EDITOR-IN-CHIEF | Publisher's M essage

This edition of Folio.YVR Luxury Lifestyle

M agazine is a true celebration of artistry,

elegance, and the finer things in life. As I reflect

on the stories gathered, I am inspired by the

remarkable individuals, extraordinary creations,

and unique experiences that define a life well

lived. Each feature offers a glimpse into our

unique West Coast lifestyle, where 'slow

everything' is appreciated.

I share the journey of Tanya Kim, a Canadian

media icon who has reinvented herself as a

wellness advocate, mindset coach, and

passionate champion of authenticity. Her

transformation is a beautiful reminder of the

power of resilience and self-discovery. Equally

inspiring is pianist Georgy M anterola, who

brings the stunning Fazioli Butterfly piano to

life with a performance that is as captivating as

the instrument itself. And for those who

appreciate timeless craftsmanship, the

Kihl ?Yahda Christian White: M aster Haida

Artist exhibition at the Bill Reid Gallery offers

a profound exploration of Haida culture and

artistry.

From the celestial beauty of Tiffany & Co.?s

Blue Book 20 24: Tiffany Céleste collection, the

thrill of driving the M cLaren 750 S, sporting

Hublot?s Big Bang Unico Carbon Canada, and

if you are dreaming of a breathtaking West

Coast escape, the $33,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 Princess

Louisa Lodge, near BC's Chatterbox Falls,

offered through Faith Wilson (Christie?s

International Real Estate), might just capture

your imagination.

This issue also highlights remarkable talents

like Bobo Zhao, whose award-winning

Beige Weddings photography captures the

essence of love in both local and international

settings. Fine artist Ann Goldberg is another

standout, and I am thrilled to feature her vibrant

' Red Peonies in Chelsea' on our cover. Her

work is bold, lush, and a perfect representation

of the creativity we celebrate in these pages.

A mere 24 hours in Las Vegas unfolded into an

exploration of some of the world?s most

sophisticated cigar lounges. From the chic

elegance of eight Lounge at Resorts World

to the iconic allure of Davidoff of Geneva and

the timeless sophistication of M ontecristo

Cigar Bar at Caesars Palace, each destination

exudes a seamless blend of relaxation and

refinement, offering an experience as indulgent

as it is memorable.

On the topic of indulgence, Stefano Ricci?s

ultra-luxury wine and whisky collections, fittingly

named N ectar of the Gods and Uisge Beatha,

are truly remarkable, as are M ission Hill Family

Estate?s perfect 10 0 -point Oculus 20 20 and

Hayw ire Winery?s Lunar Red Wine, crafted to

honour the Year of the Snake while supporting

the Vancouver Chinatow n Foundation.

I hope you enjoy this issue as much as I have

enjoyed putting it together. These stories reflect

the beauty, passion, and craftsmanship that

elevate everyday life into something

extraordinary. Enjoy the journey.

A

JOURNEY

OF

RESI LI ENCE



011

TA NYA K IM | A JOURNEY OF RESILIENCE

T

KTanya

Kim?s journey has been one of

transformation, courage, and

authenticity.

From her early days as a competitive

dancer to her standout roles in

Canadian media, her story is not just

about professional accolades? it is

about personal growth and

embracing new opportunities.



013


FROM DAN CE TO M EDIA

Born and raised in Sault Ste. M arie,

Ontario, Tanya's first passion was the arts.

She began dancing at the age of four and

soon became a force to be reckoned with

in the competitive dance world, even

earning the title of Petite M iss Dance of

Canada.

Despite her childhood dream of becoming

an " In Living Color" Fly Girl, it was her love

for storytelling that ultimately led her to

broadcast journalism.

After completing her journalism degree at

Toronto M etropolitan University, Tanya

entered the media scene, quickly making a

name for herself as a fresh voice in

entertainment.

Over the years, she co-anchored CTV?s

ETALK and hosted Entertainment City,

where she had the privilege of interviewing

Hollywood's biggest stars (David Bow ie,

Janet Jackson, Rihanna, George Clooney,

Brad Pitt, Beyoncé), covering red carpets

(Academy Aw ards, Grammy Aw ards,

Cannes Film Festival), and reporting on

global events (Kate' s Royal Wedding,

20 10 Olympic Winter Games).

Tanya?s charisma and grace captured the

attention of millions, earning her a place as

one of Canada?s most beloved media

personalities.

A LIFE- ALTERIN G SETBACK

In 20 14, Tanya faced an unexpected and

difficult setback when she was let go from

CTV's Etalk.

Years later in 20 19, she would experience

yet another layoff, this time from

Entertainment City (CityTV).

Although these moments in her career were

deeply painful, they marked a turning point

that redefined her purpose.

Tanya reflects, ?That horrible day back in

20 14 (Etalk) is forever etched in my

memory, but as I write this today, I am

grateful it happened. It forced me to see

that life is full of possibilities and

opportunities if you are open to them.?

This personal and professional shift sparked

a journey tow ard self- discovery and a

renewed passion for wellness and

empowerment.

Tanya?s experiences taught her that true

happiness comes from embracing

vulnerability and taking chances.

Her path moved from the w orld of media

to the w orld of w ellness, where she began

to focus on helping others live their best

lives.


015

THE POWER OF AUTHEN TICITY

As Tanya continued her journey, she

became more committed to empowering

others through self-love and mindfulness.

A mindset and self- love coach, Tanya

inspires individuals to embrace their fullest

potential by practicing kindness toward

themselves and others.

She shares, ?Authenticity is key. Whether

you are in front of a camera or just living

your daily life, being your true self will

help you connect with others and keep

your heart happy.?

Her approach to wellness is holistic,

embracing both the physical and

emotional aspects of health. Tanya

prioritizes movement, whether it is through

Reformer Pilates, boxing classes, or

strength training, but she also knows the

importance of recovery.

?Movement is medicine to me,? she says.

Her love for contrast therapy (alternating

between hot saunas and ice baths) not

only helps her body recover but also

boosts her mental clarity.

A LOVE FOR DOGS

Tanya?s heart extends beyond herself and

her career; it is also deeply committed to

animal welfare. As an advocate for bully

breeds and an Ambassador for the

Ontario Society for the Prevention of

Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA), she uses her

platform to spread awareness about the

importance of compassion toward

animals.

Her Emotional Support Animal,

M iss Frankie, is a cherished companion

who brings joy and comfort to Tanya?s life.

Her commitment to community is reflected

in her volunteer and ambassador work

with organizations like the Centre for

Addiction and M ental Health (CAM H)

and OSPCA, which aim to support people

in need and give dogs a second chance

at a life they deserve, respectively.

WELLN ESS & M IN DFULN ESS

In addition to her work with animals,

Tanya?s journey has been deeply tied to

mental and emotional w ell- being .

M editation is a daily ritual that helps her

stay grounded, and she often seeks solace

in nature with Miss Frankie.

Tanya cherishes her quiet time, whether

she is curled up w ith a book or enjoying a

true- crime documentary. These moments

of peace and self-reflection help her

maintain the balance she so values.

As a coach, Tanya encourages others to

embrace mindfulness practices and

prioritize their health and happiness.

Her approach emphasizes a deep

connection to oneself, both mentally and

physically. Tanya believes that self-care is

about more than just pampering; it is

about fostering a healthy relationship with

your body and mind, one that nurtures

growth and healing.



017

GIVIN G BACK

Tanya?s heart for service extends beyond

her advocacy for animals. She actively

supports various charitable causes,

including the Unite For Change Canada

" Performing Arts In The Spotlight Fund,"

which helps keep the arts thriving, and

Humane Society International Canada, an

organization dedicated to animal

protection. Giving back is a core value for

Tanya, and she continually looks for ways to

make a positive impact in her community.

Her partnerships with brands like Adidas,

M onogram Canada, Samsung Canada,

Dermalogica, and SkinCeuticals reflect

her diverse interests and her influence in

both the wellness and lifestyle industries.

Tanya is not just a media personality; she is

a trusted ambassador for brands that align

with her values of authenticity and wellness.

TAN YA' S VISION

Looking ahead, Tanya is excited about the

future and the endless possibilities that

await. She envisions combining her love for

storytelling and w ellness to create a show

that empowers others to live healthier,

happier lives. Whether through digital

platforms or broadcast TV, Tanya plans to

continue sharing her journey and spreading

positivity.

Another dream of hers is to establish

a w ellness hub? an oasis for the body,

mind, and soul. Tanya imagines a space

where people can come to relax, heal,

and grow.

A beachfront property outside of Canada is

also on her radar, where she and her pup(s)

can enjoy the serenity of nature and live in

harmony with the environment.

As a self-proclaimed romantic, Tanya also

looks forward to meeting someone who

shares her heart-driven approach to life.

?Live in the energy of ' YES!'? because we

are all worthy of the beautiful lives we

dream of creating,? she says.

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

Tanya Kim?s journey is one of resilience,

transformation, and passion. She has

embraced her career, faced challenges

head-on, and used those moments as

catalysts for growth.

Today, she is a wellness advocate, a mindset

coach, and a champion for authenticity.

Through her work and personal life,

Tanya continues to inspire others to live

authentically, love deeply, and say

?YES? to all of life?s possibilities.

In the heart of Vancouver's vibrant arts

scene, Georgy M anterola stands as a

beacon of musical excellence. A dynamic

pianist, composer, and arranger with

over two decades of experience,

Georgy has captivated audiences with

her performances at luxury events,

prestigious venues like BC Place with

Coldplay, and bespoke musical

experiences that redefine elegance.

Her musical journey, intertwined with the

exquisite craftsmanship of the Fazioli

Butterfly Piano, is a testament to the

harmony between art and innovation.

A M ULTIFACETED TALEN T

Georgy?s versatility knows no bounds.

With a repertoire of over 1,20 0 songs,

her performances span classical, pop,

rock, jazz, and soundtracks.

Whether delivering Bridgerton-style

arrangements or crafting custom

compositions for weddings, corporate

galas, and private events, her artistry

transforms every occasion into a

memorable experience.

Her educational foundation, rooted in

the Escuela Superior de M úsica y Danza

de M onterrey and enriched by private

lessons with N atalia Tibets, has been

complemented by master classes

with luminaries like Jesús M olina and

M ichel Dalberto. This robust training

paved the way for collaborations with

the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra,

world-renowned composers like

Joe Hisaishi, and stars such as

Jordan Rudess and Jonah N ilsson

through her work with Pianote at

M usora M edia.



023

THE ORIGIN OF THE BUTTERFLY

The Fazioli Butterfly Piano is a

masterpiece born from a union of art and

engineering. Designed by the renowned

Italian piano maker Paolo Fazioli, this

piano was crafted to be a visual and

auditory marvel. Its distinctive butterfly

shape features two elegantly curved

wings that open, resembling a butterfly

in flight, enhancing the sound projection

and creating a stunning visual impact.

The piano is constructed with the finest

materials, including rare woods and

advanced acoustic components, ensuring

an unparalleled tonal quality.

The Butterfly Piano is not only an

instrument but also a symbol of artistic

innovation, often showcased in

architecturally significant spaces that

highlight its beauty.

THE FAZIOLI CON N ECTION

It was Georgy?s first encounter with the

Fazioli Butterfly Piano that ignited a

profound connection.

?When I moved to Vancouver, a couple of

friends took me downtown, specifically to

the Rogers Tow er, to show me this

stunning piano they had told me about.

We spotted it through the window, and I

couldn?t resist trying to play it. A couple of

weeks later, I eventually did? and it was

an unforgettable experience! It?s my

favourite of all the Fazioli pianos,? she

shared.

Georgy?s appreciation for Fazioli pianos

goes beyond their aesthetic allure.

?Fazioli pianos are often found in

breathtaking, architecturally stunning

spaces, and the environment adds to

their charm. The sound is exquisite, the

keys feel incredible, and the overall

design is absolutely captivating?

it?s an experience like no other. I had the

unique opportunity to be the first to

play the First Light Fazioli, which

features all black keys. It was such

a cool experience! Since I tend to focus

on everything but the keys while I play,

blending in wasn?t a challenge.?

The Butterfly Fazioli, with its unique design

and impeccable sound, holds a special

place in Georgy?s heart.

?When I played the Butterfly Fazioli,

I felt butterflies in my stomach! No,

honestly, the times I?ve played it are

always such incredible experiences?

they make me lose myself in the music,

in the best way possible.?

A PERFECT COLLABORATION

M anuel Bernaschek, owner of

Showcase Pianos, spoke highly of

Georgy?s collaboration with the

Fazioli Butterfly Piano.



025


?We chose Georgy for the Fazioli Butterfly

Piano collaboration because she is an

exceptionally talented and brilliant

musician. Her professionalism shines through

in every interaction, and her flexibility w ith

repertoire makes her an absolute joy.

Together, they redefine the harmony

between architecture, art, and music.?

A JOURN EY OF EXCELLEN CE

Georgy has achieved remarkable

accolades, including the prestigious

?Borrego de Oro?award for Cultural

Leadership in 20 17 and 23 aw ards at the

ITESM Song Composition Competitions. As

co-founder of M aya Entertainment,

alongside her partner Ruben Dela, Georgy

continues to elevate Vancouver?s music

scene by offering high- quality live music

for bespoke events.

Her journey with the Fazioli Butterfly Piano

exemplifies her commitment to excellence

and innovation. In her hands, this instrument

transcends its physical form, becoming a

vessel for emotions, stories, and memories.

Georgy Manterola and the Fazioli Butterfly

Piano are, indeed, a harmonious

masterpiece.

Located in the heart of downtown

Vancouver, the Bill Reid Gallery of

N orthw est Coast Art stands as

Canada?s only public gallery dedicated

to contemporary Indigenous art of the

N orthw est Coast. Since its opening in

M ay 20 0 8, the gallery has been a

vibrant space for celebrating the

legacies of Indigenous artists, both past

and present.

Named after the acclaimed Haida

artist Bill Reid, the gallery not only

preserves his remarkable body of work

but also serves as a platform for

emerging and established Indigenous

artists to share their stories with the

world.

Through its exhibitions, artist talks, and

workshops, the Bill Reid Gallery offers an

immersive experience that fosters a

deeper appreciation for Indigenous

cultures and values.

This winter, the Bill Reid Gallery

continues its mission with the Vancouver

premiere of Kihl ?Yahda Christian

White: M aster Haida Artist, a

retrospective honouring the life and

artistry of Christian White. Running from

February 1, 20 25, to February 1, 20 26,

the exhibition celebrates over five

decades of White?s contributions to

Haida art and culture. Visitors will

journey through his multidisciplinary

work, which spans intricate argillite

carvings, monumental sculptures,

ocean-going cedar canoes, and

exquisite gold and silver jew ellery.

Equally significant is White?s dedication

to preserving and celebrating Haida

stories, songs, and dances.

A Journey Through Art and Tradition

Curated by Sdahl ? ?aw aas Lucy Bell and

Gudangee X?ahl Kil Amelia Rea, this

exhibition highlights over 40 works by

Christian White, spanning various mediums.

Key pieces include Raven Copper Shield

(1976), crafted at age 14, and Raven

Transformation (20 22), a transformational

mask with intricate designs. The collection

also features House Box (20 24), White?s

latest bentwood creation.

A member of the Yahgulaanas Haida

Raven Clan and son of Chief Edensu,

M orris White, Christian?s work is rooted in

Haida traditions. Beginning his career at

14 by carving argillite, he has since

advanced Haida practices like pole

carving and canoe building .

Mentorship is central to the exhibition, with

contributions from eight apprentices,

including Corey Bulpitt and Allan Weir,

whose collaborative works highlight Haida

art?s evolution and White?s lasting

influence.

White co-founded the Haida Repatriation

Committee, returning over 50 0 Haida

ancestors?remains to Haida Gw aii. He

also created bentwood chests with his

apprentices for these sacred returns,

emphasizing cultural preservation.

STEFA NO RICCI | Fiesole, Italy

S

RImagine stepping into the

legendary Enoteca Pinchiorri in

Florence, a space that radiates

reverence for wine, where bottles

are more than mere vessels? they

are stories, legacies, and

expressions of passion.

It was here, in 20 10 , that the

Florentine luxury brand Stefano

Ricci debuted its foray into the

world of fine wines, initiating

celebrations amongst those who

cherish both extraordinary

craftsmanship and exquisite

vintages.


s p i r i t s


081


Stefano Ricci's wine collection is not

simply a side project? it is a testament

to the brand's relentless pursuit of

perfection.

As a wine lover, you might wonder what

drives a designer known for

impeccable tailoring and opulent

accessories to craft wines. The answer

lies in Ricci's innate ability to transcend

boundaries.

Every aspect of his world is shaped by

his visionary spirit. Whether designing

silk ties or reimagining wine, he is

guided by a philosophy of quality,

elegance, and timeless beauty. His

passion for detail and deep

appreciation for artistry are palpable

in his wines, which have become an

extension of his creative identity.

?The idea was born from a discussion

between our father, Stefano, and

Giorgio Pinchiorri, owner of the

famous Enoteca in Florence, with three

M ichelin stars for over 30 years,? says

Filippo Ricci. ?We wanted to select an

exclusive cuvée and design a

prestigious bottle to enter into this

world. The success we encountered

encouraged us to move forward with

products of absolute Italian excellence.?

A SYM PHON Y OF DESIGN

Stefano Ricci?s wine journey started with

the creation of SR Wine, a collaboration

with Tenuta Sette Ponti, one of

Tuscany?s most celebrated vineyards.


083

The inaugural release was a limited run

of 750 bottles of M erlot, a wine as

refined and exclusive as Ricci's couture

creations. Over time, the collection

expanded to include Sangiovese and

international varietals, all housed in

bottles that are as much works of art as

the wines themselves.

Each wine tells a story, not only through

its terroir but also through its

presentation. From the iconic SR eagle

logo to the intricate paisley patterns

and luxurious accents on the

packaging, no detail is overlooked. The

interplay of gold, platinum, and deep

black on the labels evokes a sense of

grandeur that resonates with Ricci's

larger brand ethos.

?We try to fulfil the Stefano Ricci Man?s

desires 360 degrees,? N iccolò Ricci

explains. ?In much of the world, wine, the

fruit of the vine and man?s work, is an

important element both for the pleasure

of healthy and conscious drinking and

for socializing.?

The wines themselves are crafted with a

meticulous focus on quality. Grapes

sourced from Tuscany's Chianti region

are nurtured in soils rich with marl,

limestone, clay, and sand, creating a

perfect balance for expressive reds.

For white wine lovers, Ricci ventured to

Sicily, bringing forth a vibrant Grillo,

while his Champagne Grand Cuvée

Réserve emerges from a boutique

vineyard in France.

A COLLECTOR' S DREAM

As a wine enthusiast, it is impossible not

to be captivated by the journey Ricci?s

wines offer. The collection boasts an

impressive lineup: from the opulent

20 10 Gold M agnum and the 20 12 Fine

Paisley M agnum to the regal Royal

Eagle series, featuring blends of Merlot,

Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petit Verdot.

Each vintage is released in limited

quantities, with formats ranging from the

elegant Bordolese to the majestic

M athusalem.

?Every year, we introduce a new

proposal to the market, recently thanks

to a consolidated collaboration with

the M oretti properties between Tuscany

and Sicily,? shares Filippo Ricci. ?We

have also presented a Gin and Vodka,

both organic and linked to our territory,

always with a stable view of growth.?

In 20 21, Ricci unveiled Luxor, a

single-varietal Merlot, embodying the

pinnacle of his vision. Like the man

himself, this wine is bold, sophisticated,

and unforgettable.



085


M ORE THAN WIN E

To savour a bottle of Stefano Ricci

wine is to embrace a lifestyle

rooted in artistry and tradition.

The wines are not just beverages;

they are experiences that pair

seamlessly with life?s most indulgent

moments. Whether enjoyed from a

Tuscan Leaf crystal decanter or

poured into a hand-ground glass,

each sip reflects the perfect

marriage of form and flavour.

For those who seek the

extraordinary, Stefano Ricci's wines

are an invitation to explore a world

where craftsmanship, culture, and

connoisseurship converge.

They are a reminder that, like great

wines, the finest things in life are

worth waiting for? and savouring.

In the world of fine spirits,

where every sip tells a story, the

Stefano Ricci 1996 Single M alt

Scotch Whisky emerges as a jewel

for true connoisseurs. This

masterpiece embodies the

meticulous pursuit of perfection? a

hallmark of both the Stefano Ricci

brand and the Isle of Arran?s storied

whisky-making tradition.

As Stefano Ricci explains, "Single

malt whisky has always been a

distinctive element and thanks to

the collaboration with Arran,

through La M aison du Whisky, we

have decided to offer a clientele

of experts a legitimate and rare

product."

"The Man who loves to drink quality

drinks thus has a further point of

reference in the Stefano Ricci

offering."

This commitment to quality is

evident in every aspect of the 1996

release.

For over two decades, this single

malt has quietly matured, its journey

beginning on the Isle of Arran, a

small corner of Scotland renowned

for its purity and dedication to

heritage. Every detail of its

creation has been carefully

considered, beginning with the

water sourced from a lake three

kilometres from the distillery.


091


On its journey, the water is naturally

filtered through granite rocks and

enriched with oxygen as it flows

over seven cascading waterfalls.

Combined with premium barley, this

pristine water becomes the

foundation of a whisky unlike any

other.

The Stefano Ricci 1996 Single Malt

Scotch Whisky is aged in Spanish

oak puncheon barrels? distinct

50 0 - litre casks chosen for their

ability to nurture a more refined,

delicate spirit.

This choice of barrel exemplifies a

commitment to tradition while

enhancing the whisky?s character

with nuanced layers of flavour.

The result is a whisky imbued with

the very essence of its origins: a

vibrant backbone cloaked in silky

spices, rich complexity, and noble

patterns reminiscent of damask

fabric.

"Whisky," as Ricci notes, "lives in a

world of its own, the result of a long

tradition and fascinating

workmanship. In modern history, the

affirmation of w hisky bars in the

twentieth century has developed

the contexts of exclusive clubs and

noble houses where this drink was

previously kept. In the best cards of

the world, its presence is

synonymous with refinement and

competence."

The Stefano Ricci 1996 Single Malt

epitomizes this tradition, offering

an extraordinary product that

appeals to both connoisseurs and

collectors alike.

The collaboration between

Stefano Ricci and La Maison du

Whisky elevates this release to a

new level of sophistication.

Known for curating the finest in

luxury spirits, La Maison du Whisky

brings its expertise to showcase the

1996 Single Malt in a manner that

embodies the ethos of Stefano

Ricci. From the elegant bottle

design to the whisky?s extraordinary

heritage, this partnership

celebrates the confluence of

craftsmanship and artistry.

Stefano Ricci, a brand synonymous

with ultra-luxury, has distilled its

own unique style into this whisky.

Just as their garment designs

reflect uncompromising attention to

detail, this single malt exemplifies

the pursuit of absolute quality. It

invites the discerning whisky lover

to experience not just a drink but a

moment of reflection, connection,

and refined indulgence.

As Ricci proudly asserts, "We

always move within LIM ITED

edition, never exceeding a

thousand copies worldwide for

both Wines and Fine Spirits.

It is not our core business, but a

complement that makes the

difference."


093

This limited release adds to the allure

of the 1996 Single Malt, making it even

more desirable for those who

understand the true value of rarity and

exclusivity.

The story of Stefano Ricci?s 1996 Single

Malt Scotch Whisky is more than a tale

of exceptional craftsmanship? it is a

tribute to the rich culture of whisky

itself. From its Gaelic origins asuisge

beathato the modern cocktail

renaissance, whisky remains a drink

steeped in history, tradition, and

artistry.

The brand?s partnership with

international bartenders ensures that

this legacy continues, inspiring

creations that span continents and

cultures.

For whisky lovers, the Stefano Ricci

1996 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is not

just a drink? it is an invitation to

discover a miniature corner of

Scotland, one sip at a time. It is a

celebration of the finer things in life,

where every detail tells a story.

M H

In 1997, the creation of Oculus was A VIN TAGE FOR THE AGES

not merely the introduction of a new

wine; it was a declaration of

possibility.

M ission Hill Family Estate envisioned

what the Okanagan Valley could

become: a world-class wine region

capable of standing

shoulder-to-shoulder with the finest.

This vision took root in the vineyards

on the sun-drenched benches

overlooking Oliver and Osoyoos

Lake, where sagebrush and arid soils

provided the raw potential to

cultivate greatness. Over decades of

unwavering commitment to quality

and innovation, that dream has

been realized. The release of the

20 20 Oculus marks a historic

milestone in Canadian winemaking,

earning an unprecedented perfect

10 0 - point score? the first Canadian

red wine to achieve such acclaim.

The 20 20 Oculus is a masterful

expression of the Okanagan terroir.

Crafted from meticulously selected

estate-grown grapes, this

Bordeaux-style blend is a harmonious

symphony of M erlot (49%), Cabernet

Sauvignon (24%), Cabernet Franc

(22%), and Petit Verdot (5%). These

varietals are farmed in low-yielding

blocks within the winery?s Osoyoos

and Oliver Black Sage vineyard

estates. Gravity-filling techniques

transfer the hand-sorted grapes into

specially constructed French oak

and concrete fermenters, preserving

the integrity of each cluster. The wine

is then aged for 19 months in small

French oak barrels, followed by an

additional 24 months in bottle,

allowing its complex character to

evolve and deepen.



099


On the palate, the 20 20 Oculus

dazzles with its impeccable balance

and sophistication. Aromas of cassis,

dark cherry, and spice entice the

senses, while subtle notes of chocolate

add a luxurious depth. The silky

tannins and vibrant acidity create a

refined structure, showcasing the finest

attributes of each varietal. This

vintage is a testament to Mission Hill?s

dedication to excellence, offering

both immediate enjoyment and

remarkable aging potential.

RECOGN ITION & LEGACY

The perfect score awarded by

esteemed wine writer and sommelier

John Schreiner underscores the

extraordinary achievement of the

20 20 Oculus. Schreiner praised its

persistent finish and flawless execution,

calling it a ?tour de force? that

elevates Canadian wine to new

heights. This accolade is not only a

triumph for Mission Hill Family Estate

but also a pivotal moment for the

Okanagan Valley, affirming its place

on the global wine stage.

Mission Hill Family Estate has been

named ?Canadian Winery of the Year?

for an unprecedented five times, a

testament to the estate?s consistency

and innovation.

With each accolade, Mission Hill

reaffirms its role as a beacon of

excellence, illuminating the path

forward for Canadian winemaking.


101

THE FOUN DER' S VISION

When Proprietor Anthony von M andl

risked everything to purchase a near

bankrupt winery and renamed it Mission

Hill in 1981, the Okanagan was known

primarily for its stone fruit orchards. Von

Mandl, however, saw a greater potential.

In a speech to the Kelow na Chamber of

Commerce, he shared his ambitious

dream of transforming the valley into a

w orld- class w ine destination.

?When I look out over the valley,? he said,

?I see w orld- class vinifera vineyards

winding their way down the valley,

numerous estate wineries, charming inns,

and intimate cafes captivating visitors in a

magical setting. The dream is the N apa

Valley of Canada, but much more.?

This vision has guided every aspect of

Mission Hill?s evolution. From the organic

and regenerative farming practices in

the vineyards to the architectural

grandeur of the estate, every detail

reflects an unwavering pursuit of

excellence.

Today, Mission Hill?s achievements

resonate far beyond its vineyards,

inspiring a new era of winemaking and

luxury hospitality experiences in the

Okanagan Valley.



103


A SAN CTUARY FOR WIN E LOVERS

Mission Hill Family Estate is not just a

winery; it is an immersive experience

designed to celebrate the timelessness of

wine. Its monastic-inspired architecture

offers a serene escape from the everyday.

Guests enter through a hand- chiseled

stone archw ay, carved from a single

five-ton block of Indiana limestone,

bearing the von Mandl family crest. This

meticulous craftsmanship sets the tone for a

journey of discovery.

The estate?s 12- storey bell tow er is a

striking landmark, housing four bronze bells

cast by the Paccard Bell Foundry in

France. These bells chime every half-hour,

their resonant tones enhancing the tranquil

ambiance.

The loggia, an outdoor room blending

seamlessly with the landscape, provides

breathtaking views of the valley and

Okanagan Lake below.

Visitors can also explore the barrel cellar

carved into volcanic rock, where the

climate-controlled environment ensures

optimal aging conditions for Mission Hill?s

finest wines.

An oculus in the cellar? a circular opening

that lets in natural light? serves as both a

practical feature and an inspiration for the

winery?s flagship wine, an expression that

visually reflects the estate?s past, while

looking ahead to the future.

THE FUTURE OF CAN ADIAN WIN E

The 20 20 Oculus is priced at $225 and is

available for purchase online, with

complimentary shipping across British

Columbia and Alberta.

This landmark vintage represents more than

a bottle of wine; it is a symbol of what is

possible when vision, passion, and

craftsmanship converge.

Mission Hill?s journey is far from over. The

estate continues to innovate and push

boundaries, drawing inspiration from the

Okanagan?s unique landscape. As the

winery celebrates its achievements, it

remains committed to the future with a

focus on producing wines of exceptional

quality and taste that capture the essence

of this remarkable region.

For wine lovers, the 20 20 Oculus is more

than a drink? it is an invitation to savour

history in the making. As you raise a glass of

this extraordinary wine, you are not just

tasting the fruits of Mission Hill Family

Estate; you are toasting to the legacy of

Canadian winemaking and the boundless

possibilities that lie ahead.

In the heart of Summerland, BC,

Hayw ire Winery is raising a glass to

tradition and community with the release

of its highly anticipated Lunar Red wine.

This limited-edition creation celebrates

the 20 25 Year of the Snake and

continues a cherished tradition that

began in 20 14. As the first winery in

British Columbia to introduce a Lunar

N ew Year w ine, Haywire has seamlessly

blended the art of winemaking with

cultural celebration.

The Haywire Lunar Red is more than just

a wine? it is a tribute to the vibrant

traditions of the Lunar New Year.

Featuring a striking label adorned with a

bold Year of the Snake motif, this bottle

is a must-have for celebrations.

Beyond its festive appeal, Lunar Red

embodies a deeper purpose. A portion of

the proceeds from every bottle sold

benefits the Vancouver Chinatow n

Foundation, an organization committed

to revitalizing Vancouver?s historic

Chinatown through affordable housing,

cultural preservation, and economic

development projects.

"Our Lunar Red wine embodies the

essence of the season? bringing people

together, celebrating tradition, and

involving the community," says Haywire

owner Christine Coletta.

The collaboration with the Vancouver

Chinatown Foundation highlights the

winery?s commitment to fostering

meaningful connections beyond the

vineyard.

This year?s Lunar Red release is a

meticulously crafted blend of M erlot and

Cabernet, chosen to complement the

rich flavours of Lunar New Year feasts.

It offers an aromatic nose with notes of

dark cherry, black licorice, leather,

and earthy undertones. On the palate,

the wine has a medium-bodied structure

with chalky tannins and flavours of

stew ed fruits, cherry cola, fennel, and

dark cocoa. Its bright acidity and long

finish make it a versatile pairing for

dishes especially Szechuan specialties,

or wok-seared vegetables.



109


The wine is available online and at select

retailers for purchase and is already

capturing the attention of wine enthusiasts

and Lunar New Year celebrants alike. With

limited quantities, securing a bottle is a great

way to mark the season.

Haywire Winery is also celebrating the

re-release of its bilingual food and wine

pairing guide, which showcases the

seamless connection between Asian flavours

and BC w ines. Originally developed in

20 14 in collaboration with food author

Stephanie Yuen and the late journalist

N athan Fong, the guide provides practical

insights into pairing BC wines, like Lunar Red,

with the bold and intricate flavours found in

Asian cuisine.

The guide is designed to inspire both wine

lovers and home cooks to experiment with

new pairings, encouraging them to think

beyond traditional choices. It offers a deep

dive into flavour profiles and highlights dishes

that elevate the enjoyment of wines like the

Lunar Red.

TRADITION X M ODERN ITY

has been synonymous with cool-climate

winemaking and innovation.

Winemaker M att Dumayne?s minimalist

texture and depth. The Lunar Red wine

exemplifies this ethos, balancing tradition

and creativity in every bottle.

Haywire?s commitment to quality extends

beyond its wines. The winery, set amidst the

serene landscapes of the Okanagan, offers

visitors a year-round destination for tastings

and personalized experiences. With its

contributing to initiatives that ensure the

community?s longevity and vibrancy.

The Foundation?s projects include affordable

housing, cultural preservation, and economic

sustainable and resilient Chinatown.

The Haywire Lunar Red wine captures the

HUBLOT | 'LUX URY ZONE' | Vancouver, BC

HThe artistry of horology has always been

about precision, craftsmanship, and

storytelling. As a horologist, I am often

drawn to timepieces that go beyond

function, merging innovation with narratives

that resonate deeply. Hublot?s latest

creation, the Big Bang Unico Carbon

Canada, is an intriguing example of this

philosophy. It is a timepiece that not only

marks the hours but also honours a nation?s

identity and spirit.

A Bold M ove in a N iche M arket

Canada, ranked 18th in the world for Sw iss

watch exports according to the Federation

of the Sw iss Watch Industry?s 20 23 report,

is not typically considered a major player

in the global luxury watch market.

Positioned just below countries like

Australia, Taiw an, and The N etherlands,

it is a vast land with a relatively small

population. Yet, Hublot?s decision to craft a

watch exclusively for this market is a bold

statement.



117

It acknowledges the growing

sophistication and passion of Canadian

watch collectors. This move underscores

Hublot?s willingness to venture into less

conventional markets, setting a precedent

for other luxury brands to follow.

The Big Bang Unico Carbon Canada:

Design and Symbolism

At first glance, the Big Bang Unico

Carbon Canada?s design is striking. The

black carbon case, interwoven with red

and w hite flecks, immediately captures

attention.

These colours are a deliberate nod to

Canada?s national flag, with its iconic

red maple leaf set against a white

backdrop. Hublot?s interpretation goes

deeper, however. The white represents

Canada?s snowy landscapes, while the red

pays homage to the vibrant hues of the

nation?s autumn foliage.

The 42mm case, a hallmark of Hublot?s

Big Bang collection, is both robust and

elegant. The Canadian maple leaf takes

centre stage on the case back,

symbolizing unity, peace, and the

breathtaking natural beauty that defines

the nation. With its eleven points, the

maple leaf is more than an emblem; it is a

testament to Canada?s history and

aspirations.

Every detail of this watch tells a story,

making it more than just an accessory? it

is a collector?s piece imbued with

meaning.

A M asterpiece of Sw iss Engineering

At the heart of the Big Bang Unico

Carbon Canada lies Hublot?s in-house

Unico movement. This calibre is a marvel

of Swiss engineering, renowned for its

mechanical complexity and unparalleled

precision. Featuring a column wheel and

dual-clutch mechanism visible through the

dial, the Unico movement exemplifies

Hublot?s dedication to technical mastery.

Its 72- hour pow er reserve and the use of

advanced materials like silicon for the

escapement ensure reliability and

longevity? a perfect marriage of tradition

and innovation.

The technical prowess of the Unico

movement is matched by its aesthetic

appeal. The visible mechanics on the dial

side are a reminder of the meticulous

craftsmanship that defines Hublot?s

approach. It is a timepiece that appeals

to both the engineer and the artist within

every horologist.

For Discerning Collectors

This limited edition? restricted to just

50 pieces? is exclusively available at

Hublot?s boutiques in Toronto and

Vancouver. The Vancouver boutique is

located in the heart of the ?Luxury Zone,?

downtown?s premier destination for

high-end shopping.

Surrounded by world-renowned luxury

brands, this boutique is a testament to the

city?s growing appreciation for fine

craftsmanship and elite design.

The location perfectly complements

Hublot?s reputation for innovation and

exclusivity.

The watch comes with two strap options

including Hublot?s signature black rubber

strap, accented with red and white

stitching. This duality allows wearers to

adapt the timepiece to different occasions,

blending versatility with elegance.

The packaging is another noteworthy

aspect. The Hublot Greenbox Case,

adorned with the maple leaf, reflects the

brand?s commitment to sustainability.

Crafted entirely from oak, with 98% of its

removable interior made from recycled

and eco- friendly materials, the case is

more than just a container. It is a reusable

and environmentally conscious creation

that aligns with modern values. By using

traceable wood and promoting short

supply chains, Hublot demonstrates that

luxury can coexist w ith responsibility.

A Horologist?s Appreciation

For those of us in the field of horology, the

Big Bang Unico Carbon Canada is a

compelling example of how watches can

transcend their practical purpose. It

embodies the ?Art of Fusion? that Hublot

is renowned for? a seamless blend of

Sw iss precision, innovative materials, and

cultural storytelling. By crafting a

timepiece that honours Canada?s identity,

Hublot has created more than just a watch;

it has forged a connection with a nation

and its people.

From the intricate details of the Unico

movement to the symbolism of the maple

leaf, every element of this watch reflects a

deep respect for craftsmanship and

narrative. It is a reminder that in the world

of horology, true innovation lies not only in

technical advancements but also in the

ability to tell stories that resonate with

collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Lovers of horology will find the Big Bang

Unico Carbon Canada to be a fascinating

case study.

It challenges conventional notions of what

a timepiece can represent and pushes the

boundaries of design and innovation. For

Canadian collectors, it offers a rare

opportunity to own a piece of horological

history? a watch that is as much a tribute

to their heritage as it is a testament to

Hublot?s visionary approach.

For the rest of us, it serves as a beacon of

what is possible when craftsmanship meets

creativity and cultural appreciation.

PRINCESS LOUISA LODGE | Faith Wilson | BC


P LL

In the heart of British Columbia?s

untamed wilderness, poised on the

serene edge of Jervis Inlet , lies

Princess Louisa Lodge. Located near

the breathtaking Princess Louisa Inlet

and the world-renowned Chatterbox

Falls, this ultra-luxury estate offers an

unparalleled fusion of natural splendour

and sophisticated living.

Encompassing a staggering 418 acres,

the property is offered at $33,0 0 0 ,0 0 0

CAD and represents a rare opportunity

to own a slice of pristine Canadian

wilderness.


133


A WILDERN ESS M ASTERPIECE

From its origins as raw, untouched land,

Princess Louisa Lodge has been

meticulously transformed into a haven

of tranquillity and elegance.

Spanning approximately

20 ,0 0 0 - square- feet of living space

across seven primary structures, this

estate seamlessly balances the rugged

beauty of its surroundings with luxurious

modern amenities.

Each element of the property has been

thoughtfully designed to create a

sanctuary that can be enjoyed

privately, and yet is large enough to

potentially be a boutique commercial

lodge.

With 24 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms,

the estate provides ample space for

family, friends, and guests.

A network of well-maintained roads

connects the structures, ensuring ease

of access throughout the property.

Sustainability is woven into the fabric of

the estate, with hydro- electric pow er

and fresh w ater supplied by

year-round mountain waterfalls.


135

THE M AIN LODGE

A Testament to Rugged Luxury

The crown jewel of the estate, the

M ain Lodge, is a grand structure crafted

from majestic red cedar logs. Nestled

against the sheer face of a tow ering

rock cliff, it embodies rugged

sophistication. Inside, eight bedrooms

and ten bathrooms ensure that comfort

is paramount.

Expansive living spaces, framed by

panoramic w indow s, invite the natural

beauty of the surrounding wilderness

indoors. Built for those who want to get

away without sacrificing an ounce of

style or modern amenities, the lodge

features three redundant satellite

systems, ensuring seamless connectivity.

Every inch of the Main Lodge whispers of

a life that embraces the wild while

revelling in the refined.

The large deck, with its jaw-dropping

views of mountains and ocean, is where

you will find your balance. And the

primary bedroom? Let us just say waking

up to that view makes it hard to leave,

even if the world is calling.

THE GUEST HOUSE

A Five- Star Refuge

Located near the Lodge, but with just

enough breathing room, sits the

Guest House ? a sanctuary of its own.

Built with the same thoughtful attention to

detail, it rivals any five- star hideaw ay.

Two common areas, each anchored by a

crackling w ood- burning fireplace,

encourage relaxation and connection.

The patio stretches the length of the

lower floor, offering jaw-dropping ocean

and mountain views ? perfect for

catching the sunset or losing yourself in

the rhythm of the waves below.

With eight bedrooms and eight

bathrooms, the Guest House provides an

exceptional experience for visitors.

THE WRITER' S CABIN

An Intimate Escape

Tucked right against the water?s edge,

the Writer?s Cabin is a study in quiet

confidence. It is not here to outshine its

grander neighbours; instead, it offers

something different ? something more

personal.

Constructed in the same manner as the

Main Lodge, it is unassuming but knows

exactly what it is doing. Easy water

access for those moments when you need

to clear your head, a hot tub to melt

away the day, a wood-burning fireplace

that feels like a w arm hug, and a full

kitchen to fuel your late-night writing

marathons.

This is where nature and luxury shake

hands. It is the kind of place where words

come easier, where the noise of the

world fades, and the only thing left is you,

your thoughts, and the endless

possibilities of the blank page.



137

Perched high above the estate, the

Day Camp cabin offers unparalleled

views of the ocean, mountains, and

the estate. With a vaulted ceiling and

cobblestone flooring, this grand

events space can host celebrations,

and performances, or even serve as a

greenhouse, thanks to strategically

placed water spouts. It is a versatile

venue that caters to a wide range of

creative pursuits.

featuring rows of raspberry and

blueberry bushes, seasonal

vegetables, and over 20 fruit trees. A

large pond, complete with a cabana

for relaxation. This area invites

families to connect with nature and

750S

LUXURY

HPEV



147

M CLA REN VA NCOUVER | Dealer 50103 | BC

MFrom the moment you slip behind the wheel of

the M cLaren 750 S, you know you are in for

an extraordinary experience. As a car

enthusiast, this is the kind of machine that stirs

the soul and sets the pulse racing.

The 750 S, available in coupe and

convertible Spider forms, is not merely a

car? it is a testament to McLaren?s

unwavering commitment to pushing the

boundaries of automotive engineering.

It is lighter, faster, and more connected to the

driver than ever before, representing a new

benchmark for supercar performance.



149


Lightweight Engineering: Redefining Agility

The 750 S boasts an astounding dry weight of

1,277 kilograms in its lightest coupe form,

setting it apart as the lightest and most

powerful series-production McLaren. Even the

Spider variant , with its Retractable Hard Top

(RHT), achieves an impressive 1,326 kilograms.

This dedication to weight savings is evident in

every detail. From the carbon fibre

monocoque to the ultra- lightweight forged

w heels and thinner w indscreen glass, every

gram is scrutinized to ensure peak

performance. The result? A segment-leading

power-to-weight ratio of 587 PS- per- tonne in

the coupe and 566 PS- per- tonne in the Spider.

For those who revel in precision, McLaren?s new

10 -spoke ultra-lightweight forged wheels save

13.8 kilograms compared to their predecessors.

Even the racing seats, made of carbon fibre

shells, shave off an additional 17.5 kilograms.

Each innovation contributes to the 750 S?s

remarkable agility, allowing it to dance

through corners and accelerate with

unparalleled ferocity.

Ferocious Pow er at Your Command

Beneath the sculpted exterior lies a heart that

beats with pure, unbridled power. The 4.0 - litre

twin- turbocharged V8 engine produces a

staggering 750 PS and 80 0 Nm of torque. With

optimised transmission gearing and revised

kickdown control strategies, the 750 S rockets

from 0 to 10 0 km/ h in just 2.8 seconds and

reaches 20 0 km/ h in a mere 7.2 seconds.

These numbers are not just figures on a spec

sheet; they are a visceral reality when your foot

meets the accelerator.

The distinctive central-exit exhaust, inspired by

the legendary M cLaren P1? , provides an

acoustic experience that matches the car?s

performance. With a sharp crescendo at high

engine speeds, the exhaust note perfectly

complements the sheer exhilaration of driving

the 750 S. It is not merely a sound; it is a

symphony of engineering excellence.

Unmatched Dynamic Excellence

McLaren?s Proactive Chassis Control (PCC)

has been reimagined for the 750 S, elevating

suspension performance to new heights.

Dubbed PCC III, this advanced

linked-hydraulic suspension system balances

astonishingly precise body control with a level

of ride comfort that defies expectations. Softer

front springs and stiffer rear springs work in

harmony with reconfigured valve stacks and

accumulator tuning, delivering unparalleled

feedback and cornering balance.

The 750 S?s electro-hydraulic steering, widely

regarded as the gold standard for precision

and clarity, has been enhanced with a faster

steering ratio and a new pow er- assistance

pump. Combined with a 6mm wider front track

and revised suspension geometry, the result is a

supercar that feels alive in your hands. Every

input is met with immediate, confident

responses, making the 750 S an extension of the

driver?s will.

A Cabin Tailored to the Driver

Step inside, and you are greeted by a cockpit

that places the driver at the centre of

everything. The new driver- centric display,

mounted on the steering column, moves with the

wheel, ensuring critical information is always

within view.


151

The controls for Powertrain and Handling

modes are conveniently located on either

side of the display, allowing effortless

transitions between Comfort, Sport, and

Track settings without ever taking your

hands off the wheel.

For those who seek a bespoke driving

experience, the M cLaren Control

Launcher (MCL) debuts on the 750 S. This

innovative feature allows drivers to save

their preferred combination of aero,

handling, powertrain, and transmission

settings, which can be instantly recalled

with the press of a button featuring the

iconic M cLaren Speedy Kiw i emblem.

Modern conveniences are not overlooked.

The 750 S offers Apple CarPlay®

integration, a redesigned Central

Information Screen with richer graphics,

and an upgraded Rear View and

Surround View camera system. For

audiophiles, the Bow ers & Wilkins sound

system delivers unparalleled audio

quality, with Continuum® cone speakers

and a more powerful amplifier.

The Art of Aerodynamics

Every curve and surface of the 750 S has

been meticulously crafted to enhance

aerodynamic efficiency. The extended

front splitter, redesigned rear deck, and

raised carbon fibre active rear wing work

in harmony to maximize downforce and

minimize drag. The wing deploys in less

than half a second, adapting to driving

conditions to provide optimal stability

and braking performance.

The Spider variant, with its glazed flying

buttresses and electrochromic RHT,

seamlessly blends open-air exhilaration

with aerodynamic sophistication.

The roof can be opened or closed in just

11 seconds at speeds up to 50 km/ h,

allowing drivers to transition effortlessly

between coupe and convertible

experiences.

The Purest Connection

The McLaren 750 S is more than a

supercar; it is an instrument of pure

driving pleasure. The combination of

lightweight construction, ferocious power,

and cutting-edge technology creates a

vehicle that not only excels on paper but

also delivers an emotional connection

that is impossible to quantify.

The Benchmark Redefined

McLaren has set a new standard with the

750 S, a car that combines the precision

of a scalpel with the power of a

sledgehammer. It is a testament to the

brand?s dedication to

performance- based innovation and a

celebration of what makes driving truly

great. For the purist, the 750 S is not just a

car; it is the ultimate expression of

automotive artistry.
