The Vancouver International Wine Festival 2026 will soon be upon us; March 7 – 14, 2026. I checked today for the status of the events to see which events still have tickets and which are sold out. As you may have guessed ALL winery dinners are already sold out. But don’t fret as there are tickets for many seminars, wine minglers, and the International Festival Tasting Room (which is always a big draw), plus the fabulous, Bacchanalia 2026 Gala Dinner & Auction.
This year, France is the theme country, so there will be a wide selection of French wines at the International Festival Tasting Room.
I’ve posted a snap shot of the itinerary as it stands on Feb. 18, 2026, showing event availability, plus this link to the web page where you can select an event to purchase your tickets.
I will be attending some seminars and minglers, and may see you there if you attend as well. I will be at the A Tour de France in Your Glass seminar on Thursday, Beaujolais: Dig into Diversity seminar on Friday, the Passport to Global Wines seminar on Friday, and the Taste of France at LaSalle mingler on Saturday afternoon. I love attending seminars as there is always something new to learn as a winery principal is there to talk about their wine.
I will also be attending the International Festival Tasting room several times. If you see me there, please stop me and ask which winery tables I recommend for them to try. I love passing along my favourites of the Festival.
Also remember, that by purchasing tickets for these events you are also helping to support Bard on the Beach.
See you all soon! Cheers.
