Eventions, in partnership with BSL Bank, has launched the 8th edition of Vinifest. As the First Lebanese wine festival, this event has become a tradition well anchored in the customs of Lebanese people.
A first
Vinifest is a dynamic festival always looking for new innovative ideas. Its goal is to emphasize the international dimension of the event. To that effect, we are welcoming Decanter Magazine, one of the leading wine magazines. This is a first in the history of the festival, and will put forward Lebanese wines which can boast on the international stage and be included with all the good wines worldwide. The visit of 3 personalities (Mesdames Sarah Kemp, Christelle Guibert & Pauline Dubreuil), will shine the light on Lebanese wines and encourage professionals and wine lovers alike to carry out interesting exchanges during the festival.
«Wine and tasting» will be the theme of the event which will focus on aromas, flavors and the taste of wine.
Program
The program at Vinifest offers a rich calendar of activities.
Blind tasting, tasting competition, cooking shows, etc... Finally, and more than the wine, music will make heads spin, as this year, we will be spoiled with amazing bands, the night club «Al Mandaloun» being our entertainment sponsor.
Bring out your jeans and jackets, because you will live intense moments with the magic of Vinifest.
