Guided Wine Tasting with Kevin Schwenker

Celebrate the season! Sip, savour, and support the arts! Come join us for Holiday Favourites, a guided wine tasting, FUNdraiser with wine aficionado Kevin Schwenker, hosted by Live Art Dance.

There will be eight crowd-pleasing bottles perfect for holiday gatherings, from nibbles to light dishes (or just a cozy chat with friends who drop by!).

We’ll kick off with an elegant Franciacorta sparkler, then explore three whites: an easy-drinking Chardonnay, a zesty Sauvignon Blanc blend, and one more surprise pour. For reds, a best-selling Rioja Crianza, a vibrant Garnacha blend from Empordà, a savory Chianti, and one more pick that will sing with appetizers.

Designed for beginners and seasoned sippers alike, this session walks you through a pro tasting approach—appearance, nose, palate, finish—plus smart pairing ideas. Discover your own preferences, build confidence, and leave ready to pour like a host with the most.

Taste impeccable wines paired beautifully with delicious hors d’oeuvres. Grab your tickets today and come raise a glass with us on Sunday, November 23, from 3-5PM at the Derby Lounge, side entrance of the Marquee Ballroom, 2037 Gottingen Street. Cheers to a delightful afternoon, fundraising for Live Art Dance!

A special thanks to our Sponsors, Bishop Cellar and the Seahorse Tavern, for making this event possible!
