On Saturday, September 19, the second annual A Matter of Taste event takes place at the Victoria Golf Club – a benefit for the Greater Victoria Housing Society (GVHS). The event features tastings of fine scotch, cognac, wines and other libations, a variety of high-end cigars, plus exquisite chocolates from around the world, complemented by sumptuous food pairings and hors d’oeuvres. A silent auction of luxury-inspired items rounds out the evening.

A Matter of Taste was first held in September 2014 and was wonderfully received. “We were pretty sure we had a concept for an event that was slightly different from other fundraising events in town”, says Scott Garman, GVHS Board member and organizer for A Matter of Taste. “In the first year, we started out with a whisky-and-cigar tasting event. This year, we decided to broaden the tastings to include fine wines, local ciders and premium beer, and have experts on hand who can talk about the different products. We’re taking the whole tasting idea and making it attractive to as many people as possible."

All proceeds from A Matter of Taste benefit the Greater Victoria Housing Society – a non-profit, charitable organization, founded in 1956, dedicated to providing quality, affordable housing to low-income seniors, families, and people with disabilities, in neighbourhoods across Greater Victoria.
