Last week I attended the Canmore Business & Tourism: Canmore Uncorked Media Launch here in Calgary at The Cookbook Co. Cooks store. This is the second year of an event that appears to have become a very popular & anticipated food festival that begins on April 7, 2015, and continues for 13 days. Here you will find special set-priced menus from 25 restaurants, incredible culinary events, cooking courses, and a long table dinner.
Canmore is roughly an hour’s drive from downtown Calgary and a favourite mountain destination we frequent as a family. There’s all kinds of fun events to attend in both winter and summertime plus several easy to challenging hikes into the mountains. Last year my husband and I attended a Wine Tasting Event in Canmore during the first ever Canmore Uncorked. Since we don’t have family support here in Calgary it’s very hard for us to get away without the kids. But somehow we managed one night (the first time ever) and took in the Wine Tasting evening.
PB & J Pork Belly from Murrietas Canmore for #CanmoreUncorked
The media launch showcased two restaurants out of several participating in Canmore Uncorked. Murrietas and Sage Bistro are both located in Canmore. They served up three delicious bites starting with a PB & J Pork Belly from Murrietas in Canmore. The peanut butter and jam (and an apple slaw) worked so well with pork belly. Our second bite was from Sage Bistro and was a Squash and Pine Nut Risotto Ball. Simply delicious. We finished with a collaboration between Sage Bistro & Murrietas Canmore. A light and flavourful Profiterole filled with a Chambord and Foie Gras Mousse. Definitely as good as it sounds.

Canmore has so many great restaurants and this event is a great way to try many of them. Canmore Uncorked has officially started and much to my surprise there are still a few events you can still pick up tickets for: The Culinary Symphony and The Big Brunch. Head out to Canmore and take in some of the events going on during this fabulous week of food and wine also known, Canmore Uncorked.
