The festival of food and drink will host 600 attendees from the Fraser Valley area and showcase 55 wine and beer purveyors sampling more than 275 different products.

The brainchild of local beverage industry professionals, the festival will host international and local wines, craft and premium beer as well as local cheese makers and chocolatiers.

The trade portion of the event is for hospitality and food and beverage industry only and not open to the general public.

The consumer event follows at 7 p.m., with ticket registration available online to anyone 19 and older.

The Cork & Keg team will be working with local liquor distributors and partners to ensure that festival favourites  will be available for sale to consumers after the event.
