Gourmets gather in Whistler, British Columbia
From November 8 to 12, 2007, visitors to Whistler, British Columbia,
will get an adrenaline rush off the slopes as the village's
cobblestone streets are alive with epicureans on hand for Cornucopia.
While the eleventh Whistler Food and Wine Celebration provides a
showcase for the talents and trade secrets of leading chefs and
winemakers, the event has also become a Mecca for culinary adventurers
who want to sample the region's gourmet food and fine wine.
More than 75 internationally recognized wineries from around the
globe are on this year's schedule, which features celebrity
chefs such as Rob Belcham and Julian Bond. A House Party, featuring
the food of Memphis Blues Barbecue House, kicks off the mouth-watering
sessions and the Crush events join more than 15 local restaurants
with Cornucopia's participating wineries to provide two nights
of gourmet grazing. Check the links below for more information on
the tastings, wine-makers' dinners and informative panels
and this year's Cornucopia in Whistler.

Cornupcopia is Whistler's annual food and wine event that is attracting attention
from across the country. The website provides a complete "menu" of the Cornucopia
weekend — tastings, themes, celebrity chefs and winemakers — plus all the
logistical support you need to plan a trip. Whistler itself is beautiful enough,
but throw in great food, wine and a celebration with the experts in the field and
you've got a whole new excuse to get away.
