Quince Takes Food & Wine Pairing Class to West Vancouver

Last night Chef Andrea treated West Vancouver residents to a sensational Introduction to Food & Wine Pairing Class through West Vancouver School District's Community Education Program at West Vancouver Secondary School.

Although the lighting and ambiance in the high school's Home Ec kitchen wasn't quite up to the usual Quince hip aesthetic standards, Chef Andrea was able to draw her very attentive students into the refined yet indulgent wine and culinary world she masters. If you look over the menu below, you'll understand why.
