The much-anticipated festival will feature art, music, unique wine education seminars, dinners and an outdoor wine tasting. By combining outdoor recreation, the visual and culinary arts with wine, the Okanagan Summer Wine Festival is fast becoming one of the main attractions of the summer wine tourism season.
"To be the venue for this unique wine festival is a perfect fit as we continue to develop our summer season – we look forward to hosting wine tourists from around the world" said Anne Haight, Silver Star's Marketing Manager. "The fantastic weather we are experiencing this summer should bode well for record attendance."
The opportunity to offer an intimate wine festival during the peak summer tourism season has proven to be a hit with wine tourists who are looking for something different during the peak summer season in Okanagan Wine Country.
The 2006 Okanagan Summer Wine Festival at Silver Star Mountain Resort will offer a wide variety of wine and food-related events spanning over 3 nights and 2 days along with a unique Art Gallery.
