Winter’s most flavour-forward defrost fest is back! The perfect wrap-up to March Break.

Join us at the Yarmouth International Airport on Saturday, March 21, 2026 for an elevated evening designed for grown-up tastebuds and great company. YAS! Wine Not? is where exceptional wines, craft spirits, ciders, cocktails, mocktails and gourmet small bites come together in one unforgettable tasting experience. Think of it as the perfect late-winter “defrost” — a night to sip, sample, savour, and discover new favourites in a warm, vibrant atmosphere.
