Tastings & Events
Part of what we do is partnering with wine regions around the world to organize tastings catered to the wine and hospitality trade in Vancouver. Sometimes, we even get the opportunity to extend the invite to our previous WSET alum, and wine enthusiasts. Check out the events below!
Upcoming Tastings & Events
The rockstars of the wine world are visiting and you’re invited.
The Headliners series is an opportunity to introduce you to the great minds of the wine world, in a fun and casual class-as-interview format.
Join us for an hour of storytelling and farming discussion with Aaron Godard, winegrower and fruit farmer from Scout Vineyards winery in the Similkameen Valley, then stick around for a glass or two as we transform the classroom into a wine bar.
We’re particularly excited to talk to Aaron at what feels like a pivotal moment in grape-growing: many BC folks have re-planted vineyards and renewed their focus on wine, but Aaron’s vision is broader: fruit isn’t just about wine, it’s also about food and entire biological systems. Join us to talk wine but also tree fruit and discuss the unique position of farming in Canada’s organic farming capital: the Similkameen Valley.
The event starts at 6 PM on Thursday, June 11, 2026
at 265 E Pender St., in Chinatown, Vancouver.
Each ticket includes four samples of Scout’s wines, served to guide the one hour of conversation. After the class, wines by the glass are available for purchase at an additional cost (but fairly priced!). There will also be a chance to buy off-sales bottles to take home, too! We hope as many people as possible will have a chance to meet Aaron so expect lots of standing room once the wine bar portion of the evening begins.
One night only. No prior knowledge required. Everyone welcome.

TRADE ONLY
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Trade only refers to those working professionally in a wine-centered business. Sometimes events are exclusively for those buying wine for retail stores and restaurants, and other times to focus is to bring importers together to try wineries that are looking to get into the British Columbian market.
