The Pig Out Festival is back in South Okanagan today.
This food and wine festival is taking place at the Cellar Door and More in Oliver between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., according to a press release from Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country.
Local chefs are making pork-themed dishes to pair with local wines. Tickets are $109 and guests can enjoy the full boozy culinary experience of all 10 chefs pairing their food with wine from 20 wineries.

Vancouver’s The Paella Guys return with a delicious pork rib and fresh artichoke paella, Rollands Meats will offer delicious dry-cured, hot-smoked British-style bacon served in a soft bun, and Chef Shawn Cheer from Arterra Wines will prepare red wine pork belly with umami slaw and crispy shallots,” Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country said in the release.
