If you’re looking for an elevated way to welcome 2026 in Vancouver, this New Year’s Eve celebration might be one of the city’s most memorable dining events. Acquafarina is offering two special seatings on December 31, each featuring a curated six-course menu and, for the later seating, live music to carry the night into the countdown.
The experience blends seasonal flavours, Italian-inspired dishes, and a festive atmosphere designed for a true year-end celebration.
Two Seatings to Choose From
This year, guests can pick between two styles of celebration.
The Early Seating (5:00 to 7:00 PM) is ideal for those who already have midnight plans but still want a special dining experience to start their night. The Second Seating (from 8:00 PM) is the main event. It includes live entertainment from Dave Martone and the Carmelina Cuopo Duo, setting the tone for a lively, music-filled countdown.
Early-bird pricing runs until December 15, with tickets starting at $200 for the Early Seating and $250 for the Second Seating (before taxes and gratuity). Prices increase after the deadline.
Although online availability is limited within a 2.5-hour window of 9:00 a.m., the team can handle bookings manually for anyone needing assistance.
