When planning a meeting or corporate retreat, timing is everything. October meetings in Victoria, BC, offer the perfect balance of beauty, affordability, and accessibility. This season is a hidden gem for event planners. From temperate weather to breathtaking fall scenery, hosting your team at Inn at Laurel Point in October comes with plenty of perks.
Easy Access to Victoria
Getting to Victoria in the fall is a breeze. With regular service from WestJet, Air Canada, and Porter Airlines, plus a quick ferry from Vancouver, your team will find travel simple and stress-free. Once here, Inn at Laurel Point offers a peaceful retreat setting that feels tucked away, yet is only steps from downtown Victoria.
Stunning Fall Views
Victoria in October is all about colour and calm. Brilliant fall foliage surrounds the harbour, while sunsets and sunrises put on a show of soft pinks, oranges, and golds. Our waterfront location means your meeting backdrop will be as inspiring as it is serene.
Weather That Works in Your Favour
Unlike many Canadian destinations, Victoria stays mild in October. Rainy days happen, but there’s still plenty of sunshine, and the weather is warm enough to enjoy outdoor activities. With fewer vacationers this time of year, your team can explore without the crowds.
Unique Team-Building Opportunities
Victoria is a hub for unforgettable team-building experiences. From kayaking and whale watching to exploring the Butchart Gardens or the BC Ale Trail, there’s no shortage of memorable outings. For something more restorative, try Havn’s Scandinavian-inspired spa or explore the city’s rich culinary scene.
Off-Season Perks and Value
October kicks off shoulder season, bringing lower rates, greater availability, and more flexibility for planners. Your preferred meeting dates are more likely to be open, and room rates at Inn at Laurel Point are especially attractive this time of year. It’s the perfect opportunity to host a memorable event while keeping costs in check.
Cozy Seasonal Touches
Fall also brings an added layer of comfort. Start the day with fresh coffee and pastries from Duo Café Bakery, then, after a productive day of meetings, unwind with drinks, happy hour, or dinner at Aura Waterfront Restaurant + Patio. It’s a seamless way to wrap up the day while enjoying the best of Victoria’s autumn charm.
A Perfect Retreat Setting
Inn at Laurel Point offers the best of both worlds—tranquil surroundings on the harbour’s edge and easy access to the heart of the city. October’s peaceful atmosphere creates space for focus, connection, and productivity, making your meeting not just another gathering, but a true retreat.
