Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival

Mar 2, 2006

By Catherine Barr

 

The 28th Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival was held all last week at various venues around the city. France may have been the host country this year but they were not alone as 15 countries and 186 wineries took part in wine dinners, trade tastings, seminars and feature food events. West Vancouver's Capilano Golf and Country Club played host to one of the last wine dinners of the festival last Sunday where Argentina's best bottles were paired with authentic food at Tango Night.

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.

West Van's grand dame Wendy McDonald (left) is the epitome of style and class and the face of BC Bearing. Seen here with her daughter Penny Omnes, you'll be hard pressed to believe that both lovely ladies are grandmothers.
