There are few things that we love more than wine and social media and Wine Tasting with a Social Twist bring two of our favorite things together. Hosted by Tinhorn Creek Vineyard’s Winemaker & CEO Sandra Oldfield, the wine tasting gives attendees the chance to enjoy a night of vino, food and lots of online action.

The event is structured as brown bag tasting meets speed dating, with a fast paced tasting of nine different Tinhorn Creek wines, followed by light canapés and a guided unveiling of wines by Sandra Oldfield. Once guests move through each table of brown bag tastings, winemaker Sandra Oldfield will guide tasters through the nuances of each varietal, with the chance to win many great prizes. Chef Jeff Van Geest from Miradoro Restaurant at Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is partnering with Vancouver’s longest- standing French restaurant Le Gavroche to create some delicious canapés to pair with the wines.

Tickets are $30 and can be purchases here.

If you plan on going be sure to follow:  @SandraOldfield, @Andrew_Tinhorn, @KorolKuklo, @linzyw, @mbuschleague, and @winegirljules before you attend!
