Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival April 19-25, 2010

The Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival is one of the biggest and oldest wine events in the world. This year the spotlight is on Argentina and New Zealand.

The heart of the festival is the International Festival Tasting Room at the Vancouver Convention Centre, where wines are available for sampling, with more being served at special events including a gala auction, wine seminars and trade events.

Argentina has been described as the wine world’s 'field of dreams'. Often at dizzying altitudes, under the snow capped Andean mountains, sun-drenched grapes are ripened to perfection year after year.

New Zealand wine is an experience like no other. Special combination of soil, climate and water, their innovative pioneering spirit and commitment to quality all come together to deliver pure, intense and diverse experiences. In every glass of New Zealand Wine is a world of pure discovery.
