Ahhhhhhhh.....the Okanagan Valley. So dear to our hearts. We got married at Summerhill Winery http://www.summerhill.bc.ca/ in Kelowna on September 3rd 2009, and it was simply perfection! If you are ever in town, you must go for dinner and enjoy some of their amazing wines. Known as one of the largest Organic Wineries in North America...they are famous for their Cypes Brute, a favorite of ours. This Winery has a very cool story..which I won't spoil for you...be sure to go and take the wine tour...which concludes with a tasting of course! Also the Sunday brunch is amazing (must make a reso first)...only during the warm season, it is a buffet..but a very upscale buffet...leave lots of space in your tummy, grab a seat on the patio overlooking the grape vines and the sparkling lake, and life is but a dream - sweetheaaaart! The Okanagan is truly one of the most beautiful areas in the world...the lake, sprawling vinyards, organic foods, local cheese, what more can you ask for?
Ivan and I drove up from Vancouver last week (approx 4hrs) for a work function at the Delta Grand Hotel (overpriced hotel...but great view from the pool). We decided since we were in town, to extend our trip for the May long weekend.
If I were to get into the detail of each amazing aspect of the Okanagan it would take me forever...and we would miss our tee-off time! So I will leave you with this....when in Kelowna, stop by the Bohemian Cafe http://www.bohemiancater.com/ for brunch. O.J. is fresh squeezed, and their eggs benny (when done soft poached) are to die for..all free range eggs, their hollandaise is amazing...not too thick and curd like (aka white spot slop)...but smooth and creamy and delicious...we get an order of this and an order of their healthy oatmeal blueberry pancakes, which are equally amazing and we split...the best of both worlds.
Isn't it great when you can find a dining partner to share with...so you can try more than one dish! That was actually one of the top items on my list when I was single and looking for a boyfriend...the man of my dreams HAD to be a foodie....and low and behold, I found him.
Enjoy!
