Vancouver International Wine Festival announces 2018 dates

Did somebody say wine?

The 40th annual Vancouver International Wine Festival is returning in 2018, and if you’re even slightly into sipping from the vine, you’re going to want to be there.

This year, it’s all about Spanish and Portuguese wines, and with 58 wineries from these regions combined in attendance, the Iberian Peninsula is going to get the spotlight it deserves at this world-class event.
