On May 8, the BC Hospitality Foundation hosted DISH (Drink. Indulge. Savour. Help) – a fundraising event featuring wine samples, bites from top local restaurants, a cocktail competition, a silent auction, and more.
Guests at DISH enjoyed bites from 14 Vancouver-area restaurants and samples from over 25 wineries from California, Washington, Oregon, and New Mexico.
Proceeds from the fundraiser support the work of the BCHF, which provides assistance for hospitality workers in financial crisis due to extraordinary medical circumstances, as well as operating a scholarship program to foster the next generation of hospitality industry leaders.
I attended the event as media. Here are a few photo highlights from the evening.
