Beyond the Listing: VIRANI’s Weekend Recommendations October 24th and 25th
At VIRANI REAL ESTATE ADVISORS, our appreciation for Vancouver extends beyond exceptional properties. From local art and seasonal experiences to hidden gems and weekend getaways, our team is always discovering new ways to enjoy the places we call home.
Welcome to Beyond the Listing, where we share our team’s recommendations for making the most of the weekend. Here’s what’s on our list this week.
1. Haunted Cellar Afternoon Tea
Location: 900 W Georgia Street, Vancouver
Afternoon tea gets a delightfully spooky makeover at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver’s Haunted Cellar Afternoon Tea, where gothic décor, flickering candlelight, and a touch of the supernatural set the scene. Indulge in handcrafted pastries, seasonal sweets, and savoury bites in an atmospheric setting that makes for a memorable fall outing.
2. Ferry Building Gallery
Location: 1414 Argyle Avenue, West Vancouver
The Ferry Building Gallery in West Vancouver’s Ambleside Landing is a charming cultural destination housed in a historic waterfront building, showcasing local artists through rotating exhibitions and community events. With artist talks and educational programs it’s a wonderful way to discover the North Shore’s creative side.
3. The Butchart Gardens
Location: 800 Benvenuto Avenue, Brentwood Bay
The Butchart Gardens transforms into an autumn spectacle each October, with 55 acres of vibrant foliage and seasonal displays featuring pumpkins, gourds, ornamental peppers, and kale. Family-owned for more than a century, this National Historic Site offers a beautiful way to experience the season on Vancouver Island.
4. Ollie & Co
Location: 302-595 Burrard Street, Vancouver
Bentall Centre’s small-group candle-making workshops let you explore a library of scents, create your own signature blend, and craft a candle to take home, all with step-by-step guidance and no experience required. With light snacks, beverages, and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s a fun way to try something different in the heart of Downtown Vancouver.
5. You Can See Everything
Location: 900 Burrard Street, Vancouver
You Can See Everything is already a box-office sensation, recording the most successful opening weekend for a documentary in more than 20 years. Nathan Fielder’s unconventional Elizabeth Holmes documentary has captivated audiences with its blend of true crime, psychological intrigue and unexpected twists.
From seasonal experiences in the city to cultural discoveries and escapes beyond the Lower Mainland, our team’s weekend recommendations are all about enjoying more of what makes this region special.
