These are single-winery tastings featuring verticals of premium, rare or unique vintages in an intimate setting. There is a purchase limit of two tickets per person for all Boardroom Tastings.
LunchSit-down or grazing, these Saturday lunches are multi-winery food and wine extravaganzas at top restaurants that celebrate the wine and cuisine of particular countries or regions.

Trade events are available only to those who work in the wine, hospitality or restaurant industry. Proof of such employment may be required when ordering. Vancouver Wine Festival BC Word from the WiseNothing shouts “wine rookie” louder than fragrance. Refrain from stinky stuff like perfume, cologne, aftershave and hairspray. The noses, palates and wines in the room will thank you. 
Dress code: avoid fleece. Just kidding about the fleece – but we suggest smart business attire, and enthusiastically recommend black. (Red wine never looks good on white.) 
To go the distance in the tasting room, wear really comfortable shoes.
