The Heart of Wine Country™ Sip of Spring event in Kelowna was another memorable evening, bringing together exceptional wine, thoughtful cuisine, and the chance to connect with the winemakers and proprietors who shape this distinctive region. Hosted by the Okanagan Falls Wineries Association, the sold-out event at Manteo at Eldorado Resort unfolded on a beautiful spring evening, offering guests an opportunity to explore new releases while hearing the stories behind the wines from vineyards across Okanagan Falls and Kaleden, and the chance to mingle with our 12 member wineries all in one night.
