What is Vine & Dine?
Calgary's favourite pairing club since 2005!
VINE & DINE* is now in its 18th year of hosting educational, fun, sociable and delicious pairing dinners.
We visit many restaurants each month to try new foods and learn about the wines that complement the dishes of different cuisines.
Tables for two, four, six and more are available for you to be seated just with the people you booked with.
Wine experts tell you about the samples they are pouring for you – where it comes from, which grapes they are made from, the stories of the people who made it, and more. Where possible, Chef will tell you about the cuisine, the traditions, and ingredients used too.

A typical Vine & Dine evening
When everyone is seated at the place of their choice, our gatherings begin at 6:30 pm with introductions to your host and the restaurant.
Our first dish will arrive and we pour you a sample* of the wine we suggest to complement it. A wine expert will tell you the stories behind the wine you are drinking and then let you eat, drink and chat to your neighbours. They will also come to each table to answer any questions you may have.
We usually sample six different food portions from across the restaurant's menu (always including dessert!) with six different wines from their wine list, over the evening. Menus for you to take away are provided for you to write your comments and thoughts, as well as one of our lovely Culinaire cork pens and of course, there's a copy of the current Culinaire magazine for everyone too!
At the end of the evening we often celebrate any birthdays or special occasions among our guests!
* Samples of wine poured are 2 ounces. Vine & Dine encourages responsible drinking.
