SUMMARY:Taste of Place Summit
DESCRIPTION:The Taste of Place Summit\, launched in 2023\, is a national gathering designed by the Culinary Tourism Alliance to unite invested stakeholders from across the culinary and agritourism value chain. The Summit responds to a clear need: a dedicated space for industry leaders\, practitioners\, and partners to explore how food and drink can powerfully shape the identity\, resilience\, and economic vitality of destinations. Each year\, the Summit is hosted in a different region of Canada\, spotlighting the country’s diverse tastes while connecting attendees with emerging industry talent and innovative ideas. \nTaste of Place Summit\nJune 15 to June 16\, 2026\nWestin Edmonton | 10135 100 St NW\, Edmonton\, AB T5J 1P7 \nThis important gathering brings together the people who shape the visitor experience\, from destination developers and tourism managers to marketers\, business owners\, and students. They come to learn why and how to place their community’s food and drink culture at the forefront of their destination strategies. By focusing on food as a catalyst for meaningful travel experiences\, the Summit helps strengthen local economies\, elevate place identity\, and foster sustainable tourism development. \nThroughout the event\, thought leaders\, innovators\, and practitioners share their expertise through dynamic presentations\, immersive experiences\, and collaborative dialogue. Delegates from across Canada and around the world gain valuable insights\, exchange best practices\, and draw inspiration to elevate culinary and agritourism offerings in their own regions. Summit attendees are united by a shared purpose: to equip destinations and businesses with the tools they need to create exceptional\, enduring experiences that delight visitors while also benefiting local communities and the people who call them home. \nLEARN MORE

SUMMARY:Wine Museum of Canada Initiative Info Session
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an information session introducing the Wine Museum of Canada initiative\, sharing the current thinking on the project\, and opening up a conversation with growers\, vintners\, and regional stakeholders. \nHospitality: Light fare and refreshments will be provided. Cash bar available.\nPlease RSVP by: June 22\, 2026\nRSVP to: Krysta Boyer\, kboyer@winemuseumofcanada.com\n289.925.7435 \nCanada’s wine story has matured and our wines are being recognised nationally and internationally. Each of our wine regions has a narrative reflecting their craft\, land\, climate\, and culture that together make up a national legacy. The Wine Museum of Canada is a proposed national cultural initiative being developed to help tell that story. \nEnvisioned as more than a museum\, the project is a convergence of wine heritage\, education\, tourism\, hospitality\, sustainability\, events\, and industry partnerships. Its purpose is to celebrate more than 150 years of Canadian wine while exploring issues of regional identity\, sustainable viticulture\, and Canada’s place on the global wine stage. \nCanada does not currently have a wine museum. Not because the story lacks value\, but because we haven’t had a consolidated voice to\nchampion it. Wineries\, growers\, associations\, educators\, and tourism partners are already focused on the complex daily demands of their\nspecific organisations. When you are busy growing grapes to transform into world-class wine\, there is little time left to pursue a national initiative of this scale. \nThe non profit entity the “Wine Museum of Canada” recognises this challenge. The project is currently in its research and development phase. Our focus is on consultation\, planning\, and partnership building\, rather than fundraising. We are seeking letters of support\, strategic introductions\, advice and sector insight\, from those who understand the importance of Canadian wine culture. Your perspective can help shape a national cultural asset before it is fully defined
