The Wine World is Here
If you attend only one of the festival’s events, make it an International Festival Tasting. The Tasting Room at the Vancouver Convention Centre is the heart of the festival, where all 147 participating wineries and their principals gather to pour their select wines. Discover exciting new wines, or return to your favourites, sipping from premium wine glasses. The room will also feature wine and food-related exhibitors, and Regional Tasting Stations featuring wines from California, New Zealand, Italy, and sparkling wines from around the world.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE TASTING ROOM
Discovery Italy
This is the year to learn more about storied wines of Italy, with 71 wineries from 13 different regions featured at the festival. The magical boot of Europe boasts hundreds of varieties, wine styles, interpretations, and breadth, many of which you’ll discover in the room.
Vine Stars
The stars of the global wine scene – winemakers, proprietors, senior execs – come to Vancouver every year to pour and discuss their wines with festivalgoers. That’s what makes this festival special. Each winery will be represented in the room by a principal, someone closely involved in the wine-production process, there to share their wines and knowledge. You’re quite likely to find that the person serving your wine has their name on the bottle. Identify the vine star by his or her royal blue lanyard. Chat them up!
