Exploring Greek terroir in the heart of Vancouver

Join us in Vancouver on a lovely summer evening to explore the diversity that Greek gastronomy has to offer from its wondrous land, sea, & soil.

Kir Yianni prides itself on producing wines that appeal to the taste of the modern consumer reflecting the potential of the Greek vineyard and of its indigenous varieties, such as the noble red Xinomavro.⁠
