Come taste the fresh flavours of BC, along with new fall releases from the Wines of British Columbia
It doesn’t get any more BC than this. Fans of BC food and wine should plan to attend the fifth annual ChefmeetsGrape! To be held on Thursday, September 17 from 7pm to 10pm at the Westin Bayshore Hotel in Vancouver. The event brings together quintessential BC cuisine with the new fall releases from the Wines of British Columbia – with more than forty BC VQA wineries to be represented.
And who better to marry quintessential BC food and BC wines than BC’s top chefs? BC’s red-hot culinary landscape is enhanced by our many award-winning wines. The thirteen restaurant chefs in this year’s event, renowned for their flair in pairing food with wines, 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 their selected BC VQA wine. This year, enjoy BC VQA wines paired with BC Turkey and wild BC seafood. Come to taste, sip, vote and enjoy an evening of great BC wine, food and fun!
The event is organized by the British Columbia Wine Institute (BCWI) and is also a fundraiser for Ocean Wise. Partial proceeds from ticket sales will go to this Vancouver Aquarium conservation program, which promotes sustainable seafood choices in our restaurants. Tickets are $75, and are available at the following BC VQA Wine Stores:
