Words to the wise

• Buy early! Many events will sell out early.
• All ticket prices include wine, food (if it is a food event), gratuities, GST and services charges. GST R119251403.
• The festival program is subject to change without notice.
• The Playhouse Theatre Company does not accept liability for tickets lost in the mail or misplaced after they are issued. No refunds, exchanges, or replacement tickets will be issued.
• All events begin promptly. To avoid disappointment and in consideration of others please arrive on time. Seating for latecomers at formal sit-down tastings is not guaranteed and money will not be refunded.

Trade Days Conference:

• Trade Days Conference events are restricted to those who work in the wine or wine-and-food industry.
• Industry members will be required to provide an occupational title and company name for each Trade Tasting ticket at the time of ticket sale. This information is used to produce trade nametags.
• A trade nametag and a ticket are required for access to the Tasting Room during the afternoon trade sessions.

More Small Print:

• We do our best to make everything perfect, but event details are subject to change without notice. And without refund.
• Please refrain from stinky stuff like perfume, cologne, aftershave and hairspray. The noses, palates and wines in the room will thank you.
• Dress code: We suggest smart business or dress casual attire, and enthusiastically recommend black. (Red wine never looks good on white.) To go the distance in the Tasting Room, wear really comfortable shoes.
• Please taste responsibly. We serve tasting pours. Your job is to not swallow every ounce that is poured. Do master the fine art of spitting and/or dumping in the buckets provided at each station. If you don’t like to spit, feel free to sip and savor then pour out the rest of your glass. .
• Make a plan. Stay overnight at one of our partner hotels. Take a taxi. Take transit (BC Liquor Stores offers you a free ticket). Assign a designated driver. Walk. Just don’t drink and drive.  We want you to get home safely. 
• You must be at least 19 years old and might have to prove it.
