If you’re planning a summer vacation in the Okanagan, you’ll want to include some world class wine tours and a trip to Kelowna’s Beyond Wrapture Day Spa.

The community of Okanagan Falls, known locally as OK Falls, is located at the south tip of Skaha Lake and seven kilometers north of Vaseux Lake in South-central B.C. Home to 15 premier wineries and 600 acres, or 6% of B.C.’s vineyards, OK Falls is B.C.’s second official sub-appellation, and wines produced here are entitled to an exclusive label

As the weather heats up, who can’t wait for another beautiful Okanagan summer — with wine! Hopefully pandemic restrictions will ease as the B.C. vaccination program is in full swing. Getting out and about will likely be top of mind for many people.

As the cooler weather begins, our bodies begin to crave comfort food. Soups, stews and braises are in order now and this change definitely makes the end of summer more palatable.

‘Tis the season to light a fire, break out the sweaters and snuggle up under a blanket. Red wine is the go-to choice for cooler weather, and enjoying a glass by a roaring fire, or with dinner, is sure to help create the perfect cozy vibe to get you through the long winter.

Which libation is synonymous with celebration, happiness and love? You got it – it’s bubbles baby!  And luckily, the BC wine world has corks flying as more and more of our wineries have chosen to get their sparkle on. Lunching with bubbles is one of my favorite ways to celebrate life and what pairs best with BC sparkling wine? A patio!
