What Feaster does

Feaster (legally Feaster Media, Inc.) is a Vancouver, British Columbia-based festival and events collective that organizes and produces a portfolio of nine branded food and beverage festivals across North America, including Rosé Disco, Wine Vikings, Punchbowl, Vancouver Craft Beer Week (VCBW/Wing Fest), Country Club, Spaghetti Disco, Harvest Haus (Canada's Oktoberfest), Whisky Global, and Spirited. Each brand is operated as a standalone event property with its own dedicated website, marketing presence, and aftermovie content, while the parent operates a centralized hub at wearefeaster.com and an email newsletter ("The Feast") to drive cross-promotion across the portfolio. The company serves two distinct customer segments: consumer ticket-buying food and beverage enthusiasts seeking curated wine, spirits, beer, cocktail, and culinary experiences with live entertainment; and beverage/food brand exhibitors and sponsors seeking direct access to engaged consumer audiences.

Feaster's underlying "technology" is its event production and festival management platform, spanning venue relationships (PNE Playland/Forum, Fort York, The Big Four, The Confluence, Calgary Convention Center, Tempe Beach Park, and others), marketing infrastructure, and a portfolio of acquired event IP consolidated under the Feaster Media, Inc. corporate parent (including subsidiaries Deighton Cup Productions and Greenwood Stakes Inc.). The company has no disclosed proprietary software product, mobile app, or API surface; its competitive differentiation is operational and brand-led rather than technology-led.

The business model is primarily one-time consumer ticket sales sold direct-to-consumer via dedicated event websites, supplemented by exhibitor fees and brand sponsorship revenue from wineries, breweries, distilleries, tequila/mezcal brands, and food vendors that participate in the festivals. Feaster markets through its centralized website, individual event microsites, email newsletter, and social/video channels, with geographic reach spanning British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, and Arizona. No pricing is publicly disclosed and no funding rounds, headcount, or revenue figures are reported in the available data.

Core offering

Feaster organizes and produces food and beverage festivals across North America through a portfolio of nine distinct festival brands (Rosé Disco, Wine Vikings, Punchbowl, VCBW, Country Club, Spaghetti Disco, Harvest Haus, Whisky Global, and Spirited). The company sells tickets directly to consumers via dedicated event websites and pairs consumer experiences with brand sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities for wineries, breweries, distilleries, and food vendors. Events combine curated tasting experiences, live entertainment, and community gatherings in cities across Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Kelowna, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa) and the USA (Tempe, AZ).

Product overview

Feaster is a festival and events collective that operates as a portfolio of distinct food and beverage festival brands across North America. Rather than a unified platform product, Feaster manages multiple branded festival properties—Rosé Disco, Wine Vikings, Punchbowl, VCBW/Wing Fest, Country Club, Spaghetti Disco, Harvest Haus (Oktoberfest), Whisky Global, and Spirited—each serving as a standalone event experience. These festivals span wine, spirits, beer, cocktails, whisky, and culinary categories, held across cities including Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Kelowna, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, and Tempe, AZ. The company operates as an event organizer and promoter rather than a technology or software product company.

Broad incumbents

• C3 Presents: One of the largest US festival producers (Austin City Limits, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo). Operates at meaningfully larger scale and broader music-first portfolio but overlaps with Feaster on large-format live event production.
• AEG / Goldenvoice: AEG's festival division operates Coachella, Stagecoach, and BottleRock. Vastly larger scale but directly relevant as a benchmark operator of multi-category, multi-beverage, music-forward festival brands competing for the same sponsors and attendees.

Others

• Eventbrite: Ticketing and event-discovery platform on which many festival operators (including adjacent indies) sell tickets. Not a competitor but an adjacent infrastructure provider Feaster could leverage for incremental attendee acquisition.

Direct peers

• Whiskies of the World: Operates touring whisky tasting events in multiple US cities. Directly comparable to Whisky Global in category, format, and revenue model (exhibitor + ticket revenue).
• Eat Drink SF: San Francisco's signature food and wine festival featuring tastings, chef demos, and beverage programming. Similar community-led culinary-festival format to Feaster's Punchbowl and Spirited brands.
• Outside Lands: San Francisco's flagship music, wine, and food festival. Combines major music acts with curated wine and culinary programming — a direct functional analogue to Feaster's multi-element festival brands.
• BottleRock Napa Valley: BottleRock combines live music, wine, and culinary experiences in a single multi-day festival. It mirrors Feaster's hybrid music-plus-beverage-plus-food format at a larger scale, especially for brands like Rosé Disco, Spaghetti Disco, and Country Club.
• Taste of Toronto / Taste Festivals: Operates a portfolio of consumer food festivals across North American and global cities. Same festival-touring model and category-led brand structure as Feaster, with multi-city scale.
• Wine Riot: Consumer-facing wine tasting events held in major US cities with curated bottles and guided tastings. Closely comparable to Feaster's Wine Vikings brand on positioning and experience design.
• WhiskyFest: WhiskyFest operates multi-city whisky tasting festivals across North America (NYC, LA, Chicago, etc.). It is the most direct comparable to Feaster's Whisky Global brand — same category, same multi-city touring format, similar exhibitor-driven revenue model.
