And so we "meat" again: the Vancouver Cheese and Meat Festival will return for 2022 with an event they hope will be un-brie-lievable for charcuterie fans this fall.
Taking place Saturday, Nov. 5 in North Vancouver at the historic Pipe Shop, the popular fest that celebrates all things meaty and cheesy will feature an array of artisan vendors and their wares for ticket-holders to enjoy.
While a participating list of cheese and meat vendors - as well as folks who make all the goodies to go on or with your charcuterie board, like honey, chocolate and alcohol - has not been confirmed for 2022, past participants include well-known businesses. Last year the fest welcomed Two Rivers Meats, Bon Macaron, Arc Imports, Habibi's, Eve's Crackers, Sheringham Distillery, and Truffle Pig Chocolate, to name a few.
"Our goal is to introduce guests to new products and exciting pairings that excite their taste buds. The key is that guests can journey to the Festival as a one-stop shop to taste various products produced locally," said founder David Bain in 2021.
Here's how the festival works, according to organizers: With your Tasting Tickets, VIP Ticket, or Super Pass, you will get entry into the beautiful venue. Upon entry, you will be handed a charcuterie board to take home and a wine glass. From there you can walk around the venue sampling from our amazing artisan food and beverage vendors. No extra fees! Each vendor is there to guide you through their creations while suggesting pairing ideas with vendors around them.
Passes start at $95.75 and are available to purchase online for each of the three tasting sessions starting July 14.
