Celebrating its 22nd year, family and friends gather for the spectacular Wine Capital of Canada Festival Weekend to celebrate the region’s cornucopia of food and wine.

With 50 wineries, many from Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country, gather with food trucks and artisans to entertain the 4,000 strong crowd, Festival of the Grape is the largest outdoor festival in the region. The festival takes place on Sunday September 30. The family friendly festival will include live music from Big Easy Funk Ensemble, a fall art show, interactive kids zone, live entertainment and of course, the highlight: a very competitive Grape Stomp. Tickets include a festival entry, souvenir wine glass and three tasting token.

Other weekend highlights include the third annual Oliver Cask & Keg, Hester Creek Garlic Festival and Oliver Twist Estate Winery’s Crush Party all taking place on Saturday September 29,
