Inquire About Your EventVancouver Island Events Venue
The Truffle Farm is a Vancouver Island venue at 420 Lowrys Road in Parksville, BC, hosting weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations for up to 60 guests. As Canada’s first truffle farm, every event features truffle-infused farm-to-table dining, farm-grown florals, and curated experiences — from truffle hunting with Lagotto Romagnolo dogs to cooking classes and floral workshops. Whether you’re planning a Vancouver Island wedding, a corporate retreat, or a milestone celebration, The Truffle Farm is where your event becomes an experience.
A Place Unlike Anywhere Else
The Truffle Farm is not a banquet hall or a hotel ballroom. It’s a 10-acre working farm where Black Périgord truffles grow beneath hazelnut and oak trees, Lagotto Romagnolo dogs hunt truffles daily, and Virginia’s farm-grown flowers fill every arrangement.
The Truffle Barn — our air-conditioned event space — seats up to 60 guests at long farm tables for intimate, truffle-infused dining. A roll-up barn door opens to the outdoor terrace and farm grounds, where a tent can extend capacity beyond 60.
