At the Heart of Every Gathering is Good Food

Every meal is an invitation to slow down, savour and reconnect — with yourself, with others and with the land.

What is organic farm dining like at Santé?

Dining at Santé Wellness Retreat is built around a plant-forward, Mediterranean-style menu prepared by Chef Sydney and served communally at long farmhouse tables. Ingredients are organic and locally sourced from farms around Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley, supplemented with seafood from nearby rivers and meats from local producers. A three-acre heirloom farm is in development on the property itself, part of the retreat's return-to-land philosophy; until those crops are ready, the kitchen works directly with neighbouring growers.

Guests choose between three menu styles — A Bon Santé for nourishing simplicity, Santé Comfort for familiar favourites, and Santé Gourmet for an elevated plated experience — and every menu offers a full vegan option with dietary needs accommodated in advance. Meals are included on every wellness retreat and shaped to your schedule during corporate retreats, elopements and private buyouts. Cooking-focused guests can go deeper on the cooking retreat, working alongside the chef with seasonal ingredients.

Simplicity and seasonality

Our culinary philosophy

Our organic heirloom farm is just getting started, so we source ingredients from nearby farms until our crops are ready. We supplement our plant-forward menu with seafood caught in nearby rivers and meats from local farms.

Thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, our menus are designed to support your wellness journey while delighting your senses. Whether it is a crisp summer salad, a hearty autumn stew or an artfully plated dessert, every bite reflects our commitment to clean, wholesome and deeply satisfying food.

Meals enjoyed communally

Guests gather around our farmhouse tables to share vibrant, nutrient-rich dishes crafted by our talented chef, creating a dining experience that is as restorative as it is memorable. Meals are more than nourishment — they are an opportunity to slow down, share stories and forge meaningful connections.

A 3-acre farm in the making

We embrace a farm-to-table philosophy that celebrates the connection between food and the land. We are developing a 3-acre farm, growing our own food as it was originally designed. We want every dish to be as fresh, vibrant and nourishing as the mountain surroundings.
