41st Vancouver International Wine Festival (Feb 23-Mar 3)
The Vancouver International Wine Festival has been described as “the largest wine festival in the Americas” with 25,000+ admissions. It is Canada’s premier wine show and widely considered to be one of the best wine events in the world. Red wine is apparently good for us, so it’s fitting that this year’s featured region is California (known for it’s lush red and crisp white varietals). The festival also raises funds for the Bard on the Beach Theatre Society, host of another beloved Vancouver festival. Get your tickets here, and hurry as many of the festival’s events are selling out quickly!
