To maximize the exposure for Wines of British Columbia while in the market we have partnered with Chef Ned Bell to present a BC VQA Wine and seafood celebration at James Beard House.
The James Beard Foundation offers a variety of events designed to educate, inspire, entertain, and foster an appreciation of American cuisine. Events held daily produce multi-course meals, complemented by wine pairings, prepared by guest chefs from around the world. This is an extremely prestigious venue and we are thrilled to be able to offer this opportunity to our members that are currently in the US market.
Hosted and led by the BCWI and Kurtis Kolt, the main event is a lunch targeting key New York wine, food, lifestyle and travel media and trade, followed by dinner for consumers, wine enthusiasts and James Beard House members.
Wineries are invited to participate in both the lunch and dinner at James Beard House. Featured wineries will be exposure to highly regarded trade and media in this market while being poured at one of the most prominent venues in New York. During the key lunch event, wineries will have the opportunity to present their wine and winery story when the pairing is served.
