The Vancouver International Wine Festival, Canada’s premier food and wine trade show, has three primary mandates: to deliver an informative, educational, and entertaining wine experience for both the public and the trade; to serve as a leading marketing opportunity for the wine industry and its trade show partners; and to raise funds for the Bard on the Beach Theatre Society.
As a prominent annual trade show, the festival takes place every February at the Vancouver Convention Centre and various trade show venues in Metro Vancouver. With a focus on creating an enriching experience for trade show participants, the event provides a unique platform for industry professionals and enthusiasts to engage with a diverse range of wines, fostering meaningful connections and trade show partnerships. Additionally, the festival’s commitment to philanthropy ensures that funds raised contribute to supporting cultural initiatives through the Bard on the Beach Theatre Society, adding a distinctive element to this dynamic trade show event.
