Wines of Argentina presents Dish ‘n Dazzle – May 16th

Taste superb food and wines, have some fun & support a worthy cause!

As regular visitors may know, we’re involved with the BC Hospitality Foundation. This charity provides last chance financial assistance for people in the hospitality and associated industries who are coping with hardship arising from a serious health-related condition. If this sounds a bit clinical, you should check the website to see what we do and how we have helped out. Some of the stories are truly moving … The foundation also awards 10 scholarships a year to students pursuing careers in the culinary industry.

If you’re in the biz, you owe it to yourself to check it out—and even if you’re not, you should have a look anyway!

Dish ‘n Dazzle features grazing stations from 14 top Vancouver restaurants and culinary institutions, paired with wines from leading producers from throughout Argentina. Plus, you can check out (and sip the winners) from a competition featuring the cream of Vancouver’s bartenders in a cocktail shakedown competition, bid for great silent auction items and enter a raffle for a chance to win a spectacular grand prize courtesy of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts.

It all goes down on the evening of May 16th, at the suitably spectacular Fairmont Waterfront Hotel.

Below is more information on the event.

Tickets are just $75 and still available at:

Cheers – See you there!
