Speaker

Phoebe Fung is the founder of Vin Room, an upscale wine bar with three locations in Calgary. Phoebe has a Bachelor of Commerce degree from the University of Alberta and a MBA from Queens University. She spent 15 years in the oil and gas industry working in various roles such as resource management, strategic planning, acquisitions and divestments, and project management before starting Vin Room in 2008, out of a love for food and wine.

The Vin Room YYC Airport location won Best Airport Wine Bar at the 2019 Global Food and Beverage Awards and is one of the few independent restaurants in a Canadian airport.

Phoebe’s first passion is her four legged pooch, Dom, who is the driving force behind Vin Room being the first restaurant in Calgary to have dog friendly patios.
