Do you like great food and wine as much as you like a bargain? Then you’d better make sure Chef Meets BC Grape is on your calendar. This multi-city event is the largest tasting of B.C. wine and food in Western Canada, celebrating all things grown, crushed, raised and produced in our province.

It kicks off April 26 at the JW Marriott Parq Vancouver with an event featuring more than 350 wines and gourmet fare from 18 restaurants, for a steal of a deal at $90. Then Calgary hosts the event on May 10 at Hotel Arts with a dozen restaurants and more than 125 wines ($75). Finally, it comes home to the Okanagan on June 23 when more than 350 wines will be poured and dishes from 12 restaurants sampled at See Ya Later Ranch ($115).
