Hosted at Za Ropa Ranch, Pemberton Meadows
September 19, 4 PM to 8 :30PM
SOLD OUT - $225 CAD per person + 18% gratuity + 5% GST at checkout
Under a wide Pemberton sky, with the first hint of fall in the air, we’re heading to Za Ropa Ranch for one last taste of summer. A long table, an open fire and a Spanish-inspired feast by Chef Javier Blanc, bringing together seasonal ingredients, local producers and good people. There’ll be stories, wine, local beer, food shaped by the season, and an evening spent somewhere you wouldn’t normally find yourself.

Experiences
-
Everyone. Our experiences take many forms — from dinners and workshops to private shopping, brunches and other gatherings. Come on your own, with a partner, with friends or as a group. Each experience is designed to bring interesting people together around something worth sharing. You don’t need to know anyone beforehand — just come as you are and enjoy the experience.
-
Our experiences typically last 4.5–5 hours, usually timed to take you from sunlight to sunset.
They begin with an hour-long welcome social featuring beverages and light bites, followed by a local, seasonal and sustainable multi-course menu designed by our Featured Chef. Complimentary paired alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages are generously provided by our beverage Partners.
When you arrive, you’ll check in with our host using your name on the guest list. Once everyone has arrived, your hosts will welcome the group and, depending on the location, may invite you to explore the property with a guided tour.
Following the welcome social, we’ll invite everyone to take their seat at the table. Dinner is served family-style, with dishes placed at the centre of the table for everyone to share.
It’s about more than the food, it’s about celebrating the land, the people who produce it, and the simple act of breaking bread together.
-
Sitting next to new friends is part of the experience. Everyone takes their seat at the long table at once, so we do not have assigned seating.
If you’re a party of five or more, we’re happy to do our best to seat you together with advance notice. If you’ve purchased tickets under separate reservations but are part of the same group, please let us know the name on each reservation so we can group you together.
-
Part of the fun is the element of surprise. Our multi-course menu is kept secret until you arrive, but in some cases, you may be able to select your main protein when purchasing your ticket, or choose a vegetarian option. We’ll clearly indicate any available choices in the individual experience description.
-
Due to the family-style nature of our meals, we’re able to accommodate vegetarian diets for some experiences, but we cannot guarantee that every experience will be able to accommodate all dietary restrictions or food allergies.
Each experience features a different Featured Chef and culinary point of view. We encourage guests to review the chef and their culinary style on the individual event page before purchasing, particularly if you have dietary considerations.
If you have a dietary restriction or food allergy, please let us know before purchasing your ticket at info@thebreakhaus.com and we’ll confirm whether your needs can be accommodated for that specific experience.
-
Our locations are often rustic, and accessibility may be limited. If you have specific accessibility requirements, please email us at info@thebreakhaus.com before purchasing your ticket. We’ll be happy to discuss your needs and do our best to accommodate you.
-
Dress codes may vary depending on the location and time of year, so we’ll include specific guidance in each individual experience description.
As many of our gatherings take place outdoors and in rustic settings, we recommend dressing comfortably and coming prepared for the elements. Layers and comfortable footwear are always a good idea.
-
We understand that things happen, but we encourage you to arrive on time so you don’t miss any part of the experience.
The welcome social gives everyone time to arrive, connect and settle in before we move to the table together. Once the experience is underway, we may not be able to accommodate late arrivals, particularly if a property tour or other scheduled activity is taking place.
If you’ve booked event transportation with us and are running late, please contact us as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to help you get to the location, but we cannot guarantee that transportation will be able to wait or return for late guests.
If you’re making your own way to the event and know you’ll be late, please contact us so we can advise you on the best way to join the group without disrupting the experience.
