Just returned from a very successful Fall Wine Festival Tour - the tour itself consisted of 3 nights accommodation and 4 days of activities including two rounds of golf but the real highlight was the 2 Winemaker's Dinners.
The first was at Burrowing Owl Winery and the evening started with wonderfully paired appetizers served in the wine cellar with the sounds of a harp softly playing in the background - it was an extraordinary experience really. Then, the dinner was 4 courses featuring such items as "Brandy infused Bisque" paired with 2007 Chardonnay" - a simply delightful evening - with everyone very pleased with the food and the experience as a whole.
The second night - we travelled from Osoyoos to See Ya Later Ranch in Okanagan Falls. The trip itself did seem a little long but the meal once again was simply delicious. This evening featured library wines from the See Ya Later Ranch and Hawthorne Mountain Vineyards(some of my personal favorites) and wonderful food such as Pan Seared Queen Charlotte Sable fish - an evening to remember for some time!! a bit smaller, more intimate crowd and a night none of us will soon forget .
Most are already asking about next year, which speaks for itself in terms of having a great break from reality right here at home in the Okanagan.
