This year’s Valetine’s and Galetine’s Day may be behind us, but we don’t stop celebrating love. Bring your gals, pals and valentine to this pop-up bar at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. It’s called “Blush” and it’s only open Tuesdays to Saturdays until February 29. It’s a collaboration between Fairmont Hotel Vancouver and Saintly Wine. It’s pink and so cute, and you can order fun, romance-themed cocktails like Passion Potion and Love Letter, or mini bottles of Saintly sparkling brut and rosé. They also have nibbles and desserts like Gochujang Chicken Tenders, Fresh Oysters, Tuna Tataki, Charcuterie and Cheesecakes.

I’m quite in awe of how Fairmont Vancouver is transforming this space on the lower level for different pop-ups. First, it was Kringle’s for Christmas, and now Blush for Valetine’s Day. Make sure to look for the pink photo booth at the entrance. Will you check it out?

Disclosure: I was invited to a media preview event.

They also have interesting products that I’ve never heard of, including curcumin powder and the Indonesian ginseng called Tongkat ali.
