Which cocktail reigns supreme: the Old Fashioned or the Manhattan? This question is sure to ignite a spirited debate. Both are classic whiskey-based cocktails, often garnished with a cherry, but they each have their own distinct fan bases. On one side, there are the passionate advocates of the sugar-kissed Old Fashioned, while on the other, the cool defenders of the vermouth-infused Manhattan stand firm. This seminar is a head-to-head showdown between these two iconic cocktails.
Spirits educator Keith Nicholson, from Statera Academy, will guide you through the rich histories of these legendary drinks before diving into a discussion on their recipes, components, and mixing methods. Participants will have the opportunity to sample a selection of ryes and bourbons individually, followed by hands-on experience creating mini versions of both cocktails. By the end of the seminar, we’ll put it to the test and see which cocktail emerges as the victor!

Chef Quang (pronounced ‘Wang’) Dang began his culinary career at Joe Fortes Seafood and Chophouse and further apprenticed at the Metropolitan Hotel before moving to West Restaurant, where he worked as junior sous chef. West won the Vancouver magazine ‘Restaurant of the Year’ in 2004 and 2005 during his tenure. After three years at the renowned seafood-centric C restaurant, where he worked with Chef Rob Clark, O.C., Quang became executive chef at the Metropolitan Hotel’s Diva Restaurant. He returned to West as executive chef for seven years, was executive chef at Whistler’s Araxi Restaurant, then became corporate executive chef for their parent company, Top Table Group. More recently, he has been executive chef at D.I.C.E.D., a culinary social enterprise organization. 
Early in his career, Quang quickly established himself as an advocate of sustainability and a champion of West Coast cuisine, a role that he continues to undertake in defining his approach to modern cookery. 
Quang went on to compete in a number of international food competitions such as the Bocuse D’Or in Lyon, France; the National Chaîne des Rôtisseurs in Winnipeg; and as a Canadian representative at the European Seafood Exposition in Brussels, the largest of its kind. “Every day brings a new adventure,” he says, “defined by the seasons and the extraordinary ingredients available to us in the Pacific Northwest. It is my privilege to have worked alongside the finest culinary and service brigades in Canada.”

Mother Nature v. Okanagan Wineries: A Climate Conundrum Package Ticket

Chef Quang (pronounced ‘Wang’) Dang began his culinary career at Joe Fortes Seafood and Chophouse and further apprenticed at the Metropolitan Hotel before moving to West Restaurant, where he worked as junior sous chef. West won the Vancouver magazine ‘Restaurant of the Year’ in 2004 and 2005 during his tenure. After three years at the renowned seafood-centric C restaurant, where he worked with Chef Rob Clark, O.C., Quang became executive chef at the Metropolitan Hotel’s Diva Restaurant. He returned to West as executive chef for seven years, was executive chef at Whistler’s Araxi Restaurant, then became corporate executive chef for their parent company, Top Table Group. More recently, he has been executive chef at D.I.C.E.D., a culinary social enterprise organization. 
Early in his career, Quang quickly established himself as an advocate of sustainability and a champion of West Coast cuisine, a role that he continues to undertake in defining his approach to modern cookery. 
Quang went on to compete in a number of international food competitions such as the Bocuse D’Or in Lyon, France; the National Chaîne des Rôtisseurs in Winnipeg; and as a Canadian representative at the European Seafood Exposition in Brussels, the largest of its kind. “Every day brings a new adventure,” he says, “defined by the seasons and the extraordinary ingredients available to us in the Pacific Northwest. It is my privilege to have worked alongside the finest culinary and service brigades in Canada.”

Culinary Stage: Executive Chef Quang Dang Mountain Brunch

The challenges and reality that Okanagan wineries face will be compassionately presented to the audience. Strategies and options to navigate challenges due to global climate change as they pertain globally to the vineyards, winemaking, tourism and marketing will be discussed.  Consumers will learn what to expect from the industry based on the choices wineries make. 
Who are the speakers? 
Jeff and Decoa Harder are cofounders of Ex Nihilo Winery in the Okanagan Valley. For 20 years they farmed 100 acres annually from Vernon to Oliver, building a robust business and wealth of knowledge about the Okanagan Valley’s growing environment.
 
What makes them experts? 
In addition to their literal hands-on experience running a winery and managing various vineyards, they have also produced wines from Canadian and US growers on behalf of the Rolling Stones (the band), and have been responsible with international distribution. The couple now own and operates ‘Groupe One Consulting’, offering business operations and marketing management services to the wine industry.
 
Why does this conversation matter? In January 2024, the Okanagan Valley experienced a catastrophic, unseasonably cold event that wreaked havoc on vineyards and challenged the livelihood of an entire industry. The estimated loss of grape and wine is projected to be as high as 99% and revenue losses in the $340 million range. This is the second year in a row that BC wine grape growers have had extensive losses due to unseasonably cold events, having lost 58% of their crops in 2023.
 
So what? BC crops – not only vineyards, but food growers and the agriculture sector in its entirety – are feeling the strain from climate change. Significant temperature swings, drought, atmospheric river events, and the impacts of monocrops on our soil health are challenging our growers. The Harders are going to compassionately explore strategies for growers and tips for consumers as we all navigate (and adapt to) mother nature’s impact on our crops.
 
This event is presented in partnership with the Whistler Institute.

Young and innovative chef, Austin Cunningham (Fergie's Cafe, Squamish) is partnered with the ancient winemaking techniques of Besso Gotsadze (La Fabrique St-George, Vancouver) in this exciting four course natural wine luncheon.Join in the celebration of new and old relationships and the community that is forged through food and wine as we savor four courses brought to you by chef Austin Cunningham. Besso Gotsadze will bring his passion and expertise of ancient winemaking techniques as he pairs each course with his locally produced, natural Georgian wines. Jason Dabbagh, Austin's former culinary instructor and mentor, will accompany his former student in the kitchen helping to deliver food, context, and story in this relational and inspiring luncheon.
Jason Dabbagh (BEd, RSE) grew up in a home where food was not just a means of nourishing bodies, but also a means of nourishing relationships and community. Hospitality was paramount.
Jason extended this philosophy into his teaching practice: a culinary high school teacher since 2011, Jason continues to lead with the tenants of hospitality, community, service, and compassion. He also believes that building confidence in people through food education will promote better eating habits and dramatically improve quality of life. He is most proud of the creation of a program that empowers students as owners/operators of a small food business and especially proud of the young successful cooks that have emerged from it.
"I’m the chef at Fergie’s Cafe in Squamish, where I bring my passion for fresh, local ingredients and thoughtful cooking to every dish. My journey started in high school when my mentor, Jason Dabbagh, and I formed a culinary team with several other students. His guidance and belief in me sparked my love for the craft, and those early experiences of teamwork and creativity in the kitchen solidified my path. Jason’s influence has shaped who I am as a chef, driving me to constantly improve and embrace new challenges. After refining my skills in places like Canmore, I’ve come to realize that nature and mental health are deeply intertwined with my approach to cooking. I strive to create meals that nourish both body and mind, reflecting the beauty of the environment and the importance of well-being." - Austin Cunningham

Drink Seminar: Legacy to Luxe: Journey Through the World of Premium Japanese Sake

Over 650 years ago, Dante was exiled from his home in Tuscany and sought refuge in the idyllic hills behind Verona. Where did he settle? In none other than one of Italy's great vineyards, a favorite of the Roman Emperor Augustus over 1,000 years earlier: Vaio Armaron. More than 20 generations later, Dante's family still resides on the Serego Alighieri estate and continues to produce traditional Veronese wines in partnership with Masi, including the renowned Vaio Armaron Single Vineyard Amarone, celebrated for its richness, complexity, and ability to age.
