Cicerone vs Sommelier

Join us for the ultimate food pairing challenge with two of Vancouver's top talents! Beer expert and certified Cicerone Don Farion (BierCraft) and BC Restaurant Hall of Fame Sommelier Sebastian Le Goff (Cactus Club) go head to head in a competition to answer the burning question: “What pairs better with food – beer or wine?” Doolins Irish Pub Executive Chef Nick Gonzales (formerly of the 2 Michelin starred St. Endoc Hotel in Rock, Cornwall, UK) has created a special four course tasting menu just for this event, each course paired with a beer and a wine, and judged by none other than you! No matter the outcome, be the champion beer or wine, one thing is for certain – the guests are the sure winners at this event!
