BEST of the WEST, sponsored by Grosvenor Americas, is an evening of food and wine pairings that celebrates the best British Columbia has to offer and takes place Wednesday, August 6 from 7-9 pm.
Hosted by house wine, the fourth annual BEST of the WEST celebration lights up the Ambleside pier for a fantastic gastronomic event that is not to be missed. For this event, 12 of the Lower Mainland’s best restaurants will be paired with 12 BC wineries, and tasked with creating the perfect complementary dish to go along with the exquisite wine selections.
There will also be two additional tasting stations at this year’s BEST of the WEST – one will feature delights from the Naramata Bench Wineries Association and a second will feature oyster sampling by Rodney’s Oyster House.
The evening’s guests will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite food/wine combination, with the winning restaurant and winery team crowned BEST of the WEST for 2014. There will be a draw for those guests who voted in the contest, with the winner receiving a $100 gift card to the winning restaurant.
