Hester Creek Winery and Wild Rice are combining to bring you their award-winning South Okanagan wine and modern Chinese cuisine to New Westminster’s River Market at the The Hester Creek Winemaker’s Dinner at Wild Rice takes on September 18th.

Hester Creek Estate Winery Day in New Westminster: May 2012 Day in New Westminster: May 2012

Hester Creek Winemaker Rob Summers and General Manager Mark Sheridan have been working with Chefs Todd Bright and Caroline Levy who have created a mouth-watering four-course dinner that marries local ingredients with Asian flavours and classic techniques. The menu so far looks irresistible:

Salmon Tartar with Wonton Crisps paired with Hester Creek Chardonnay 2012. Duck Confit Spring Rolls paired with Character Red 2012. Beef Bourguignon paired with Pairing: Reserve Block 3 Cabernet Franc 2010.

The Late Harvest Pinot Blanc 2012 will be paired with dessert. Tickets are just $60 and this includes all four courses, the wine pairings and gratuity. The dinner will take place at 6:30pm on Wednesday, September 18, 2013. To make your reservation, call Wild Rice at (778) 397-0028 or email lisa (at) wildricebc (dot) ca.

    I live in New West and have been meaning to try Wild Rice forever! I also love Hester Creek wines ever since I went to their winery last summer in Osoyoos. Had the Character Red in their restaurant with my lunch, followed by some tastings. Totally recommend Osoyoos as a weekend getaway. We have some great wineries in BC – we are so lucky.
