August 30 – A bit baffled about the differences between Old World and New World wines?  Want to kick up your knowledge on the subtleties of it all?

Spend the evening at Beachside Forno for a fun, food and wine fuelled evening.   Designed and led by Vancouver’s affable and charming wine luminary, Kurtis Kolt, join us for a celebration of wine from both burgeoning and well-established regions.

The event will also introduce new Executive Chef Jason Harris and his take on fun and flavourful old and new world pairings. He will be presenting his riff on a classic dish as well as its modern interpretation with each of our old world and new world pairings. Harris joins Beachside Forno from his most recent post at ORU in the Fairmont Pacific Rim.

For only $65 per guest*, enjoy four courses and eight wines –  each course will be paired with an old and new world version of the same varietal as Kolt shares some insight on what’s in the glass.
