cornucopia 2006 - Whistler's Celebration of Wine and Food

Nov 9, 10, 11, 2006

By Catherine Barr

 

Cornucopia - Whistler's Celebration of Wine and Food - is one of the most popular events of the year, especially among North Shore residents who own homes in Whistler. Attracting visitors from Vancouver and beyond, the festival celebrated its' 10th anniversary last weekend with a record breaking list of wine seminars, trade tastings, winemakers' dinners and the "Crush! Gala Grand Tasting" on Saturday night. For those wishing extra indulgences, the Bearfoot Bistro's "Moulin Rouge" did not disappoint as did Araxi's "Bubbles, Jazz and The Sea" which helped celebrate the restaurant's 25th year.
