This year’s program features the highest number of participating wineries ever (over 80 wineries from 12 different countries). It also features five days of spectacular food and wine events (over 70 in all) which consumers can enjoy on a somewhat a la carte basis, selecting from any number of different events on different days.
Santé 2006 welcomes back many of the Festival’s favorite events, including the Ultimate Winemaker’s Dinner - a wonderful and rare opportunity to indulge in a grand dinner prepared by five of Canada’s celebrity chefs and paired with ten wines that have been awarded the Santé 2006 Award of Excellence.
This year’s dinner will also include a Silent Auction (featuring a wide array of coveted offerings). Proceeds from the auction will benefit The Mike Weir Foundation, a charity established by the 2003 Masters’ Champion to advance the physical, emotional and educational welfare of Canadian children.
International Wine Tasting
Eighty-two international wineries (and the winemakers) whose passions turn grapes into tempting vintages will be the featured attractions during this year’s International Wine Tasting.
