About the Event

WE'RE GOING VIRTUAL!

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are unable to do the Yaletown Tasting at The Greek.  

Fret not! We are working on a way to do the tasting virtually. If you live the metro area, we will safely deliver the wines to you and send you a link for a live online tasting session, scheduled for the day after you get your wines. 

Look out for an email from Vinequity the week of November 23rd, with all of the details.

Vinequity is delighted to announce that our partners Paradis Wines and Spirits and Mad Scientist Wine have both agreed to donate their time and wine, and host this wine tasting and education session!

“Those who maybe have an academic interest but not a passion… I want them to have both. Or if they only have to have one, I want them to be passionate about wine because it’s the elixir of life.” Dorothy J Gaiter

We want you to also be able to marry your wine academics with passion. This tasting event is your opportunity to take part in a grassroots tasting curated to take you through testable wine styles to complex deliciousness, and it is inclusive and perfect for wine beginners and wine pros. All at no cost to you!

This is an inclusive event with a primary focus on the Canadian BIPOC wine and hospitality community interested in advancing their career through further wine education.

Members of the Vinequity Directory are also given priority placement.
