Welcome to the 2016 Vancouver
International Wine Festival,
Canada’s premier wine show. The
Acura Tasting Room is the heart of
the festival, where all 155 wineries
gather together in one room to
showcase their wines. Here are
some tips to make the most of your
tasting time.
•
Plan your route – take a moment to look
through the wineries and their wines and
mark your must-tastes.
•
Be international – try a wine from all 14
countries (and all nine Italian wine regions).
•
Try something new – you could find your next
go-to or special occasion wine.
•
Make notes, take pictures, give the wines a
star. You’ll want to remember what you liked
later!
•
Look for the blue lanyards – those are worn
by top winery personalities here to share
their wines and stories with you.
•
Share the space – step away from the table
once you’ve received your taste and asked
your questions.
•
Use the dump buckets – you don’t have to
finish every drop. Save your palate for the
rest of the session!
•
Pick up your favourite wines in the on-site BC
Liquor Store – you can check your purchase
and return to the room, then have them
delivered to your local store.
•
You can also get your favourite wines “Buy
the Case” right at the winery table. Look for
specially marked bottles.
•
Don’t Wine and Drive – pick up a complimentary transit ticket at the Get Home Safe
Booth on your way out.

Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival
Wine Festival’s Charitable Beneficiary
Mission: To perform, explore and celebrate the genius of William Shakespeare.
Vision: To create an enduring contribution to the cultural fabric of the community as an inspiring
centre of Shakespeare performance, education and understanding.
Celebrating its 27th season in 2016, Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival is one of Canada’s
largest not-for-profit, professional Shakespeare festivals. Taking place in a magnificent waterfront
setting in Vanier Park, Bard stages four plays and special events in two modern performance tents
every summer. The 2016 season runs from June 3 to September 24, opening with Romeo and Juliet
on the BMO Mainstage, directed by Kim Collier (Hamlet, 2013). Playing in repertory with Romeo and
Juliet is The Merry Wives of Windsor, directed by Johnna Wright; the production is back after a
sold-out 2012 Bard run and re-imagined for the larger BMO Mainstage. On the Howard Family Stage,
veteran Bard actor Bob Frazer will direct Othello, which will alternate with Pericles, directed by
Lois Anderson, another long-time Bard Company member.
Bard employs a team of exceptional actors, directors, designers and technicians each season,
along with year-round administrative staff and teaching artists; it is also supported by more than
250 volunteers. Bard’s season attendance reached a record-breaking 100,000 in 2014 and more
than 1.4 million patrons have enjoyed the Bard experience since 1990.
ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
The Vancouver International Wine
Festival, Canada’s premier food &
wine event, has three mandates: to
provide an informative, educational
and entertaining wine experience
for public and trade; to be a premier
marketing opportunity for the wine
industry and festival partners; and
to raise funds for the Bard on the
Beach Theatre Society.
VanWineFest grew from humble
roots as a fundraising initiative for
the former Vancouver Playhouse
Theatre Company, dreamed up by
the late John E. Levine. The
inaugural festival in 1979 featured
one vintner – Robert Mondavi – and
saw approximately 1,000 people
attend the two-day event at Hycroft
mansion. By 1982, the festival
attracted 45 California wineries,
becoming known as the California
Wine Festival. The ninth festival in
1987 was the first multi-national
event, with wineries from seven
countries showcasing their wines
and the next year, VanWineFest
moved to the Vancouver Convention
Centre, where the International
Festival Tastings have been held
ever since.
In 1996, VanWineFest began shining
the spotlight on specific wine
regions or countries each year, with
the French wine region Bordeaux as
the inaugural theme. This year, the
theme country is Italy, with 60
Italian wineries participating.
Today VanWineFest attracts some
of the biggest industry names from
around the world and is firmly
established as the continent’s
premier wine event and among the
biggest, best and oldest wine events
in the world. It features wine
tastings and pairings, wine dinners
and
luncheons,
educational
seminars and culinary competitions.
This is a rare opportunity to meet
owners, winemakers and senior
representatives from wineries
around the globe.

Bard’s education programs include the popular Young Shakespeareans Workshops for youth,
offered at the site and during the off-season. There are workshops for students and teachers during
the school term, professional development sessions for theatre artists, and new programs for all
ages at the BMO Theatre Centre, Bard’s new administrative home, and in the community.
Bard is extremely proud and honoured to be the Vancouver International Wine Festival’s charitable
recipient. The partnership helps Bard maintain its signature high artistic standards and educational
programs while also keeping its programming affordable for hundreds of thousands of local
residents and city visitors.

Vancouver International Wine Festival 2016
Though the region cultivates many
varieties, Tuscany is dominated by
Sangiovese. It is the main grape
in Chianti DOCG, Chianti Classico
DOCG, Carmignano DOCG and Vino
Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG.
In the appellations of Brunello di
Montalcino DOCG and Rosso di
Montalcino DOC, Sangiovese is
the only grape permitted. Tuscany
has also embraced international
varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot and Syrah that are often
blended with native varieties in a
bevy of wines most famously in the
so-called ‘Super Tuscans’.
Umbria
Grechetto is an important white
here and allied with other resident
cohorts in the production of Orvieto
DOC. As for reds, Sangiovese grows
in abundance but it is Sagrantino di
Montefalco DOCG that is the jewel
in Umbria’s crown.
Vancouver International Wine Festival 2016
Valle d’Aosta
Umbria
Tuscany
The Veneto region is a large
source of Pinot Grigio. Beyond
this, local specialties include Glera
used to make the ever popular
sparkling wines of Prosecco
DOC and Prosecco Conegliano
Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG.
The ancient and indigenous
Garganega is the white grape
behind Soave DOC while Trebbiano
di Lugana dominates the Lugana
DOC. As for reds, Corvina plays
the starring role in a number of
blends like Bardolino DOC and
Valpolicella DOC. Made from
partially dried grapes, the rich but
dry Amarone della Valpolicella
DOCG is one of Italy’s icons with its
sweet counterpart being Recioto
della Valpolicella DOCG.
