Enjoy a spectacular evening of incredible wine, inventive food pairings, and unparalleled opportunities to enhance your wine cellar.

The evening kicks off with a prosecco reception at 6 p.m., and features eight additional outstanding wines paired with an exquisite five-course menu prepared by Executive Chef David Baarschers of the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. All of this is topped off with live music and dancing. And if that’s not enough, live and silent auctions throughout the evening feature extremely rare wines, epicurean getaways, Bard-related packages, and unique culinary experiences. A must for any serious wine collector!
