WITH TOWN HALL
STORIES, NEWS, AND BEST PRACTICES
The team at Haywire Winery is thrilled to announce the much-anticipated return of its Lunar New Year limited edition wine, Haywire Lunar Red, in celebration of the Year of the Dragon. This release marks a continuation of a tradition that began with the winery’s first Lunar New Year wine in 2014, when the team at Haywire was the first BC winery to release a Lunar wine label.
The media is swooning over the items at The Bench Bakehouse, and so are we!
The Bench Bakehouse has been decking the halls and spreading the cheer this holiday season, and media outlets have been excited to share the news.
We stopped in at The Bench Bakehouse (located at 1st and Commercial in Vancouver) to have a tour and pick-up some holiday treats, and we have to say, those that picked up the story know what’s up!
The Bench Bakehouse has been fully outfitted in holiday décor and stocked with shelves of delicious goodies (all available for pre-order online or by visiting the store at 1641 Commercial Drive), making it one of the top places to get your holiday baked goods in Vancouver.
To coincide with our season’s greetings, we wanted to highlight the media coverage that the bakery has received over the last few weeks, plus a sneak peek inside our most recent visit.
If you make it to The Bench Bakehouse before the holidays, snap a picture and tag us (@townhallbrands) and @thebenchbakehouse on social. We’d love to see your experience!

We visited the bakery to see the new holiday goodies, and we were not disappointed. From the homemade stollen and fruit cake, to seasonal cookie boxes, fully assembled DIY gingerbread houses, cookie decorating kits, and bake-at-home goods, the bakery is nothing short of a holiday wonderland this December.

By Leeann Froese It's a new week to introduce you to one of the fabulous personalities in the world #withTownHall!
This does not mean they work as part of our team, or are our client (although sometimes they are).
We just interact with so many amazing people that we want to expand networks and introduce them to you, and you to them. This week #withTownHall, just in time for Pride, we introduce you to Joshua McVeity and Fred Lee.
These two lovely men are arguably Vancouver's most well known gay couple - the two married last year and are a perfect living example of love, acceptance and community.
Joshua is a talented photographer who works freelance for several publications, including Western Living. He captures people and places, and can be seen at events all over the city.
Fred is known as Vanhattan's Man About Town and is a regular contributor to The CBC, The Province and Vancouver Courier Newspaper. He graciously gives his time to emcee many charitable events, and is known as a major champion for charitable work in greater Vancouver.
The two of them together make a wonderful couple - and I am proud to call them my friends.
Please help me celebrate friendship and Pride with a hello to these two?
