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

Once you purchase your ticket, simply visit the participating businesses during the event and show your Taste of Cochrane ticket to receive your sample. Businesses may participate on Saturday, Sunday, or both days, so the participating locations will vary by day.
