Stella cherries

Comments

The fattest, blackest, crispest, juiciest cherries you'll ever taste are the Stellas grown at Elephant Island Orchard Wines in Naramata. Buckets have made their way into local restaurants; including the Five Sails (999 Canada Place), La Régalade (2232 Marine Drive, West Vancouver), Salt Tasting Room (Blood Alley), and Aurora Bistro (2420 Main Street); for chefs to conjure up desserts and preserves. Or try a glass of the luscious Stellaport port-style wine ($30 to $35 for 375 millilitres) made from the same cherries, from private wine stores including Liberty Wine Merchants in the Net Loft at Granville Island, where rumour has it a large basket of Stella cherries will be out for sampling.
