Indulge your taste buds in everything from international and Vancouver Island wines and cheeses to exotic teas, gourmet cuisine, Mediterranean olives, succulent oysters, chocolate, biodynamic wines and more during this weekend of delightful indulgence.

This weekend will showcase a selection of local Vancouver Island wines from two wineries whose reputations are growing in leaps and bounds.

Stefen Soltysiak, director of education for Rodney Strong Vineyards, will lead guests through a Biodynamic Wine seminar and discussion on growing. Rodney Strong Vineyards has been recognized as Sonoma County's first carbon neutral winery; their efforts are well reflected in their approach to sustainable farming practices, solar power and green business practices. Stefen will also host a five-course gourmet dinner paired with the best of Californian and international wines. As a Certified Wine Educator, Stefen shares practical and theoretical knowledge of wines discovered through decades of experience in the industry.
