Fans of BC food and wine should plan to attend the
fourth annual Chef meets Grape! The event brings quintessential BC
cuisine together with new, fall releases from the Wines of British
Columbia, with more than thirty BC VQA wineries represented.
BC’s
red-hot culinary landscape is enhanced by BC’s many award-winning
wines. The eleven restaurant chefs in this year’s event, renowned for
their flair in pairing food with wines, will again compete at Chef
meets Grape for both “Peoples Choice” and “Judges Choice” honours, as
they create appetizer-sized portions of a dish using BC ingredients,
paired with a selected BC VQA wine. This year, enjoy BC VQA wines
paired with wild BC seafood - including wild BC salmon, wild sablefish
and sardines. $5 from every ticket sold will support the Ocean Wise
program, promoting sustainable seafood in our restaurants. Come to
taste, sip, vote, mingle and enjoy an evening of great BC wine, food
and fun!
