The wildly popular California Wine Fair will be at the Westin Hotel in Ottawa for the 30th straight year the evening of April 20, 2010 from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. It’s always a complete sell-out and you must purchase tickets in advance since there are no tickets sold at the door!
Each year dozens of wineries are present, many with winemakers and winery principals attending, and a wide selection of wines are available for tasting. The price of a ticket $60.00 gains you entry and access to all wines plus a selection of light appetizers.
All members of the National Capital Sommelier Guild are eligible for a $5.00 discount. Make note of your association with the Guild when you register and pay $55.00 to purchase your ticket!
To avoid disappointment, call the California Wine Fair hotline at 1-800-558-2675, check their website www.calwine.ca or email

The National Capital Sommelier Guild strongly supports moderate and responsible consumption of wine and spirits. Guild dinner events allow a designated driver to attend at a reduced price. The designated driver will not be served alcohol. Guild tasting events provide and encourage the use of spit buckets.
