Taste of Cochrane 2026

Description

Taste of Cochrane is back — and this year, we're making it a full weekend! 🤩

Based on feedback from our guests, we've expanded the event to two days, giving you more time to explore Cochrane's local food and drink scene without feeling rushed - or TOO full! Choose one day or make a weekend of it! Your ticket gives you access to a self-guided tasting tour throughout Cochrane, where you'll stop at participating businesses to enjoy a complimentary sample of something special.

 

How It Works
