2016 winemaker series 10 GREAT DAYS, 10 GREAT WINES, 10 GREAT STORIES. The Calgary Stampede is an extraordinary story - an event that has come to represent a defining part of this great city and its people. At its heart it pays homage to the pioneer days that Calgary was founded upon - the Wild West, frontier lands, stories of hard work, unyielding perseverance, entrepreneurial spirit and western hospitality. Paying tribute to this rich and proud history, while ensuring we embrace this heritage as we write the next chapters of our story, is what we celebrate during these ten incredible days. To embrace this spirit we have hand-selected ten amazing wines, each with its own story that celebrates similar values held dear to the Calgary Stampede. These wines and winemakers share a deep love for agriculture and farming along with our values of western heritage, uncompromised quality and environmentally and socially responsible practices. Far better than us telling their stories however, we are honoured to celebrate our 2016 Winemaker Series and the following incredible people who will join us to share the story of their wine with you… We hope you enjoy!
