16th Annual Pacific Northwest Bacchanalian Wine & Food Festival

Celebrating the Wine & Food of the Pacific Northwest
At Storyeum – Friday, September 22nd, 2006
7:00 – 10:00 pm (doors open at 6:30 pm)

The Canadian International Dragon Boat Festival Society is proud to announce the 16th Annual Pacific Northwest Wine Festival – a celebration of the best of the Pacific Northwest. Sumptuous food samplings, wonderful wines, entertainment, silent auction and raffles make for a fun and memorable evening.

This is the only festival that celebrates Pacific Northwest wine and food by bringing together top restaurants in the Lower Mainland and featuring exclusive wines from British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and Idaho states.

Produced by the Canadian International Dragon Boat Festival Society, this event ensures the sustainability of the nearly 20 year old Vancouver International Dragon Boat festival as a fundraiser for the Society. Proceeds from the evening are used for youth initiative programs implemented and supported by the Society, other Society sustainability initiatives and the individual Charities of Choice for the Teams.

40 plus wineries are expected to display their top product and 15 restaurants to serve up some amazing food. There will be an exclusive Silent Auction and a chance to win many great prizes during the evening.

New to this year’s event are the “First Class Flights” – a value added premium ticket. These tickets, to be sold in groups of 10 or more, will offer the ticket holders a small private tasting experience between the hours of 6 and 7 pm, and admission to the public event at 7 pm. Each one of these hosted experiences will be themed. Themes could include “Wine and Food, Cause and Effect”, “What a difference a glass makes!”, “Ice Wines, a BC Tradition”, and “Celebrate with BC Sparkling Wines”. “First Class Flights” premium tickets will be available for $120.00 plus tax per ticket.
