Before the trendy shops and beautiful people, Yaletown was an industrial area known for not much more than inexpensive studio space, offices and manufacturing workshops. Today, Yaletown is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Vancouver. Yaletown is a place to see and been seen. And one of the ways to be seen is to attend the first annual Capones Wine & Jazz Festival.

The price is $60 per person (plus taxes & gratuity). Tonight was the opening gala party to kick the event off.
