British Columbia’s Road 13 Winery is joining forces with Vancouver’s iconic Save On Meats to present “The Farmer And The Pig” – a three-course dinner celebrating BC wine and diner classics, to benefit A Better Life Foundation in support of Downtown Eastside social initiatives.
At 8:00 pm on Wednesday, December 5th, join Mick Luckhurst of Oliver’s Road 13 Winery (the ‘farmer’) as he shares an assortment of wines illustrating their perfect pairing potential with the homespun, diner fare of Save On Meats (the ‘pig’). A casual evening where guests will not only enjoy the wines, stories and anecdotes behind one of BC’s most-awarded wineries, but get the opportunity to taste an exclusive barrel sample from an upcoming release Mick’s bringing along as well!
All proceeds from the dinner will be going to A Better Life Foundation, the charity created by Mark Brand of Save On Meats. Mark will be on hand to share the latest work Save On Meats has been doing in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and the vision for his new community foundation.
It’s just $25 for three courses, an array of excellent Okanagan wines, plenty of laughs and cheer, plus the support of a great, local charity.
