Wine Tour of Okanagan Valley

This tour offers a weekend of education and wine appreciation after the Autumn harvest. Led by Sommelier, Laurie MacKay, we'll spend a three-day weekend visiting Okanagan wineries, tasting new releases and enjoying fabulous meals.

The wineries have been chosen to offer wine lovers a detailed education of specific concepts in winemaking.  Tasting as we travel, we'll learn about traditional wine-making processes, meet wine-makers with a vision for protecting the eco-system, and experience how the delicate treatment of grapes creates an award-winning wine.

This tour will offer access you've never experienced on a wine tour before.  Highlights include:

• Exclusive access at the winery.  Whenever possible, we'll meet winemakers and learn about their vision.
• Paired, gourmet meals - an education in how to identify pairings that will create an exceptional tasting experience - the ultimate souvenir for a wine lover.
• Non-stop learning - something new about wine  at every stop.

Please join us for a relaxing weekend of wine, food and insight in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. What could be better?

Accommodation

Our accommodations for the weekend are at the full-service, luxury resort - The Cove Lakeside Resort.
