THE 42 nd VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL WINE FESTIVAL
F E B R U A R Y 2 2 - M A R C H 1 , 2 0 2 0
THE WINE WORLD IS HERE
1,450 wines * 16 countries * 162 wineries * 57 events * 8 days * 25,000 attendees
Welcome to the 2020 Vancouver International Wine Festival, Canada’s premier wine show. The Tasting Room is the heart of the festival, where all 162 wineries gather together in one room to showcase their wines. Here are some tips to make the most of your tasting session:
• 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 16 countries (including the South Africa tasting station).
• Try something new – you could find your next go-to wine.
• Make notes, take a picture, give the wine a star. You’ll want to remember what you liked later!
• Look for the blue lanyards – those are top winery personalities here to share their wines and stories with you.
• Share the space – step away from the table once you’ve had your taste and asked your questions.
• Use the spit buckets – you don’t have to finish every sample. 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 free of charge to your local store.
• Don’t drink and drive – pick up a complimentary transit ticket at the Get Home Safe Booth in the liquor store.

ABOUT THE FESTIVALThe Vancouver International Wine Festival, Canada’s premier food and 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, which has been the charitable beneficiary since the 2013 festival.
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, the Shaughnessy mansion owned by Vancouver’s University
Women’s Club. By its fourth year, the festival had grown to attract 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. In 1988, VanWineFest moved to the Vancouver Convention Centre, where the main International Festival Tastings have been held ever since.
In 1996, VanWineFest began shining the spotlight on specific wine regions or countries by featuring a new area each year, with the French wine region Bordeaux as the inaugural theme. This year, the theme country is France, with 42 wineries represented in the Tasting Room.
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, gourmet dinners and luncheons, educational seminars and culinary competitions, wine parties and a charity wine auction and gala dinner.
This is a rare opportunity to meet owners, winemakers and senior representatives from wineries around the globe. For either the experienced wine lover or the novice, the festival has something to please every palate and pocketbook.
The Vancouver International Wine Festival is graciously co-hosted by the embassies, high commissions and consulates of the participating countries:
Consulate General of ArgentinaAustralian ConsulateConsulate General of ChileEmbassy of the Republic of CroatiaConsulate General of FranceConsulate General of the Federal Republic of Germany
Consulate General of ItalyConsulate General of JapanNew Zealand Consulate GeneralConsulate General of PortugalSouth African High CommissionU.S. Consulate General Consulate of Uruguay
The main fundraising event for Bard on the Beach is the annual Bacchanalia Gala Dinner + Auction, presented by Tesoro by Concert, one of the most spectacular wine and food events in the city – an evening of incredible wine, inventive food pairings, and unparalleled opportunities to enhance your wine cellar.
The Bacchanalia Gala kicked off with a champagne reception at 6 p.m., and featured nine additional outstanding wines paired with an exquisite five-course menu prepared by the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver’s culinary team. All of this is topped off with live music and dancing. And if that’s not enough, live and silent auctions throughout the evening feature extremely rare wines, epicurean getaways and unique culinary experiences featuring chefs and sommeliers from the West Coast’s top restaurants. A must for any serious wine collector!

A pioneer on the Golden Mile Bench, our vineyard
was first planted with classic varietals in 1968. Blending
traditional, sustainable viticulture practices and
innovative winemaking with a state of the art cellar, we
craft wines of distinction that are an intensely flavoured
expression of our 50 year old vineyard.

Vive la France!Take a tasting journey across France, exploring wines
from Beaujolais, Bordeaux, Bourgogne, Loire, Rhône, and Provence. Located under the Eiffel Tower in the theme country section of the Tasting Room, your six-region tour will give your palate a primer on some of France’s top terroirs.
Discover Emilia-Romagna’s Indigenous GrapesOne of Italy’s greatest assets is its wealth of unique indigenous varieties, and Emilia-Romagna is no exception. Discover Emilia’s Lambrusco family of grapes, Romagna’s Sangiovese and Albana, as well as Malvasia di Candia and Uva Longanesi, while enjoying samples of Emilia-Romagna’s rich culinary specialties.
Germany: The Coolest Wines on Earth Wines of Germany invites you to try the
coolest wines in the world. As the largest producer of Riesling and the third largest producer of Pinot Noir we invite you to taste the quality, versatility and food-matching capabilities of German wines. Discover cool wines, cool styles and cool flavours. Discover Wines of Germany.
New Zealand: Pure Discovery – The Past, the Present, and the Future Discover where the New Zealand
wine industry began, where it is now, and where it’s going in the future through wines that tell the story of the last 200 years. Explore Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough and Hawkes Bay, as well as varieties that are emerging to make their mark such as Pinot Noir, Grüner Veltliner, Pinot Gris and rosé.
Discover White Wines of South AfricaThe wines from South Africa
are considered by many to rival wines from some of the world’s best wine growing regions. This year’s offering will showcase wines meant to convince you! South African winemakers are producing distinctive Chenin, Chardonnay and Methode Cap Classique (champagne-method sparkling), that uniquely reflect the soil and climatic conditions where they’re grown. Come and taste through the line up to discover why international critics are so smitten with South African wines.
#RoséAllDayThis year, we’ve put the focus on rosé, painting
the Tasting Room pink. There are more than 80 examples of rosé – still and sparkling – in the room, but stop by the #RoséAllDay booth to sample a selection from around the world. As a style, rosé is food friendly and flexible, can be sparkling, light, dry, full-bodied or fruity. We’re sure you’ll agree that not only should you drink rosé all day, but rosé all year!
Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers (CAPS)Members of the BC Chapter of CAPS will be at the Vive la France! and #RoseAllDay tasting stations to help guide you through the different wines, as well as award-winning sommeliers from across Canada and around the world.

WITH ZACH FINKELSTEIN, GUEST TENOR SOLOIST AND PACIFIC BAROQUE ORCHESTRA
ST. JOHN PASSION
The longevity and success of Bach’s passions are based on their
deep grasp of humanity. The range of emotions and the
psychological acuity of Bach make the story arresting time after
time. The St. John Passion is the more dramatic and concise of
the two Bach passions, which are an important part of the
cultural inheritance of mankind. While Bach’s works are easy to
find in recordings, the intensity of this music needs to be
experienced in concert.

60 I Vancouver International Wine Festival 2020
Welcome to theWine Regions of France
ALSACEAlsace’s location on the border with Germany, between the Rhine River and the Vosges Mountains, has not only infl uenced its troubled history, but also its wine production. Unlike other French regions, Alsace includes the grape variety on its wine labels, most notably its dry Rieslings and aromatic Gewürztraminers, bottled in long-necked fl ûtes.
Main varieties: Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Pinot Gris, Auxerrois Blanc, Pinot Noir, Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc
BEAUJOLAISCaught between Bourgogne and Rhône, Beaujolais has its own characteristic wines, the vast majority of which is made from the Gamay grape, which thrives in Beaujolais’s granite-based soil. Famous for November’s Beaujolais Nouveau release, the region is now focusing on Cru wines from ten named villages that express exceptional Gamays.
Main variety: Gamay
BORDEAUXPerhaps the world’s most famous wine region, Bordeaux is home to sought-after, terroir-driven wines. Bordeaux wines are typically blends: the classic red Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, and the white Bordeaux blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, sometimes with a bit of Muscadelle.
Main varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, Muscadelle
BOURGOGNEBourgogne has more appellations d’origine contrôlée than any other French region, and is most famous for its dry red wines made from Pinot Noir and crisp white wines made from Chardonnay, especially those from Chablis. Terroir is crucial in Bourgogne, with 400 different types of soil stamping distinct characteristics on single vineyards.
Main varieties: Pinot Noir, Chardonnay
CHAMPAGNEHome of the wine world’s most prestigious bubbles, Champagne is both the region and the wine. Only wines made from grapes grown in the 75,000 acres of Champagne vineyards and produced in the méthode traditionnelle, where the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, can legally be called Champagne. Most French regions, however, produce their own sparklers, made in the traditional method and labeled as Crémant.
Main varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier
LANGUEDOC-ROUSSILLONWith 700,000 acres under vine, Languedoc-Roussillon is the most prolifi c wine-producing region in the world, with 10% of the world’s wine coming from the Midi. Since the 1970s, winemakers in the region have been matching quality with quantity, through progressive and innovative winemaking techniques.
Main varieties: Carignan, Grenache, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Syrah, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
When it comes to French wine, place is everything. The concept of terroir, the deep relationship between a site’s natural environment and its wine, reaches its fullest expression in France. A single vineyard can have parcels of land best suited to different grapes, each one creating its own characteristic wine. This year, the festival welcomes 42 wineries pouring wines from 10 French wine regions, each one ready to share their wines’ distinct sense of place with you.

LOIREWhite wine reigns supreme in the Loire Valley, particularly the Sauvignon Blanc of Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire (Pouilly-Fumé) of the Upper Loire. Central Loire produces exceptional Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc, while the Atlantic infl uenced wines of the Pays Nantais are made solely from Melon de Bourgogne.
Main varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Melon de Bourgogne
PROVENCEIt’s rosé all day in Provence, where the pink wines of Côtes de Provence are as popular as the beaches of the Côte d’Azur. Though the great majority of the wine bottled in Provence is rosé, the production of spicy, full-fl avoured red wines, particularly in Coteaux d’Aix-en Provence, is becoming more prominent.
Main varieties: Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Tibouren
RHÔNEDivided by geography, climate, and winemaking philosophy into north and south, Rhône might not be as famous a wine region as Bordeaux or Bourgogne, but it produces spectacular wines. Syrah is the star of Northern Rhône, while the most famous Southern Rhône wine is Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a blend of up to 18 different grape varieties.
Main varieties: Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Marsanne, Roussanne, Viognier
SOUTH WEST FRANCEThe Sud-Ouest is actually made up of several smaller wine districts, most notably Bergerac, Monbarzillac, and Cahors. Cahors, which was devastated by the phylloxera epidemic in the late 19th century, is known for Malbec (known locally as Cot or Auxerrois), offering some of the fi nest expressions of the grape in the world.
Main varieties: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Tannat, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon

Discover French AppellationsAs you look through the list of French wines in the Tasting Room, planning your journey through the various regions, you’ll notice that other than a few exceptions (most notably wines from Alsace), you won’t see the grape variety in the name or on the wine label.
Instead, you’re likely to see the name of the region, the appellation, or the estate of the wine’s origin. When it comes to French wine, the character of the wine you are tasting is defined by the place, by the terroir, where it was produced.
An appellation is a legally defined and protected geographical area used to identify where the grapes for a wine were grown. In France, the appellation d’origine protégée (AOP) system (previously known as appellation d'origine contrôlée – AOC) regulates wines based on the area the grapes are grown in, varieties used, ripeness, alcoholic strength, vineyard yields, and the methods used in growing the grapes and making the wine.
There are more than 350 appellations recognized across France, some as small as a single vineyard. Some of the most well-known appellations, many of which you’ll be able to find examples of in the Tasting Room, are listed by region below:
Not all French wine has AOC status, of course, and you’ll find excellent wines designated as IGP (Indication Géographique Protégé) or Vins sans IG (wines without geographic indication).
But as you taste your way France, be sure to ask the winery principals, identified by their royal blue lanyard, to tell you more about the terroir and unique sense of place that defines their wine.

A Message From The Consul General
Every French citizen is passionate about wine. I am no exception coming from Alsace, so it is a great pleasure for me to see France honoured at this year’s VIWF. And it is also a great pride since it is our heritage that is being celebrated. But heritage and savoir-faire should not simply be showcased. They should be savoured and shared. France has more than 10,000 tourist-oriented wine cellars that welcome visitors. They also offer hikes, visits, concerts and wine-tasting courses. That is why I am so pleased that some of the best ones, selected from our 17 different wine-growing regions, will be here for you to discover. I invite everyone to come and join us during these events, in full conviviality and respect for our planet and its resources, two important aspects of French culture. Santé to the red, white, and…rosé! Cheers!
Le vin est une passion pour beaucoup de Français. En tant qu’Alsacien, je partage bien sûr ce fort intérêt. C’est donc avec un grand plaisir que j’ai appris que la France était à l’honneur de cette édition 2020 du VIWF. Notre patrimoine et notre savoir-faire ne seront pas seulement exposés à cette occasion. Ils seront là pour être dégustés et partagés ! Il y a plus de 10 000 caves ouvertes au public en France qui diversifient leur offre en proposant également des randonnées, des visites, des concerts, ou encore des stages d’œnologie. Je suis très heureux que de nombreux vignobles, au cœur de nos 17 régions viticoles, vous feront découvrir leurs meilleurs crus. Je vous invite à vous joindre à nous pour profiter de ces évènements, dans la plus grande convivialité et dans le respect de notre planète et de ses ressources, deux aspects très importants de notre culture française. Alors, santé aux vins français et à vous tous !
