On Saturday, September 13, the 25 member wineries of the Naramata Bench Wineries Association will gather for the Okanagan's wine and food event of the fall season.

The 1950s-themed Naramata Bench Wineries Association Tailgate Party will take place at Poplar Grove Winery from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Tailgate partygoers will enjoy wine from the Naramata Bench wineries, a menu of gourmet local cuisine created by seven talented chefs from Naramata Bench restaurants, and live '50s music in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the Naramata-shot film, My American Cousin.

Set in 1959 in Naramata, the film was written and directed by Sandy Wilson, who will be on hand for the festivities along with some of the film's original cast and crew.

Wear a 1950s outfit and be in the running for a best costume prize.

Tickets are priced at $95 and can be purchased online or by phone at 1-800-663-1900.
