The Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival is widely regarded as the best consumer wine show on the continent, and the International Festival Tasting room is the heart of it. The Wine World is Here.
This year is a special occasion, as the Festival is moving to the new Vancouver Convention Centre, where the record 196 participating wineries will be pouring 761 different wines. Wineries are organized alphabetically and listed in the free Festival Program handed out at the door to help you keep track of the wines you like. The Tasting Room offers a unique opportunity to taste rare bottles and discover new treasures as you visit with renowned winery principals from around the globe.
At each booth you will find a winery principal, identified by his or her royal blue lanyard. This person is a senior member of the winery, intimately involved in the wine-producing process as a winemaker, proprietor or senior executive. Nowhere else in the world will you find a gathering of these talented men and women pouring wine and answering questions under one roof. Take the opportunity to ask questions and learn from the experts about your favourite wine.
The tasting room plays out over three consecutive nights. Thursday night’s capacity is guaranteed to be 30 percent lower than the other two evenings, attracting wine collectors and trade professionals who appreciate more room to interact with the winery principals. Friday is great for groups and the after-work crowd looking to kick off the weekend in style. Saturday night is perfect for couples and friends wanting to spend a night on the town. Groups of eight or more can save $9 each on Friday and Saturday nights.
Remember that this is a wine tasting, not a dinner event. We strongly recommend that you have a meal before setting out. However, you will find plenty of plain bread for cleansing the palate, and small food samples will be served throughout the room.
