The 2024 Okanagan Fall Wine Festival Celebrates the Most Bountiful Time of the Year.

October 18 through 27th we’re all invited to celebrate the bounty of the beautiful Okanagan Valley this October at the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival.

Traditionally a celebration of the grape harvest, this year’s Festival will focus on the storytellers behind the products that we enjoy from our farms and orchards.

This year, many of BC’s winemakers will be crafting their wines with grapes grown elsewhere due to the severe winter damage, but there is still reason to celebrate what is in our glasses and on our plates.

From October 18th through 27th, the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival along with partners throughout the valley, will host a series of events and experiences sure to appeal to the wine and food enthusiast.

Fall Wine

On Saturday, October 19th , explore six of Lake Country’s Scenic Sip Wine Trail wineries as they deliver curated wine and culinary pairings as part of the TASTE Series. Your pass includes a small bite perfectly paired with a BC wine.

CROPPED is back by popular demand. On Friday, October 25th , Valley First presents CROPPED Kelowna. This ever-popular harvest season event returns to downtown Kelowna at Revelry Food and Music Hub. Experience an evening exploring some of your favourite BC wineries and discovering new ones.

Also features culinary bites by Revelry’s very own Chef Kacia and local artisan producers. Your ticket includes a welcome cocktail, two beverage tickets, and live entertainment by the amazing Ben Dunnill.

As well as their  Signature Events, there will be several special events hosted by individual partners throughout the Okanagan Valley including OC Cultivate at Okanagan College in Penticton.

With Halloween around the corner, check out the Monster Mash 80’s Bash at Sandhill Wines on October 26th .
