Wildebeest Hosting ‘Top Drop’ Wine Dinner With Roche & Tawse Wineries, May 23

The GOODS from Wildebeest

Vancouver, BC | On May 23, we are excited to collaborate with Top Drop Vancouver and a duo of wineries — BC’s Roche Wines & Ontario’s Tawse Winery — to create a cross-Canada wine and food experience. Chefs Alessandro Vianello and Ian McHale and Wine Director Justin Everett have teamed up to craft an exclusive menu that highlights fresh spring ingredients alongside these exemplary wines.

Established in 2005 as one of Canada’s first organic and biodynamic wineries, Tawse is a relative newcomer to the Niagara wine scene. Their combination of traditional winemaking techniques with state-of-the-art technology has propelled them to the forefront of the Canadian wine scene with four ‘Winery of the Year’ wins since 2010. Winemaker Paul Pender will be joining us to share the story of this unique project.

Roche Wines, the project of Dylan and Pénélope Roche, is still in its infancy but is already making waves with Vancouver’s top sommeliers. Originally from Vancouver, Dylan found his passion for wine while living in Burgundy, while Pénélope counts five generations of viticulture and winemaking at Château Les Charmes Haut-Brion, her family estate.

Due to the intimate nature of this dinner we expect to sell out early. Get your tickets today!

Tickets are $150 including tax and gratuity, as well as a $10 donation to the BC Hospitality Foundation, the charitable beneficiary of Top Drop Vancouver.

Tuesday, May 23 | Reception at 6:30pm. Dinner at 7:00pm. | TICKETS
