Robert Burns Supper

Join us as we celebrate the life and poetry of Scotland’s beloved bard, Robert Burns, while also supporting a worthy cause.

We are very excited to announce the 2025 Robert Burns Supper will be in a new location: The Hotel Indigo on the Vancouver Waterfront, with food service provided by El Gaucho.

The evening will be filled with the rich cultural heritage of Scotland, including a sumptuous feast featuring traditional Scottish dishes (yes, there will be Haggis), captivating bagpipe music, and heartfelt toasts in the spirit of Robert Burns.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy an unforgettable night of great food, camaraderie, and making a difference in the lives of future culinary and viticulture professionals. Purchase your tickets today and help us raise a glass to both the past and the future.
