I was invited to participate in Wine Australia’s media tasting. Yum would best describe this wine and dine experience, and it all started with these wine and food pairings. I went into a bit more detail with my favourites. Please stay tuned for part 2 of this post, as I use my rudimentary yet honest experience with wine to talk about the six categories of wine sampled at this event.
[Wines] Wine Tasting at Seasons in QE Park
Last Tuesday, VanFoodies was invited to the "Treats for Tweeters" event at the Seasons Restaurant in Queen Elizabeth Park. It's its bi-weekly wine tasting, but this one was exclusively for some tweeters, bloggers and foodies.
A Taste of Aboriginal Food Culture
As part of the Olympic festivities, I was also invited to the Aboriginal Food Showcase at the Pan Pacific. It was the opening night of the Kla-howya exhibit at the hotel. This was my first encounter with Aboriginal food culture, so I had no idea what to expect. And because there really wasn't any benchmark to measure against, instead of reviewing the food, I will keep it short, making this more of a photo blog and let you take a glimpse of what I ate.
BC Showcase – Taste of Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast
With the Olympics backdrop, many events are held in Vancouver to take advantage of that. Joyce and I had the pleasure to go to an event meant to showcase the food and wines from Vancouver Island and Sunshine Coast. The event was by invitations only. Having the privilege to receive the invitations (as media) was a compliment to the website as well as to anyone who follows us.
Foodie Fun at Tourism Vancouver Open House
Our office was invited to the annual Tourism Vancouver Open House on Oct 7. Having only worked for a year, this is my first time attending the event. And leading up to the event, I have been told by a number of people that it's one of their favourite industry events. Especially the great food they serve at the event. That definitely set up some high expectations.
