Imagine skiing or snowboarding in the morning and being hosted to an amazing array of wine events in the afternoon and evening. From wine seminars in an executive kitchen to an amazing Progressive Wine Tasting, the Winter Festival of Wine is pure indulgence in wine, food, and recreation at Sun Peaks Resort.
Heading into its 13th year, the Winter Festival of Wine continues to expand and surprise the palate with new events. Between January 15 and 23, 2011, guests will enjoy over 20 events that include informative seminars and seasonal dinners, all showcasing selected varietals from Okanagan Wine Country. Nine of the events are brand new to the festival, something event organizers are extremely excited about.
“We are constantly working to expand the diversity of events so both wine newbies and wine connoisseurs can enjoy the festival at one event or another,” says Janice Nankivell, Events Coordinator at Tourism Sun Peaks.
Event tickets range from $19 per person (Fire & Ice) to $125 per person (Varietal Showdown & Dinner), or experience the festival with a fantastic getaway package.
