S.Pellegrino® partners with emerging & renowed Canadian chefs in support the future of dining

S.Pellegrino^®, a proud partner of the culinary community, is pleased to launch the S.Pellegrino^® Chef Collective, a new initiative to rally together emerging and renowned chefs in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia in support of the future of dining. Over Canada Day Weekend, June 30 to July 4, a selection of restaurants will offer exclusive, curated tasting menus paired with complimentary 750ML bottles of S.Pellegrino^® sparkling water. All menu sales will go directly back to the participating restaurants, and in honour of this partnership, S.Pellegrino will donate up to $100,000 to the BC Hospitality Foundation, the Canadian Hospitality Foundation and Montreal Restaurant Workers Relief Fund to support the future of our culinary community. Join us in supporting the future of dining by ordering from menus of our chef collective!
