It’s a fun event for a worthwhile cause – to raise the money needed to keep the Galiano Island Health Care Centre up to date and serving the community. The event is a pleasant 20 minute walk from the ferry and the Village, to the Community Lions Park.
=0D=0A=Informal and joyful, the wine and beer festival is an open-air event that is a wonderful way to spend a summer afternoon. And at $45 a ticket, it is great value! The price of entrance includes unlimited tasting, a crested wine glass & a beer glass (yes, two glasses included this year!), fresh-made finger food, and entertainment. We also have Galiano artists exhibiting and selling their original work. There’s room to move around, no long waits for the wines and beers/ales you want to taste, plenty of time to talk with the wine merchants, wine makers and beer makers as well as hanging out with your old and new friends.
=0D=0A=All the wines offered for sampling are affordable, including many wonderful British Columbia boutique wines found at Vintages Wine Shop in the Galiano Oceanfton Inn & Spa, The Corner Store (just 3 km from the Village) or the Galiano Garage, near the ferry terminal. Beers is sold at the Corner Store and the Galiano Garage.
=0D=0A=For the second year our 2017 liquor license will allow for a pop-up store onsite so that patrons can purchase product(s) as they leave the festival site. Consider planning ahead to serve a quality wine, beer or cider with your friends at home. Always in moderation of course.
=0D=0A=Brand new! We will be running a shuttle bus between the ferry and the festival site.
=0D=0A=Bus will meet scheduled ferries. Just walk off the ferry and up the road to the bus.
