'Our family has deep roots in the world of travel, food, and wine. It has always been what has brought us together, and it never leaves us short of discussion. When we discovered the Okanagan, we felt like the luckiest people in the world. An area with perfect seasonal weather, rich local produce, world class wine, and best of all, only in its infant stage. We spent a lot of time discovering all the wonders on offer here. It didn't take long for us to know that we want to share our passion, and enjoyment of the area, and it's magnificently talented artisans.’
