The Canadian Association of Professionals Sommeliers (CAPS) is pleased to announce it will be hosting its national sommelier competition October 17-19 in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Of the announcement, CAPS National President Lesley Brown says “it’s been a difficult past couple of years, because of the pandemic. With vaccinations rates ever increasing in Canada, CAPS is thrilled to announce our best sommeliers will be coming together for a spirited competition in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia.” CAPS Best Sommelier of Canada contest brings together competitors from each of its five regional chapters (Atlantic Canada, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia).
