Taste of Life catering
is a new business owned and operated by
two local women. Samantha and Darby are
born and raised here on the peninsula
and are graduates of Parkland Secondary
School. Their interest in catering began
in high school where they both excelled
in the foods program.
Following graduation,
Samantha moved to one of Canada’s
premier resort destinations, Whistler,
BC. Working in a fine dining restaurant
further inspired her culinary interests
and so she enrolled in the Northwest
Culinary Academy of Vancouver. After
graduation, Samantha became a personal
chef aboard a private yacht where her
talents for creating and offering a
unique catering experience blossomed.
Darby on the other hand
broadened her knowledge of food and wine
while traveling. On her return she
enrolled in the International Sommelier
Guild at the Hotel Grand Pacific for
further develop her skills in all
aspects of service, menu creation and
wine pairing. Darby sets the bar high
and applies her skills and her attention
to detail into managing a successful
catering service.
Samantha and Darby decided to
collaborate their experiences and joined
Small Business Victoria where they
regularly attended courses, "the
Mentorship Program has been an amazing
contribution to our business!" The women
are also proud members of the Saanich
Peninsula chamber of Commerce and they
know through experience the value of
networking in the community that they do
business in. Specializing in dinner
parties, intimate gatherings, community
events and weddings, Taste of Life
Catering strives to use local
ingredients and wine whenever possible
and they work closely with their Clients
to create a lasting memorable
experience.
