Yay! Winefest! 

Last year, I gave away a pair of tickets to Winefest Edmonton, but sadly, a charity event meant that I was unable to go myself. This year, I have been lucky enough to be invited back to the industry and trade tasting, and I also have a pair of tickets to give away to one lucky winner for the Saturday afternoon session. 

Think an afternoon of swirling and sipping would be right up your alley? Well, its super simple... just leave me a comment on this post with the name of your favourite wine... or any other tipple, really, and you're in it to win it! Best of all, the ticket is all-inclusive and gives you entry + unlimited wine sampling + tasty nibbles from 2 - 5 PM... what better way to spend a Saturday afternoon, that too on Valentine's weekend?

I will do a random draw on Wednesday, 13th February at 6 PM, and will notify the winner via the email that they provide, so please make sure you put a valid email in when commenting. Also, if you are entering as Anonymous, please add your name to the bottom of your comment. Please check the notes on the giveaway at the bottom of the post before entering. 

And... salut! 

'Winefest Edmonton is back to spoil your senses. This all-inclusive event allows the opportunity to 'try before you buy' within a casually refined atmosphere - every sip and sample is included in the ticket price. At Winefest, wine experts are available to share their knowledge as consumers taste their way from booth to booth, providing tasting notes while educating the palate and senses. Stop by the on-site Liquor Depot store to purchase your favourite finds to enjoy at home. Savour a delicious selection of hors d'oeuvres in a relaxed, yet fun atmosphere. Also included in ticket prices is a Tasting Notebook and complimentary wine glass.
