The News:

March 3, 2015 (Vancouver): Naramata’s Serendipity Winery is proud to again support #dinnerpartyYVR with a bottle of versatile and food-friendly Serendipity wine for each of the more than 50 dinners at this increasingly popular city-wide charity event, with dinner parties happening simultaneously in Calgary, Toronto and Montreal.

Click here to see the various Vancouver locations and buy tickets, which are moving fast. Many dinners are already sold out.

On Saturday March 28, #dinnerpartyYVR will connect Vancouverites from across the city for special home cooked meals prepared by hobby chefs at their own houses. 100 per cent of each guest’s $40 donation is gifted back to the benefit of local charities chosen by the respective hosts.

After the meal, diners, hobby chefs and all involved charities will gather for the much-anticipated after party. The sold-out event in 2014 raised more than $10,000 for local charities.

“We are very excited to be a part of this event in a city filled with food and wine lovers” says Judy Kingston, owner of Serendipity Winery and a qualified chef in her own right. “It is a great way for us to give back to the community, especially through our wines which will be paired with so many delicious meals,” she continues.

A selection of Serendipity wines will also be available at a cash bar at the after party.

Sign up for a meal by Wednesday, March 4 for a chance to be invited to the Cressey Dinner Party with Clement Chan, Top Chef Season 3 Contestant and 12 year-old Liam Lewis, the event’s youngest hobby chef on March 28.

About Serendipity Winery:

Nestled among the rolling hills of the picturesque Naramata Beach, a visit to Serendipity is all about discovery, surprise and warmth. Owner Judy Kingston and second-in-command Katie O’ Kell welcome every visitor with a smile and a glass, always pleased to share their passion and education with their guests. The winery was founded in the fall of 2005, when Kingston found and purchased an old orchard in Naramata after a holiday wine tour of the Okanagan.
Beginning in the spring of 2006, the property was completely re-landscaped to provide the optimum slope and orientation for the new vineyard. Kingston selected ideal wine varietals for planting to match the micro-climate and four distinct soil types on the property, eventually planted to Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Malbec, Viognier and Sauvignon Blanc.
From the first harvest in 2009, the wine remains of exceptional quality and since then, the winery continues to delight, surprise, and capture accolades across the country and
internationally.
