When I was on vacation last month, I experienced the ultimate vino experience at the Salt Tasting Room in Vancouver, BC (Canada). This chic, non-descript tasting room was nestled in a back alley of the Gastown District. Although, there wasn’t anything “back alley” about this amazing wine experience.

I realized I need to trust the wine experts when she threw out the word “rose” (yes, I cringed). However, I was very impressed by the flight of wine that our served perfectly paired with my gourmet cheeses, meats and condiments that I chose. I told my friends that I could die a happy woman after my Salt Tasting Room experience. I was surprised that my favorite wine was a local British Columbia rose called Vie. It tasted like a non-fizzy dry French champagne. It was incredible. My tastebuds were also tantalized with a delicious Australian Pinot Noir and Shiraz. My red wine palate was definitely in vino heaven.

If you ever get the chance to visit Vancouver, BC, add The Salt Tasting Room to your itinerary. It’s an amazing wine experience and for $15 the flights of wine are more than just “samples.” The wait staff definitely know their food and wine pairings
