Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Some experiences in life are magical.

We are creating an event in the wine country of Vancouver Island that will transport you to another place and time,
The idea started over a meal. What if we could create an experience that fused the worlds of exceptional music, food and beverages. We had the skills of a renown pianist, composer and producer – Misha Piatigorsky (www.misha.nyc) and the culinary talents of two renowned chefs Bill Jones (www.deerholme.com) and Peter Zambri (www.zambris.ca).
The goal was to create an event that celebrated the creativity and pleasure of life, music that matched a program of food and beverages. An elegant evening and an exceptional experience that would create memories and pleasure for a lifetime.

To create such an evening, we knew we needed to create an atmosphere of elegance and comfort, in an area surrounded by natural beauty like vineyard and open country air. We partnered with Blue Grouse vineyard in their stunning new winery building. We took inspiration from the concept of a long table celebration, where people could sit in communal settings and eat to their hearts content from family style platters of the finest local meats, seafood and vegetables. We would harness the power of cooking over fire to create foods that are memorable and packed with exciting and fresh flavours. The evening will also be used to showcase the brilliant wines of the property. Award winning bottles that reflect the terroir of the Pacific Northwest.
