The Arts Club Theatre has partnered with the BC Wine Institute to present the popular ChefmeetsBCGrape event along with two companion dinners. Not only does this fundraising series pay tribute to the top echelon of BC VQA wine and food produced in the province, but it also benefits the not-for-profit theatre company.
The 9th annual ChefMeetsBCGrape was June 5 at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre East, and offers the largest selection of BC VQA wines (350) in Vancouver to swirl, sip, and sample in a single event. Tickets are $80, or $75 per person for groups of six or more.
The Best of BC wine-paired dinner is at MARKET by Jean-Georges (1128 West Georgia), on June 6, at 6pm. Hosted by Master of Wine Rhys Pender, this dinner showcases a selection of the BC VQA wines featured in Macleans May Wine in Canada guide.
On Monday, June 10, at 6pm, the evening is dedicated to the premium labels of BCs award-winning Mission Hill Family Estate. The dinner, held at Provence Mediterranean Grill (4473 West 10th Avenue), will include a menu of inspired coastal French cuisine by chef and owner Jean-Francis Quaglia. Wine expert Andrew Doyle brings his knowledge of viticulture to the event.
Tickets to each dinner are $165 per person (includes a $85 charitable tax receipt). Attend both dinners for the special price of $300 per person ($145 charitable tax receipt). ArtsClub.com.
