3 awesome Okanagan food and wine events not to miss
Summer wine country is all about long-table wine dinners and parties, right? Here are three upcoming delicious events that still have tickets available - but do hurry.
Bubbles paired with every course? Yes, please.
Bella Wines is a destination boutique sparkling wine house in Naramata.
On their little farm, Jay Drysdale and Wendy Rose are making their buzzed-about bubbly and enjoying the good life. Jay is also a chef and the couple is all about good food so this upcoming Winemaker's Dinner with the Okanagan’s famed caterers, Joy Road, will be spectacular.
Joy Road owners Cam Smith and Dana Ewart are renowned for their locally focussed “cuisine du terroir”. Jay and Team JRC will guide you through a five-course meal comprised of local ingredients with each course paired with a Bella sparkling wine. Cheers!
Friday, Aug. 9 at 6 p.m. $160 (40 seats only)
