Back by public demand, Mission Hill Family Estate — the Okanagan Valley’s trailblazing vineyard and Canada’s only five-time winner of the Winery of the Year award — is bringing back its hugely popular culinary demonstrations from late October to mid-December.
Guests are invited to join Mission Hill’s culinary team and wine ambassadors as they give a behind-the-scenes look at how quality ingredients transform into artfully crafted dishes that beautifully complement Mission Hill’s world-renowned wines.
In the intimate Culinary Theatre, guests will enjoy a front-row-seat dining experience, interacting with the winery’s chefs as they choreograph an innovative tasting menu that pairs with the complexity of Mission Hill’s handcrafted wines.
Each demonstration includes a four-course menu alongside wines from the acclaimed Terroir and Legacy collections.
