WEST (Wine Education Series of Tastings) Presents:

Slow Food and the Art of Eating- A Wine & Food Pairing

with Joy Road Catering

Thursday, April 3, 2008

7:00 PM**

 

Discover the pleasures of local, seasonal ingredients paired with 
specially selected BC VQA wines during Slow Food and the Art of Eating, 
the first seminar in the spring series of WEST (Wine Education Series of 
Tastings) at the BC Wine Museum & VQA Wine Shop located inside the 
Laurel Packinghouse, 1304 Ellis Street. Chefs Dana Ewart and Cameron 
Smith of Joy Road Catering in Penticton will prepare a sample of dishes 
to complement wines that have been chosen by your WEST host, Julianna 
Hayes. Tickets for this event are $30 for Kelowna Museums members and 
$35 for non-members. Seating is limited; please call 868-0441 to reserve 
your spot now.

 

Fresh and seasonal are the key elements to the slow food movement which 
emphasizes local agriculture and sustainability. "Since our early days 
selling baking at the local farmer's market, Joy Road Catering has 
primarily used local ingredients for the simple reason that fresh tastes 
better," says Ewart, "And while socially-responsible food sourcing 
allows our customers to enjoy the local bounty at the height of 
ripeness, it also sustains the farmers and artisans who represent the 
agricultural heritage of the Okanagan."

 

WEST is a wine education program designed to unveil the perception of 
wine in an interactive, casual environment while combining the natural 
elements of food and wine. The next WEST event will be the Spring Wine 
Fest Warm-up on May 1, followed by Pass the Winemaker on June 5. For 
tickets and information please call 868-0441.

 

The BC Wine Museum & VQA Wine Shop is a facility of the Kelowna Museums 
Society, a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to a greater 
awareness of the agricultural, wine-producing, military, and cultural 
heritages of the Okanagan. The BC Wine Museum is located at 1304 Ellis 
Street, at the corner of Ellis and Cawston in Kelowna's Cultural 
District. Open Monday-Friday 10am-6pm, Saturday 10am-5pm, and Sunday 
11am-5pm. Admission is by donation. For more information please visit
