The festival aims to increase the presence of tequila in Western Canada. British Columbia tequila sales in 2012 reached $24 million and are growing every year, especially in the high-end premium category. In fact, since our inaugural 2012 event, BC tequila sales have increased more than 9%. This year\u2019s VITE, with the help of the Consulate General of Mexico, ProMexico, Mexico Tourism Board and the BC Hospitality Foundation as our Charity Partner, will fuel that growth even further. Our Main Event is a public Grand Tasting Hall (1500 tickets available) with an afternoon trade component to ensure maximum exposure to tequila products and a large customer base. During Vancouver Agave Week (May 26-31), we are holding tequila seminars, master classes, and pairing dinners at venues around Vancouver to further promote tequila and other agave spirits.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>VITE 2014 will be held on Saturday, May 31, 2014. The date places the Expo well after the Vancouver International Wine Festival and just in time for spring and summer when tequila sales increase. This timing will allow tequila brands and sponsors to place themselves before a large core of tequila aficionados, cocktail imbibers, and high-end spirits consumers. The afternoon trade tasting event will also draw buyers from across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trade Tasting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Saturday, May 31, 5:45-7:00pm (Entry only 5:45-6:15pm)<br \/>\nCost: $10.00<\/p>\n<p>All proceeds to BC Hospitality Foundation<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>If you work in liquor retail or the hospitality industry and would like to enhance your knowledge about tequila, we offer an exclusive trade event especially for you.<\/p>\n<p>Limited number of tickets available &#8211; no entry after 6:15pm.
