“With the scheduled closure of Forage in the fall, weāre very happy we can hold one last Distillers Dinner at this iconic local restaurant,” added Hamer. āForage has always been such a committed supporter of BCās food and beverage producers, so we see this as a perfect send-off.”
BC Distilled is also hosting two whisky tastings with acclaimed author and Canadian whisky expert Davin de Kergommeaux at Taste of Legacy during the fest.
