We’re now into 2014 and that means it’s time for another incredible Twenty Valley Winter Winefest. You can look forward to cooking demos, amazing live entertainment, delicious food and delectable icewine!

Back this year is the multi-talented star of Food Network Canada’s “Chuck’s Week Off”, Chef Chuck Hughes. His unbridled passion for entertaining translates into both unforgettable food and captivating television. Chuck loves food.  So much so his favourites are tattooed on his arms: bacon, lemon meringue pie, lobster and arugula just to name a few.

New this year is Chef Danny Smiles. He was declared first runner up on season 3 of Food Network Canada’s Top Chef Canada after battling it out over 13 episodes against 16 chefs from across Canada.  Danny is currently chef de cuisine at Le Bremner, in old Montreal.

There are also some exciting free evening concerts on the agenda! You can look forward to Treble Charger and illScarlett on January 11th and Hollerado and PUP on January 12th. Following illScarlett, there will be a Steam Whistle After Party. It will be held in the barrel cellars of Cave Spring Cellars and will feature Steam Whistle, Dillon’s Small Batch Distillers and Cave Spring Wines. Live music will spice up the night and amazing appetizers will be available.
