Exploring the Wines of Canada (especially wines of British Columbia): A Tasting Seminar
Expertise level: all levels.

In the past 35 years, Canada has grown its quality wine industry in each of Ontario and British Columbia and Nova Scotia.  How have our wineries developed so many internationally acclaimed bubbly, white, red and dessert wines from areas such as the Annapolis Valley, Niagara Peninsula and Okanagan Valley?  Join us in a 2.5 hours taste-tour of the wine country of Canada (main focus BC); exploring a brief history, terroir and… through tasting… the flavours of 4-6 Canadian (BC) wines (attendance-budget-dependent). A (just retired) UBC wine science instructor will quickly review basic wine appreciation techniques, and key wine regions.  Tips on pairing wines with food provided “enroute”.  

Cost to participate: $19.00 ($15 + $4 for one ISO glass)
Deadline to RSVP for Exploring the Wines of Canada - April 14th 6:00 pm

The Wine Appreciation Group has a limited number of drop-in spaces available for the April and May sessions. Please reach out to David MacArthur at david.mcarthur@ubc.ca to register.
