Thursday July 15, 2010  Taste: Victoria's Festival of
Food and Wine uncorked with The Main Event – a delicious and generous cuisine and wine tasting. This unique evening offered tastings of over 100 British Columbia wines as well as the most amazing local cuisine presented by some of the best Vancouver Island chefs. **The Main Event SOLD OUT and promises to be a sought after ticket for 2011!  Thank you for participating in Taste and stay tuned for 2011 dates to be posted in the fall!**
 

One ticket price allows you to savour cuisine from Victoria restaurants who walk the talk with locally grown, sustainable products and the quality of tastes is sure to impress.  Chat with distinguished chefs, vintners, cheesemakers, farmers, cidermakers, tea masters and more.  The Crystal Garden on Douglas Street in downtown Victoria will be alive with the funky vibe of Greenlaw and fabulous tastes from our own backyard.
