(This story is sponsored by Naramata Bench Wineries Association.)
Mark your calendars to join the Naramata Bench Wineries Association (NBWA) for an evening of great wine, food, live music, and Naramata wine country fun. The renowned annual Tailgate Party is in the heart of Naramata at the Naramata Heritage Inn on Saturday, September 14. Wine enthusiasts are invited to celebrate the harvest at one of the most anticipated wine events of the season. Tickets sell out early every year, so make sure you act soon to avoid disappointment.
There will be 30 wineries from the famed Naramata Bench circling their trucks, which will give guests the opportunity to meet the owners and winemakers who produce some of the most distinctive wines in Canada.
Taste the terroir through the exquisite wines and enjoy delicious tapas from a number of Naramata restaurants. Already confirmed for this year will be chefs’ creations from The Vanilla Pod at Poplar Grove Winery, The Kitchen at Da Silva Winery, The Bistro at Hillside Winery, Smugglers Smoke House at Red Rooster Winery, The Patio at Lake Breeze Vineyards, The Oven at Upper Bench Estate Winery, and 1908 Restaurant & Lounge at the Naramata Heritage Inn.
Those familiar with the event know that every Tailgate Party has a theme, and this year is no exception. In a nod to the area’s early days, the Roaring Twenties, costumes are welcomed. If you like to dress up in your finest Roaring Twenties attire, there will be prizes for the best ones. And although you may have needed a password to get into speakeasies during Prohibition, you just need your ticket to get into this celebration of Naramata wines.
This is the wine and food event of the season for wine enthusiasts to plan an Okanagan Fall wine tour around. Tickets are $130 and are on sale now.
The Naramata Bench Wineries Tailgate Party takes place from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, September 14, at the Naramata Heritage Inn (3625 1st Street). For more information or to purchase tickets, visit the website or call the direct ticket line at 1-800-656-0713 and ask for the Tailgate Party.
