Canadian Impressions DailyCandy Cocktail Reception

Last night, Lance Stamps, VP of marketing for ClassicTravel.com, Dayva Segal, Director of Social Networking and New Media Marketing, and Michael Byrne, a content writer for ClassicTravel.com attended an exclusive cocktail hour at the Canadian Impressions DailyCandy art exhibit. This cocktail hour was only for associates of Virtuoso and their affiliates. We enjoyed delicious hors d'oeuvres, great wine and even had our pictures drawn! The event featured art by Sujean Rim, the artist for DailyCandy, a popular website and e-mail newsletter. Each art piece depicted something about Canada! One piece showed tourists on a Polar Bear watching excursion, while another one featured skiiers, and another, wine tastings. 

The event was part of a Virtuoso promotion of some amazing Canada Travel Packages, available at exclusive Virtuoso rates and with all the usual Virtuoso VIP treatment and amenities. Here are our top picks out of the 12 packages:
