Event sponsor Wines of Argentina will provide over 80 wines for tasting, more than 10 top Vancouver restaurants will be on hand with food pairings and local bartenders will put their swizzle sticks to the test in a cocktail competition. There will also be a massive silent auction in support of the BC Hospitality Foundation.
