Sept. 30-Oct. 9, 2011

This year’s edition of the extremely popular Fall Okanagan Wine Festival will offer more than 165 wine and culinary events throughout the valley.  The 10-day Festival is the only such event in North America to be held in the midst of harvest.

Events include everything from vineyard tours or lunch among the vines, to dining on a waterfront patio or joining in a seminar about food-and-wine pairings from award-winning Okanagan chefs.

The Fall Wine Festival is ranked among the top 100 events by the American Bus Association, and it is growing every year, with new wines, new wineries, and new events.  Some of this year’s events include:

• Friday, 30 September, 2011 – WestJet Wine Tastings (Sept. 30 & Oct. 1)
