The Summer Wine and Food Festival is set to take place at SilverStar Mountain Resort and it is expected to be another sellout year.

The three-day feast for the senses will take place Aug. 12 to 14 and will include lively bluegrass and country music by the Tops and feature 30 wineries from across the Okanagan Valley. Events for this year include the Winemasters’ Dinners, Know Your Farmer cooking demos, olive oil seminars, and the Mile high Wine and Music Festival.

The weekend starts on Fri. Aug. 12 with the Volcanic Hills Winemaster dinner, where guests can drink in breathtaking views of the Monashees along with wine pairings from the award-winning West Kelowna winery.  

“Diners will enjoy a delectable five-course meal prepared by SilverStar’s chef, Scott Sanderson, accompanied by specially selected vintages,” explained organizers. “Saturday night after the Mile High festivities, it is an evening of culinary indulgence with a five-course Gastro informal wine dinner sponsored and hosted by BC Wine Shop with Kelowna guest chef Giulio Piccioli along with chef Scott Sanderson and the SilverStar culinary team, and topped off with an exquisite cheese course presented by David Beaudoin of Dairy Farmers of Canada. Then complete the weekend with Sunday brunch at the Red Antler with Okanagan Crush Pad / Haywire wines.”

More than 500 guests are expected to take in the weekend events and tickets will likely sell out fast.
