Wine fest pairs with Bard
The Vancouver International Wine Festival, formerly known as the Vancouver Playhouse International Wine Festival, offers opportunities for connoisseurs and those not so familiar with wine to gain knowledge on everything from pairings to varietals to growing grapes. But it also raises money and publicizes worthy cultural organizations. The festival launched in 1979 as a fundraising initiative for the then-Vancouver Playhouse Theatre Company and featured sole vintner Robert Mondavi. That inaugural event saw 1,000 people attend the two-day event at Hycroft Mansion. Unfortunately, the Playhouse ceased operations last year after almost five decades. Over 34 years, the festival raised more than $7.8 million for the Playhouse. The newly named Vancouver International Wine Festival announced last September its new charitable partner is Bard on the Beach Theatre Society.
