Orofino and the wineries of the Similkameen Wineries Association would like to invite you to a unique evening of fine food and Similkameen wines. Winery principles from all 8 association wineries will be on hand to walk you through the wines of the Similkameen Valley. Should be a lot of fun and the menu below promises to be very delicious. Hope to see you there!
