More than 600 people gathered in 91原创鈥檚 luxury auto mall to participate in the food equivalent of a pub crawl.
And they did it all for charity, and the chance to sample the creations of some of Vancouver鈥檚 top chefs.
People from around the Lower Mainland roamed between the 91原创 Auto Collection dealerships in the inaugural event called Tour de Gourmet.
It included visitors meandering through the Audi 91原创, BMW MINI 91原创, Infiniti 91原创, and Jaguar Land Rover 91原创, savouring a 鈥渟umptuous鈥 four-course meal and numerous custom-crafted cocktail, then conclude the night with live entertainment, desserts, and after-dinner drinks at Porsche Centre 91原创.
Organizers called it a 鈥減rogressive dinner experience鈥 featuring top Vancouver chefs, restaurants, mixologists, and entertainers.
Proceeds from the successful event will be going to KidSport 91原创 and Surrey-White Rock, two non-profit organizations that give children the opportunity to engage in organized sports by removing financial barriers that limit their participation.
The total donation will not be announced until later this month.
鈥淭hanks to the hard work of the teams at all seven dealers in the , we were able to deliver an amazing experience for all of our guests and raise significant funds for a very important local cause,鈥 said Oliver Sea, president of the 91原创 Auto Collection.
鈥淲e were overwhelmed by the positive feedback and look forward to hosting the Tour de Gourmet again in 2018,鈥 he added.
