Exploring The World One Sip At A Time

Don’t miss the 2024 Vancouver Int’l Wine Festival


…And don’t miss this delicious wine and food pairing event.

If you love food AND wine, this is one of the best-tasting events I’ve been to at the Vancouver International Wine Festival. Tickets are still available, but hurry, this event does SELL OUT!

The PICA Kitchen Party: https://vanwinefest.ca/event/pica-kitchen-party-2024/

The event takes place at PICA – Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts, just at the entrance to Granville Island. With multiple kitchens – it’s the perfect place to savour dishes by local Chefs paired with wine from around the world. The event is small enough that you have a chance to chat with each winery and the Chefs, and even meet new wine-loving friends along the way.

Sip, swirl, spit (or not) – a great opportunity to try new wines

I had the pleasure of attending this event in 2023, and it did not disappoint! I highly recommend you book your tickets ASAP.

Here are some delicious photos from last year’s event…
