were amazing but your staff was just as amazing. Right from the get go-they put us in a great mood and made us feel secure. They kept the mood light, energetic and humorous! Our guide was soooo good! She kept us laughing on the bus and in the raft, and whenever a moment allowed she was telling us some incredible piece of history of our surroundings, nature, climate, wildlife. It never ended. She was so knowledgeable and a perfect fit for our group! It was great and I would love to (and have been) recommending it to anyone I speak to!"

Dining in the Dark - A Culinary Adventure

A dramatic environment helps make a group activity memorable. With the Dining in the Dark activity, your colleagues will experience an unforgettable culinary event. The concept of dining in the dark originated in Europe and since then has traveled the world from restaurants in Asia, Los Angeles and beyond.

As you will have guessed from the name, Canadian Outback’s Dining in the Dark is a program delivered in tandem with a meal. It takes a potentially boring group meal to a whole new level ....a dining adventure! It is the perfect option to distinguish an event where there will be a meal scheduled. This program can be delivered in a number of different environments and can accommodate any type of diet. We can deliver this program at ANY meal, but we do suggest that you make interesting menu choices in order to create the maximum impact.

During this pitch black (and we mean black… no lights of any kind are allowed in the dining area) culinary adventure you’ll discover a feast for your senses. With your dominant sense on hold, your remaining senses heighten as you move through each course, allowing you to experience smells, tastes and sounds like never before. Participants will have the opportunity to interact with each other and share what they are experiencing as they try something that is truly unique.

So if you’re a little adventurous and willing to step out of the ordinary to experience the extraordinary, then Canadian Outback’s Dining in the Dark is for you.
