Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival Gala Events

March 31, 2007

By Catherine Barr

 

The glasses are empty and the crowds have flown home and once again, the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival has broken all records. Raising over $447,000 at the gala alone, the last days of the fest included parties, luncheons and the festival tasting room which hosted over 2,000 people a day for three sold-out nights at the Vancouver Convention Centre.


Catherine Barr, Vancouver's celebrity events reporter and photographer, is supported online by CLR Communications Ltd, westvancouver.com , northvancouver.com and vancouverview.com

Vancouver's best events and celebrity functions are all archived here. Vancouver pubs, clubs, nightclubs, gala events and fundraisers are included. Thanks for viewing.

Due to server capacity, you will not be able to access or click through to the larger photographs. With over 250,000 unique visits each month, our site would quickly exceed the amount of memory needed.

If you would like to receive a copy of a photograph, then please send an email and enclose the details of the event, the date, the name, the photo number and the names of the people in the photograph. Also, for security reasons, I prefer not to email copies of pictures to anyone other than the people who are actually in the photo. Thanks.
