1. a website devoted to finding the best that Vancouver Island has to offer. Have you checked out di(V.I.)ne’s article on the search for Victoria’s best mocha?
2. a source for all things epicurean, hedonistic, indulgent and pleasurable, invariably with a taste of west coast salt air. How did you find that brilliant, obscure restaurant? Ah, well, it was reviewed on di(V.I.)ne, wasn’t it?
di(V.I.)ne was launched in March 2007, setting out to find, sample and review the best that Vancouver Island has to offer. Whether that’s food, drink, music, photography, fashion, architecture … you get the point: If you can take it in – orally, visually or otherwise – we want to know about it. And when we do, we’ll let you know whether it’s worth your time.Because Island Time comes at a premium. Whether you’re here for one week or one lifetime, you’re here for the pace, for the flavour, for the natural splendor. You don’t want to waste any of that valuable time seeking out The Best. That’s why we’re here. To point you towards the gems and steer you clear of the duds. There are plenty of guidebooks out there, but most of them are self-serving drivel or driven by advertising dollars. Not us – money can’t buy you love and it sure can’t buy you a good review on di(V.I.)ne. If it’s crossed our paths or our palates, we promise to always give you the straight goods on how it is – good, bad, or get-me-the-hell-off-this-Island.Thanks for coming.
