Vancouver International Wine Festival to return this spring

Canada’s premier food and wine festival, the Vancouver International Wine Festival, is officially returning in 2023.

This year, the highly anticipated event will take place from April 22 to 30, 2023, and it will showcase 152 wineries from 17 countries featured at 36 events over eight days.

Attendees can expect to see thousands of wines poured at all the events over the festival’s eight-day run.

The 44th run of the event will take place at the Vancouver Convention Centre, and other festival happenings will take place in restaurants and venues around the city.

For 2023, the festival will feature South America as the theme region. There will also be a global spotlight on sparkling wine.

“In addition to the four countries and 44 wineries from South America, we have a strong contingent travelling from Europe,” says Mark Taylor, co-chair of the VIWF Winery Selection Committee.

“Italy leads the way with 26 wineries, but France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Portugal, and Spain are also well represented. The New World is out in force, with Canada and the US combining for 48 wineries in attendance, and returning favourites travelling from Australia, New Zealand, and Japan. In total, there will be more than 800 wines in the Tasting Room to discover, marking a return to pre-pandemic numbers.
