California vibes come alive during this fun evening on Granville Island that pays tribute to a variety of the Golden State’s most exciting wines. This walk-around and play-around food-and-wine event is an energy-filled evening of kicking back, having fun playing games, and catching up with friends. Nosh on some California faves like surfboard sushi, mini tacos, and sliders while listening to cool tunes—it’s the party of the Festival!

Like a California beach party, it get chilly when the sun goes down! While our unique venue is covered, it doesn’t have walls or heat – please dress accordingly! Please note: the venue is next door to 1596 Johnston Street – watch for signs to the entrance and exit.
