2026 WINERY APPLICATIONS
Thank you for your interest in the Vancouver International Wine Festival.
Applications for the 2026 festival will open on May 15, and close on June 15, 2025.
The 47th annual festival will take place from March 7 to 15, 2026 and will feature France as the theme country.
VanWineFest is a curated festival. Winery applications must be submitted by a registered and active BC wine agent on behalf of suppliers they represent in the BC market. All applications will be reviewed by a knowledgeable Winery Selection Committee.
Each winery selected to participate will showcase products at each of the six sessions in the International Festival Tasting Room. Two afternoon sessions are dedicated to members of the trade including buyers, retailers and chefs. The three evening sessions expose the public to the outstanding wineries and wines featured at the festival, and a Saturday afternoon tasting is open to the public and trade. Participating wineries have the additional opportunity to showcase their products in a range of events over the week – including winery dinners, lunches, and seminars, as well as a comprehensive trade program.
