ICCBC introduces the "Scuola del Vino" - The first Italian Wine School in Vancouver

The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Canada West, in collaboration with wine professional Tyler Dawson and in partnership with Sciué Italian Bakery Café, is proud to launch the first wine school in Vancouver, exclusively focused on Italian wine

Italian wine has never been more relevant. Italy boasts a glorious past, and stands out as a dominant global wine producing region, yet the future promises great excitement with the discovery, re-introduction and ongoing use of Ancient varietals that no other country can lay claim to. Join us and delight in the discovery!

Scuola del Vino has been established to celebrate and advance the appreciation for Italian wine – past, present and future – through a range of wine courses meant for passionate consumers and trade professionals.

Our approach to learning is experiential! We emphasize tasting a diverse range of wines, guided by wine professional Tyler Dawson, who provides his unique on-the-ground perspectives within historical, cultural and cuisine contexts. And what better place to learn about and to appreciate Italian wines than Sciué Italian Bakery Café, where students can indulge in a vast selection of exceptional artisan Italian foods and experience the true and unique characteristics and ambiance of modern Italian urban hospitality culture.
