The Okanagan’s LaStella Winery and South Surrey’s Tap Restaurant both mark their 10th anniversaries this year. In celebration of the milestone, they’ll team up for a memorable four-course dinner paired with La Stella wines on Thursday, June 30th.
Tap is a natural choice for the dinner, as its owner and Executive Chef, Alistair Veen, is himself a celebrated wine expert and the restaurant’s Wine Director. In 2016 Veen was named Best Sommelier of BC by CAPS-BC (the Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers, BC Chapter) at the Vancouver International Wine Festival. He will join Rasoul Salehi, LaStella Managing Partner and Director of Sales and Marketing, in speaking on the wines and pairing of food courses at the event.
The celebratory evening will start with cocktails and canapés as guests arrive. The menu for the four-course dinner that follows will be paired with premium LaStella Winery wines, some of which are exclusive library wines.

About LaStella Winery: Created to capture the vision of la dolce vita – paying homage to the Italian ways – LaStella boldly stepped into the spotlight in 2006. Just as a symphony has its tempo, so do the musically inspired LaStella wines: Leggiero, Vivace, Allegretto, Fortissimo, and Maestoso. Situated by Osoyoos Lake in the South Okanagan Valley, at the northernmost tip of the Sonoran desert, LaStella’s commitment to winemaking excellence is its driving force. Low input viticulture and non-interventionist winemaking philosophy is what has led to their rise and sought-after following. Their award-winning wines are available nationwide and internationally at select culinary hot spots, gastronomical institutions and fine wine merchants. A symphony for the senses.
