Tinhorn Creek Vineyards has always been a leader in the BC wine industry, and embracing the age of social media has proven no different. The Tinhorn Creek team are avid tweeters, Facebook followers and are very LinkedIn. So, to meet and engage their fellow social media types, Winemaker and CEO Sandra Oldfield and Tinhorn staff will host Wine Tasting with a Social Twist on Wednesday May 16 at the Vancouver Urban Winery where guests will enjoy an evening of wine, food and plenty of Twitter activity.
The event is structured as brown bag tasting meets speed dating, with a fast paced tasting of nine different Tinhorn Creek wines, followed by light canapés and a guided unveiling of wines by Sandra Oldfield. The event celebrates the age of social media, and reflects the fast paced times we live in while making wine tasting fun. Once guests move through each table of brown bag tastings, Winemaker Sandra Oldfield will guide tasters through the nuances of each varietal, with the chance to win many great prizes. Chef Jeff Van Geest from Miradoro Restaurant at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is partnering with Vancouver’s longest-standing French restaurant Le Gavroche to create some delicious canapés to pair with the wines.
Between delectable bites and sips of incredible wines, guests will have the chance to meet the people behind the Tinhorn Twitter handles: @SandraOldfield, Winemaker & CEO; @Andrew_Tinhorn, Vineyard Manager Andrew Moon; @KorolKuklo Assistant Winemaker; @linzyw, Marketing Coordinator Lindsey White; @mbuschleague, Sales Manager Mark Butschler; and @winegirljules, Sales & Marketing Manager Julie Copland-Stene.
Wine Tasting with a Social Twist takes place Wednesday, May 16 from 6-9pm at Vancouver Urban Winery, located at 55 Dunlevy Avenue in downtown Vancouver. Tickets are $30, and available online at http://store.tinhorn.com.
