The Vancouver International Wine Festival (VIWF) is back again this year with wines from all over the world. This year’s festival has 15 participating countries taking part in entertaining and educational events all over the city. Running from February 22 – March 2, the 46th VIWF is celebrating its legacy as one of the biggest and oldest wine events in the world.
International Festival Tastings are the heart of the festival where you can browse and sample from select wines from 120 wineries as well as themed regional tasting stations and wine bars—there are nearly 700 wines to sample in the room. You’ll also find wine-friendly food and beverage exhibitors offering tasting samples.
The Bacchanalia Gala Dinner + Auction is on February 22 at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. One of the most spectacular wine and food events in the city any time of year kicks off with a sparkling wine reception before a five-course meal and live music and dancing. Throughout the evening you can bid on live and silent auctions featuring rare wines, getaways and unique culinary experiences.
The Delta Air Lines Tasting Lounge is an exclusive space adjacent to the main Tasting Room, featuring festival bottles and light bites to take your tasting experience to new heights. Get your tickets for Friday evening, Saturday afternoon or evening.
Winery Dinners run throughout the festival and offer a delicious and informative exploration of wine and food in which the city’s top chefs create menus inspired by premium and exclusive wines from a specific winery or region, pairing each course with a wine.
If you love wine, and you know you do, don’t miss these exciting events at the Vancouver International Wine Festival, as well as wine seminars, wine minglers and special lunches.
