The Arts Club and the Wines of British Columbia are partnering for the 12th annual ChefmeetsBCGrape fundraising series, the largest tasting of BC VQA wines in Vancouver! The evening features more than 90 BC wineries pouring over 350 award-winning wines, with a multitude of restaurants pairing sweet and savoury dishes to show off the best in our region.
Last year’s runner-up for “Best BC VQA Pairing”, Torafuku Modern Asian Eatery returns to ChefmeetsBCGrape to compete against this year’s participating restaurants Chicha Restaurant, Coast Coal Harbour Hotel, Fable Kitchen, Grouse Mountain Resort, Hart House Restaurant, Lift Bar and Grill, Miradoro Restaurant, Provence Marinaside, Vancouver Pinnacle Harbourfront Hotel, and Westin Bayshore.
Restaurant creations will be paired with notable wines from Desert Hills Estate Winery, Misconduct Wine Co., Moon Curser Vineyards, and Quails’ Gate Winery, among others.
“We are excited to be partnering again with the Arts Club for our largest BC VQA wine and culinary consumer event of the year,” says Laura Kittmer, Media Relations Manager of the BC Wine Institute. “This event is a great opportunity for consumers to taste new releases from top BC wineries and experience the versatility of 100 per cent BC wine through exciting pairings created and prepared by some of Vancouver’s favourite restaurants.”
Silent auction featuring premium BC wines, luxury goods, and entertainment and travel packages.
