Wine Tasting with a Social Twist: Contest
Tinhorn Creek Vineyards presents Wine Tasting with a Social Twist May 26th at the CBC Audience Lounge.
The event will consist of a staggered wine tasting — think timed speed-dating but with wines. Each participant will have five minutes at each tasting station to swirl, sip, and sample. When the bell sounds, they move along.
The catch is that the labels will be covered, only to be revealed at the end of the circuit by winemaker Sandra Oldfield. She will also go through the nuances of each varietal once everyone has completed their tastings. If you play along and make some correct guesses while you go through the blind tastings, you could also win some prizes, courtesy of Tinhorn Creek.
Canapés will be provided and everyone will leave with a souvenir Riedel wine glass. Tickets are available online for $20 each and I have two pairs to give away.
Here’s how to enter to win a pair of tickets for the wine tasting:
The event takes place from 6:00pm to 9:00pm at the CBC Audience Lounge (CBC Broadcast Centre 700 Hamilton Street).
Update I have just drawn Marilou as the winner, as well as Mariska. Congratulations and have fun at the tasting!
Fine print: Ticket value is $20 so each prize is worth $40. Two winners (who may each bring a guest) will be draw Thursday May 20th at 9:00am.

This sounds like a great event! And what a way to connect with other people. Who doesn’t like wine and good conversation!?
Wine, conversation and a souvenir wine glass! I’m in for sure.

Speed-dating, but with wine? Yes please!

I did all three – hopefully I win! I love wine and being social 🙂
Great idea! Sounds like something a little more interesting than just your average wine tasting.
Speed dating without the endlessly desperate and overly-anxious expectations? Yes please.
Good times. Wine tasting always brings back good memories of days spent in Sonoma Valley.
Would love to go!

I love the Oldfield Series Merlot from Tinhorn! I would love to go to this event.
Great idea! I’d love to check it out.
Tinhorn is a great BC winery, so this should make for a fun evening!
1) My husband’s birthday is just one day before this event
2) He loves Riedel glassware
3) we BOTH love wine
(Does that count as three entries?) 🙂
Oh sounds awesome!

Oh! Sounds like fun!
Love Tinhorn wines and the winery is super cute
I like Tinhorn Creek, and this tasting would be much easier to get to than cycling up the hill to the winery!
Shared your post on Facebook.
Count me in! Capone’s did a similar event a year ago (or was it two? There was a lot of wine) and I found my new favorite Sauv Blanc there. It IS like speed dating.
Did someone say wine!? Sounds like a fun night.
A friend with wine, is a friend indeed – I’ll take your hand and let you lead- to a place where there’s wine, and laughter all the time. Fun, fun,,,i’m in – sing me up!!! =)
I’m no wine connoisseur but I sure do enjoy it!!!
I really enjoyed this past Wine Festival so I’m sure I’d enjoy this!
