Wow, do we have an amazing tasting event put together for you! We’ll be high above the city overlooking the water and mountains in the beautiful Diamond Ballroom. While you walk around and admire the view, you can sip the delightful wines of more than 45 spectacular BC wineries. Socialize with BCWAS members and guests as you savour charcuterie, delicious cheeses, roasted vegetables, bread, and of course, the wonderful crackers of our corporate member, Gone Crackers!

We hope that you’ll enjoy some old favourites and discover some new favourites, too!
And …. just because we’re so excited about all these great wines, we’re going to make it really easy for you to buy some. You can buy as few as 3 bottles from any winery – no need to order a whole case, although certainly you can if you find something you simply must have. 🙂
Sign up on the order sheets that will be on each table. Once you’ve paid the wineries, they’ll send one big order to us, and we’ll sort it out and get it to you. A great and easy way to get a start on your summer sipping!
To make it even better – tickets for this fabulous event are
only $49
and you can bring your friends along too for the same great price!
