Explore the International Festival Tasting Room with your
food and beverage industry peers at this unparalleled opportunity to meet wine producers
from around the world, taste rare wines and boost your knowledge. The Trade
Tastings are not only an excellent opportunity to network and taste away from
the crowds, but also a chance to sample 159 wines that are unlisted and not yet available in this
marketplace; these are in addition to the 723 served at both trade and public
tastings.
A winery principal, identified by their royal blue lanyard,
is a senior member of the winery, intimately involved in the wine-producing process
as a winemaker, proprietor or senior executive. Feel free to ask questions – this
may be the best opportunity to find out more about each wine.
The first hour in the room each day (1:30 - 2:30 pm) is
reserved for trade buyers, executive chefs, Trade Days Conference Pass holders only, providing the time and freedom to taste wines, find out what’s
hot, and connect with wine industry personalities away from the crowds.
Capacity in the Tasting Room is far lower during the Trade sessions – you can
avoid the crush and share tips with your peers when you visit in the afternoon.
I learn and taste so much at the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival that I seldom miss it. It's one of the world's best festivals -- certainly Canada's.
