Come and join us for the Galiano Wine Festival– just for the health of it!
It’s a fun event for a worthwhile cause – to raise the money needed to keep the Galiano Island Health Care Centre up-to-date and serving the community. The event is a pleasant 20-minute walk from the ferry and the Village, to the Community Lions Park.
Informal and fun, the wine festival is an open-air event that is a wonderful way to spend a summer afternoon. And at $30 a ticket, it is great value! The price of entrance includes unlimited tasting, a crested Riedel crystal wine glass, fresh-made finger food, and entertainment. Galiano’s own Brad Prevedoros will be providing more beautiful and airy guitar music again this year. There’s room to move around, no long waits for the wines you want to taste, plenty of time to talk with the wine merchants and wine makers.
