Fans of BC wine and food should plan to attend the sixth annual ChefmeetsGrape! The event brings new, fall releases from more than sixty BC VQA wineries together with quintessential BC cuisine from 12 top local restaurants.
BC’s many award-winning wines are enhanced by BC’s red-hot culinary landscape. The restaurant chefs in this year’s event, renowned for their flair in pairing wine and food, will again compete at ChefmeetsGrape for both “Peoples Choice” and “Judges Choice” honours, as they each create appetizer-sized portions of a dish using BC ingredients, paired with a selected BC VQA wine. This year, enjoy BC VQA wines paired with wild BC seafood – including wild BC salmon, wild sablefish and albacore tuna. $5 from every ticket sold will support the Ocean Wise program, promoting sustainable seafood in our restaurants. Come to taste, sip, vote, mingle and enjoy an evening of great BC wine, food and fun!
