Cornucopia, Whistler’s celebration of food and wine, hits the village next weekend from November 10-20th and showcases premium winery dinners, culinary demonstrations, exquisite tastings, educational seminars and so much more.

Since its the 20th Anniversary of Cornucopia in Whistler, expect even more exciting events and experiences to taste incredible wines, like Lillooet’s Fort Berens Estate Winery, who is launching their brand new Red Gold. For the first time, public are invited to taste the exceptional quality of the Red Gold designation 2014 Red Gold at the following events:

November 11th- Winery dinner at the Four Seasons
November 11th- Public tasting of Red Gold at Cellar Door, tickets $120
November 13th- Public seminar dedicated to Red Gold, tickets $42

While barrel sampling the red wines, the Fort Berens team discovered a few barrels that were of exceptional quality wines. Well, its time to uncork these wines and taste away because they are ready for public, and Cornucopia will be the first time you can try the Red Gold wines. Get your tickets before they sell out!
