Perfect Pairings: Discover the Wines of Georgian Bay with Robert Ketchin

Join us at the event for a special wine tasting experience with Robert Ketchin, a pioneer in Georgian Bay’s emerging wine industry and co-founder of Georgian Hills Vineyards. With over 50 years of experience in the wine and beverage industry, Robert brings a wealth of knowledge, passion, and expertise to the table. His vision for establishing a thriving cool-climate wine region in South Georgian Bay has helped put local wines on the map. Discover the distinctive flavours and characteristics of wines shaped by our region’s unique landscape and climate as Robert shares his insights, stories, and passion for exceptional Ontario wines. As Robert likes to say, “Tasting is Believing!”

Embrace the evening’s theme by dressing to impress with the Gallery’s curatorial team awarding prizes for the wildest. Think bright colours, animal prints, or any fun, flashy, or generally fabulous attire.
