Make a difference in Haiti with wine and food

January 18, 2010

A local restaurant and a BC winery have both come up with a way for you to help the relief effort in Haiti while enjoying the best that BC has to offer. We should all remember how lucky we are to live here and have these options available to us.

On Sunday, January 31, CRU Restaurant will host a fundraising four-course, wine-paired dinner. Staff are volunteering thier time and 100% of the profits will be donated to relief efforts in Haiti. It starts at 6:30 and costs a $100 donation. There will also be a silent auction.

Quinta Ferreira Estate Winery has also announced that it will donate 10% of all their wine sales from January 15 to February 15 to the Haiti disaster relief effort. This includes wine sales from private liquor stores, VQA stores, restaurants and direct from the winery. Obra-Prima, a big, black cherry red is an especially delicious offering from Quinta Ferreira.

In Vancouver, it’s available at Village VQA Wines, among other outlets. Its wines are also availabe for sale online.
