While visiting the Okanagan Valley, experience three unique industries in one day on this unique Wine, Brew, and Spirits Tour. Start the day by hopping on a shuttle departing from the Ramada Penticton Hotel and Suites at 9:15am or the Penticton Lakeside Resort at 9:30am.
A short ride later, arrive at a popular winery in the Okanagan region. Enjoy the stunning views overlooking Skaha lake while tasting their wines and exploring their natural rock cellar and barrel room. Depending on the time of year, it could be possible to experience a rare barrel tasting.
About an hour later, take a 20-minute ride to Upper Bench Winery and Creamery, where they hand-craft both wine and cheese on site. Enjoy a perfectly paired tasting of both their wine and cheese and learn about the processes involved in making these two products.
Thenits off to Bad Tattoo Brewing, one of the newest and fastest-growing breweries in British Columbia. Have lunch, a brewery tour, and a tank tasting. Sample their many craft brews from traditional ale, pilsners, and lagers, to seasonal specialties such as Midnight Hopmare Black IPA and Waes Hael.
At 2pm, fortified with food and brew, journey to Maple Leaf Spirits on the famous Naramata Bench. Taste award-winning Artisan Spirits from 100 percent British Columbia fruit and grapes and take a tour of their small-batch, artisan craft distillery. Taste some of the finest European style fruit brandies, spirits, and liqueurs. Enjoy a delicious seasonal fruit and spirits dessert to top off the day. The tour of Maple Leaf Spirits can be offered in English, German, or French.
A 15-minute drive heads back to the hotel about 4pm.
It doesnt have to end there, however. There's an encore, if desired. Add on a 3-course, wine-paired dinner at the Hooded Merganser Restaurant, located on Pentictons beautiful waterfront, directly beside the Penticton Lakeside Resort (see second tour option). No transportation is provided.
