Last week, Water Street Cafe in Gastown partnered with Hillside Winery for the latest installment of their ongoing winemaker dinner series.
The evening was hosted by the team at Hillside Winery, paired with Water Street’s own Chef Alan Tse’s latest wine dinner menu. Each dish was crafted to pair perfectly with each Hillside wine selection.
I attended the event as media. Here’s a look the our 5-course wine pairing menu.
