The Muse at Culinaire Victoria

 It was a sold out crowd on Thursday March 22nd at the Crystal Garden at The Victoria Conference Centre in Victoria, BC for the 3rd annual Culinaire show.  Culinaire has become a showcase venue for fine local restaurants & pubs, as well as micro breweries, cideries and a local winery we feel is pretty special too! Oh, and some Okanagan wineries as well.

It sold out almost a month beforehand, so you might want to mark your calendar for next year or follow their Tweets at twitter.com/CulinaireVic or check out their website at http://www.culinairevictoria.com/ 

Thanks for inviting us Scott!
