Last weekend of a fantastic Spring Wine Festival!

As we head into the last weekend of Spring Wine Fest – it’s been a BLAST!

Spring Wine Fest this year has been an unprecedented flurry of great events involving all the wineries around Penticton and the South Okanagan Wine Country.

From new releases to consumer tasting events and all the many wine and food events so far, we think this has been the best spring festival to date. Almost every event we were able to take in – and it was nowhere near as many as we would have liked – was sold out or pretty much at capacity.

Tomorrow (Saturday) there are 48 events scheduled, from the north end of the Okanagan through the south and over into the Similkameen Valley wineries. (Here’s the event list!) Sunday is the wrap for this year’s festival and there are plenty of events to take in, including some all-day events.

So get out there and enjoy!

If, poor soul, you weren’t able to make this year’s festival, we do have a consolation prize for you – our Spring Wine Country Getaway for 2 will take you to some of the Penticton area’s stellar wineries with a wine pro to guide you. It’s a fabulous opportunity to explore outstanding wineries, taste exceptional wines and learn a bit about the way Okanagan wineries approach making them.

See you soon!
