Guess the Expensive Wine 
Kick off the summer with one of our favourite and most popular events! Enjoy a fun night as we explore a range of wines and get you to guess which is the most expensive.  Discover how wines of different values compare, if you can tell the difference in price and if the most expensive wine truly delivers the best experience!

European River Tour 
Rivers have been integral to the wine trade in the Old World, not just for irrigation but also for providing slopes and moderating the climates around them. Tonight, let the Prairie Lily show you our beautiful Saskatoon from the banks of the South Saskatchewan while our sommeliers take you on tour of the finest wines Europe has to offer.
