Another successful year of the Rocky Mountain Wine and Food Festival took place May 13-14 2011 at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel in Banff.
Majestic mountains provided the backdrop for the two day festival which brought together wine purveyors, restaurants, breweries and spirits retailers. A jovial crowd enjoyed sampling food, wine, desserts, cheese, music and much more.
CSL loved the variety of products and the friendly, informative purveyors who gave impressive insights into their products. From a winery with a past as a brothel, to a microbrewery dedicated to a range of sodas and beers to the continued success of a favourite chocolatier the festival was a wonderful time.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Calgary Rocky Mountain Wine & Food Festival in Fall 2011.
