Italy will be part of the next Vancouver International Wine Festival, to be held from February 20th to 28th in the worldwide famous Canadian city.
Italy’s participation was nothing but expected since, as we stated in one of our previous articles on WeVillas, the country is still on top of the list in terms of wine production: in numbers, the 2015-16 harvest is expected to yield 50.37 million hectolitres.
The Vancouver International Wine Festival, defined as “one of the very best wine festivals in the world”, is at its 38th edition and basically has three mandates: to provide an informative, educational and entertaining wine experience for public and trade; to be a premier marketing opportunity for the wine industry and festival partners; and to raise funds for the Bard on the Beach Theatre Society.
The 2016 edition will include several wine seminars and close-ups completely dedicated to Italy - the main theme of the fair: main guests will be worldwide renowned wines, such as Amarone, Chianti, Roccato, Valpolicella, Cabernet, Spumante and many more.
