Retracing Seaforth Military History Through French Wine, Cuisine, and the Great War

Announcing

Explore the rich history of a time when the Seaforth Highlanders of Canada distinguished themselves in the trenches of France.

This evening intertwines their storied military campaigns with the heritage of French wine regions. We pay tribute to the Seaforths’ legacy while celebrating the timeless connection between French wine, food and the landscapes shaped by history.
