INFORM CONNECT ENLIGHTEN Vancouver Sun and their award-winning journalists are dedicated to bringing you comprehensive, trustworthy stories that matter.
680 WINES • 13 COUNTRIES • 100 WINERIES • 27 EVENTS • 7 DAYS Welcome to the 2022 Vancouver International Wine Festival, Canada’s premier wine show. The Tasting Room is the heart of the festival, where all 100 wineries gather together in one room to showcase their wines. Here are some tips to make the most of your tasting session.
• Plan your route – take a moment to look through the wineries and their wines and mark your must-tastes. • W ineries are arranged alphabetically by name, so you’ll find BC next to Spain next to Italy. • Be international – try a wine from all 13 countries (you’ll find New Zealand at the Accolade table). • Try something new – you could find your next go-to wine. • Make notes, take a picture, give the wine a star. You’ll want to remember what you liked later! • Download the VanWineFest app to keep track of your favourite wines. • Look for the blue lanyards – those are top winery personalities here to share their wines and stories with you. • Share the space – step away from the table once you’ve had your taste and asked your questions. • Use the dump stations – you don’t have to finish every sample. Save your palate for the rest of the session! • Pick up your favourite wines in the on-site BC Liquor Store – you can check your purchase and return to the room, then have them delivered to your local store. • Don’t drink and drive – pick up a complimentary transit ticket at the Get Home Safe Booth in the liquor store.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL The Vancouver International Wine Festival, Canada's premier food and wine event, has three mandates: to provide an informative, educational and entertaining wine experience for public and trade; to be a premier marketing opportunity for the wine industry and festival partners; and to raise funds for the Bard on the Beach Theatre Society, which has been the charitable beneficiary since the 2013 festival. VanWineFest grew from humble roots as a fundraising initiative for the former Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company, dreamed up by the late John E. Levine. The inaugural festival in 1979 featured one vintner – Robert Mondavi – and saw approximately 1,000 people attend the two-day event at Hycroft, the Shaughnessy mansion owned by Vancouver's University Women's Club. By its fourth year, the festival had grown to attract 45 California wineries, becoming known as the California Wine Festival. The ninth festival in 1987 was the first multi-national event, with wineries from seven countries showcasing their wines. In 1988, VanWineFest moved to the Vancouver Convention Centre, where the main International Festival Tastings have been held ever since. Today, VanWineFest attracts some of the biggest industry names from around the world and is firmly established as the continent's premier wine event and among the biggest, best and oldest wine events in the world. It features wine tastings and pairings, gourmet dinners and luncheons, educational seminars and culinary competitions, wine parties and a charity wine auction and gala dinner. This is a rare opportunity to meet owners, winemakers and senior representatives from wineries around the globe. For either the experienced wine lover or the novice, the festival has something to please every palate and pocketbook.
Presented by The main fundraising event for Bard on the Beach is the annual Bacchanalia Gala Dinner + Auction, presented by National Bank Private Banking 1859. It’s one of the most spectacular wine and food events in the city – an evening of incredible wine, inventive food pairings, and unparalleled opportunities to enhance your wine cellar.
Tuesday, May 17 Fairmont Hotel Vancouver 6-11 p.m.
The 2022 Bacchanalia Gala kicked off with a sparkling wine reception at 6 p.m., and featured nine additional outstanding wines paired with an exquisite five-course menu prepared by the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver’s culinary team. All of this was topped off with music and dancing. And if that’s not enough, live and silent auctions throughout the evening featured extremely rare wines, epicurean getaways and unique culinary experiences featuring chefs and sommeliers from the West Coast’s top restaurants. A must for any serious wine collector!
