SUMMARY:International Festival Tasting - Saturday Matinee
DESCRIPTION:The Wine World is Here\nIf you attend only one of the festival’s events\, make it an International Festival Tasting. The Tasting Room at the Vancouver Convention Centre is the heart of the festival\, where all ~100 participating wineries gather to pour their select wines. Discover exciting new wines\, or return to your favourites\, sipping from premium wine glasses. \nBC Liquor Stores Festival Wine Shop\nFree bottle check and wine delivery\nAll wines served at the winery tables are available for purchase at the BC Liquor Stores Festival Wine Shop in the Tasting Room\, but some are in VERY limited supply. When you discover a wine that you want to enjoy at home\, don’t wait until the end of the session to buy it as it might be sold out – put it in the handy bottle check\, and then continue your tasting session. Repeat as necessary. When you’re ready to leave\, check out your wines. And if you live in British Columbia\, whether you’ve bought one bottle or several cases\, your wine can be shipped free of charge to your nearest BC Liquor Store. Very convenient! \nPlease note: the entrance to the Festival Wine Shop is in the Tasting Room and is only accessible to International Festival Tasting ticketholders during their tasting session. \nWords to the wise\nThis is a wine tasting\, not a food event. Be sure to have a meal before you arrive. That said\, limited food samples are available to enhance your tasting experience. \nPace yourself. Have a game plan – you can’t taste every wine in the room. And don’t swallow everything that’s poured into your glass. Have a taste and then make use of a spit station to pour out the rest. And if you do want to taste a lot of wines\, we offer four tasting sessions over three days\, so repeat as necessary! \nPlease don’t wear fragrance! All the noses and palates in the room will thank you. \nMust be 19 or older (No Minors) to attend Vancouver International Wine Festival events. Two pieces of ID (one containing photo & birthdate) are required. Infants and children are not permitted. \nFestival events are subject to Public Health Orders and/or venue policies. As per the current situation\, we will not be requiring proof of vaccination for entrance to events\, and masks are not required. If the vaccine card is reinstated prior to the event\, however\, we will update our policy to ensure we are in line with provincial guidelines. As we have a firm policy of no refunds or exchange\, please keep that in mind when making your purchase. \nDon’t Wine and Drive!\nDon’t even think about bringing your car or bike. \n\nTake transit. BC Liquor Stores offers a free transit ticket at their Get Home Safe booth in the onsite Festival Wine Shop.\nAssign a designated driver\nTake a cab or limo\nWalk\n\n
