Education
Test your palate and wine IQ at
this early evening event on Josie's Deck at the Hilton Garden

what makes each one special through the different viticultural
and vinification techniques used to produce them. Hors d'oeuvres
selected to complement the wines will be served to demonstrate
the influence of food-wine pairing. Pre-registration is required

Saskatchewan's best agricultural products with classic prairie
hospitality. Wine to complement the meal will be provided at
