Whistler Search and Rescue Society (WSAR) will hold their eighteenth annual gourmet dinner and auction, "Wine'd Up", on Saturday, October 14th, 2017.
Attendees at this popular event will enjoy an evening of outstanding cuisine prepared by five of Whistler's renowned chefs. The five-course dinner will be paired with wines from California including selections from Wente Vineyards. The evening is generously supported by the winery and the United States Consulate and will help fund the critically important work of Whistler's Search and Rescue organization.
"Wine'd Up is the single largest source of revenue for our very busy volunteer team," says Brad Sills, President of WSAR. "Wine'd Up" is the only local event that raises needed funds to support our team of volunteers who donate their time and skills to assist in search and rescue functions in the greater Whistler area. Each year, our search and rescue missions help save many lives throughout the seasons. Whistler Search & Rescue, a non-profit organization, is an invaluable resource to the RCMP, the community and the people and visitors it serves."
Cuisine from these five chefs will be paired with the following premium wines:
• Steve Bjormark, Executive Events Chef, Whistler Blackcomb/Vail Resorts
Wente Vineyards Estate Grown 'Louis Mel' 2016 Sauvignon Blanc
