VanWineFest grew from humble roots as a fundraising initiative for the former Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company, dreamed up by the late John E. Levine. The inaugural festival in 1979 featured one vintner – Robert Mondavi – and saw approximately 1,000 people attend the two-day event at Hycroft, the Shaughnessy mansion owned by Vancouver’s University Women’s Club. By its fourth year, the festival had grown to attract 45 California wineries, becoming known as the California Wine Festival. The ninth festival in 1987 was the first multi-national event, with wineries from seven countries showcasing their wines. In 1988, VanWineFest moved to the Vancouver Convention Centre, where the main International Festival Tastings have been held ever since. In 1996, VanWineFest began shining the spotlight on specific wine regions or countries by featuring a new area each year, with the French wine region Bordeaux as the inaugural theme. This year, the theme region is California, with 53 wineries coming from the Golden State, a fitting tribute to our first festival 40 years ago. California was also the theme region in 1998, 2004, and 2013. Today VanWineFest attracts some of the biggest industry names from around the world and is firmly established as the continent’s premier wine event and among the biggest, best and oldest wine events in the world. It features wine tastings and pairings, gourmet dinners and luncheons, educational seminars and culinary competitions, wine parties and a charity wine auction and gala dinner. This is a rare opportunity to meet owners, winemakers and senior representatives from wineries around the globe. For either the experienced wine lover or the novice, the festival has something to please every palate and pocketbook. 6-11 p.m. Saturday Night! Feb 23, 2019 Fairmont Hotel Vancouver The main fundraising event for Bard on the Beach is the annual Bacchanalia Gala Dinner + Auction, one of the most spectacular wine and food events in the city – an evening of incredible wine, inventive food pairings, and unparalleled opportunities to enhance your wine cellar. The Bacchanalia Gala kicks off with a sparkling wine reception at 6 p.m., and features nine additional outstanding wines paired with an exquisite five-course menu prepared by the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver’s culinary team. All of this is topped off with live music and dancing. And if that’s not enough, live and silent auctions throughout the evening feature extremely rare wines, epicurean getaways and unique culinary experiences featuring chefs and sommeliers from the West Coast’s top restaurants. A must for any serious wine collector! 6 Vancouver International Wine Festival 2019 Official Wine Storage Provider to The Vancouver International Wine Festival 604-998-9463 www.griffinwinestorage.com 901 Third Street, North Vancouver · Individual alarmed lockers · State of the art security · Exclusive wine lounge access · Commercial grade climate control · Emergency back up · Wine tastings / meet fellow wine enthusiasts Vancouver International Wine Festival 2019 7 106 YEARS AS VANCOUVER’S TRUSTED VOICE You can count on the Vancouver Sun for credible news from the largest local newsroom in the community.

  • Lamorinda AVA Petition

    Lamorinda AVA Petition

    PETITION TO ESTABLISH A NEW AMERICAN VITICULTURAL AREA TO BE NAMED LAMORINDA The following petition serves as a formal request for the establishment and recognition of an American Viticultural Area to be named Lamorinda, located in Contra Costa County, California. The proposed AVA covers 29,369 acres and includes nearly 139 acres of planted vines and planned plantings. Approximately 85% of this acreage is occupied or will be occupied by commercial viticulture (46 growers). There are six bonded wineries in the proposed AVA and three additional growers are planning bonded wineries. The large number of growers and relatively limited acreage demonstrates an area characterized by small vineyards, a result of some of the unique characteristics of the area. This petition is being submitted by Patrick L. Shabram on behalf of Lamorinda Wine Growers Association. Wineries and growers that are members of the Lamorinda Wine Growers Association are listed in Exhibit M: Lamorinda Wine Growers Association. This petition contains all the information required to establish an AVA in accordance with Title 27 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 9.3. List of unique characteristics: All viticulture limited to moderate-to-moderately steep slopes carved from of uplifted sedimentary rock. Geological rock is younger, less resistant sedimentary rock than neighboring rock. Other surrounding areas are areas of active deposition. Soils in Lamorinda have higher clay content, a result of weathered claystone. The topography allows for shallow soils and good runoff, reducing moisture held in the soil. Despite its position near intrusions of coastal air, Lamorinda is protected from coastal cooling influences. Daytime microclimates are more dependent on slope, orientation, and exposure, leading to a large number of microclimates.
