On February 4th, Montreal joins the North-American Tour of the Slow Wine Guide 2015. The event will provide the participants the opportunity to meet 35 Italian wine producers, private importation agencies and local wine makers and to taste their products. This event marks the first ever Canadian stop of this tour.
The event, organized in close collaboration with Slow Food Montreal, will be held on February 4th at Marché Bonsecours in Montreal. The event will be open to the general public from 6 PM to 9 PM. Tickets are on sale online for Slow Food members at a cost of $50.
Slow Wine, a guide to over 400 of Italy’s best wineries, critiques wine through the perspective of the Slow Food philosophy, believing that wine, just as with food, must be good, clean and fair – not just good. In its 4th English edition, it gives prominence to small-scale winemakers who are using traditional techniques, working with respect for the environment and terroir, and safeguarding the incredible biodiversity of grape varieties that are part of Italy’s heritage. Slow Wine is the only Italian wine guide that visits all of the winemakers included in the guide, in their vineyards.
