The wine festival may not be until March, but if you're religious about red and worship white, there's an oenological event you must snag tickets to now.
A runaway hit at the Okanagan Wine Festival every year, the Blasted Church Midnight Service comes to Vancouver's vino week for the very first time. Not your average mingler, the evening brings to life the label's irreverent name by having guests commune at Christ Church Cathedral for soul food from Memphis Blues Barbeque House and soulful music from the Gospel Experience Choir (who are just as apt to belt out “You Can't Always Get What You Want” as they are a classic hymn).
That and sipping on Chardonnay Musqué all night sounds like heaven to us.
Blasted Church Midnight Service ($89), 10 p.m.-12:45 p.m., Saturday, March 28, 2009 at Christ Church Cathedral, 690 Burrard St., Vancouver, 604-873-3311, tickets can also be purchased online here.
