The Wine Course - British Columbia - 7:00 - 8:00 pm $35

Enjoy BC wines but don’t know your Oliver from Osoyoos? Kurtis will virtually tour guests around the Okanagan & Similkameen Valleys. There will be a broad overview of the region and then we’ll run through specifics of geography, history, and grape varietals of the Naramata Bench, Oliver, Okanagan Falls, the Similkameen Valley and more. Find out how different microclimates, from bone-dry deserts to cool lakesides affect the taste of wine, what to look for from particular regions and find some new favourite bottles while you’re at it! 

The collectible Waldorf Wine ‘Zine you’ll receive as part of The Wine Course will be a keepsake reminder of everything you’ll learn! Attendees will also receive access and two tasting vouchers to get their After School sampling started. 

After School - Spain - 8:00pm - 11pm $10 

*Those attending The Wine Course get in free!

Celebrate the wine culture of British Columbia! "After School"- a stand-up, social event will feature 10 British Columbian wines offered in 3oz pours, encouraging guests to sample a wide variety of wines at very accessible price-points.

The night will immerse guests in the regional culture of the week with canapés, visuals and vinyl selected by resident DJs. After-Schoolparties are the perfect environment for guests who attend the course to put their new knowledge to use are also a casual, fun atmosphere for those who want to skip school but are still interested in learning more about wine.
