Winefest Edmonton

The 2012 Winefest Edmonton was a delicious success, where attendees were afforded the opportunity to sample over 220 local and international wines, port, sparkling and dessert wines from fifteen of the world's most celebrated wine regions!

Winefest allows the opportunity to 'try before you buy' within a casually refined atmosphere - every sip and sample is included in the ticket price. At Winefest, wine experts are available to share their knowledge as consumers taste their way from booth to booth, suggesting tasting notes while educating the palate and senses. Stop by the on-site Liquor Depot store to purchase favourite finds to enjoy at home. Savour a delicious selection of hors d'oeuvres in a relaxed, yet fun atmosphere. Also included in ticket prices is a Tasting Notebook and complimentary wine glass. Tickets sell-out quickly, so stay tuned for when tickets go on sale next year!
