Against a backdrop of breathtaking winter scenery, two brand new standout food-and-drink must-do's are showcasing regional flavours and paired Canadian wines.
From an intimate Chef’s Table Experience that includes five-course gourmet menus and carefully paired wines at top Jasper restaurants, to the vibrant Après Wine event that whisks guests between four of the town’s favourite dining spots for guided wine tastings and indulgent bites, these exclusive events a true feast for the senses.
