Other Seminar Topics Available
It is always our pleasure to provide a current showcase of the British Columbia Wine Industry through education and tasting. Each year we offer new Seminars which are topical and unique, taking participants into all aspects of wine appreciation.
The following list of Wine Education Seminars was available through previous seasons. Please advise us if you see a topic which you would like to book for your private event.
100 Mile Diet Wine Pairing
Diet by geography? That calls for wine!
The 100 Mile Diet is a relatively new culinary trend that encourages people to shop exclusively from local farms and farmers’ markets. Choosing foods produced within your own community puts you in the drivers seat when it comes to fresh, healthy eating.
This food and wine pairing seminar will look at the many fresh foods available to us here in our 100 mile radius, sampling creative appetizers and pairing with locally produced wines.
Celebrity Faces of Wine
Plan for fun as this seminar serves up entertaining and informative bites to accompany an educational wine tasting game!
Who are the people leading the edge of today’s Wine Industry? You might like to know they don’t all come from “Ye Auld” wine making families!
Sometimes surprising, always interesting, Celebrity Faces of Wine looks at past careers of current Wine Industry movers and shakers, and the stellar quality of wines they are producing.
Ancient Wines Symposium
This wine and food pairing seminar gives “aging wines” a whole new meaning! In fact, in ancient times wines were never aged. The object was to drink them as fast as possible before they spoiled in the hot climate.
As the sweet Roman elixir started tasting nasty, you won’t believe what people did to make it drinkable!
Ancient Wines Symposium looks at fascinating, frightening and funny practices in wine production stretching from ancient Egypt to the Canadian liquor prohibition of the 1920’s.
What Wine Goes with Buffalo
Finding the best flavour combinations between food and wine should be a fun and delicious journey, with an accent on sensible! Learn how flavour characteristics in food alter the taste of wine, and how to choose wines to accompany real meals found on a menu or at home.
Modern-day wine and food pairing educators understand there are differences in the way people taste things. Subtle or significant, a flavour may seem delicious to one person, but quite the opposite to another.
This seminar helps you to identify the most prominent characteristics are in a wine and how those flavours seem to change depending on what kind of food they are served with.
Ice Wine Off the Port Bow
Ahoy Land Lubbers! The good ship Queen of the Vine will explore the uncharted Strait of Ice Wines, with stops on Port Island.
If dessert wines are a mystery to you, or you’re a runaway aficionado of these sweet beauties, don’t miss this seminar. You’ll learn how and where such rare wines are made, why they are so special, and how to serve them for maximum enjoyment.
