Robert Craig Winery Dinner at Fraiche

on

On February 28th we welcome Adam Glatt, the National Sales Manager at Robert Craig Winery, as he hosts an intimate dinner featuring the wines of Robert Craig.

Tickets are $125 per person, including tax and gratuity. Please contact the restaurant at 604-925-7595 to purchase.

Robert Craig established the winery in 1992 and has been a pioneer in the development of mountain vineyards from Napa Valley’s great appellations and a visionary in creating a new wine style for mountain Cabernets that emphasizes ripe fruit, supple tannins, and early balance and integration.

Chef Dino Renaerts has taken great care to craft a food menu to compliment and enhance the flavour profile of these award winning wines being poured for dinner.
