What’s happening this Fall at Mission Hill – Culinary Workshops

I recently travelled to Kelowna for a family wedding and while I was there I just had to fit in a visit to Mission Hill Family Estate. We had a wonderful visit and grand tour with Head Sommelier Bram Bolwijn. You would not believe all that is happening at Mission Hill. Fall is an ideal time to visit and many of the exclusive offerings continue right through December.

I learned so much information about everything that is happening at Mission Hill that I couldn’t possibly put it all in our feature article; instead follow along while I introduce you to some incredible upcoming events and opportunities for every wine lover. Dynamics of Food & Wine series is a must!

Up to 30 guests will have the opportunity to observe the kitchen team prepare a fabulous meal. This is a chance to learn more about culinary techniques from the pros by observing the team at work in a professional kitchen. You won’t miss a thing because in addition to what you will see behind the glass there will be two large screens at each end of the room to allow you to follow along step by step. Then finally you get to enjoy the exquisite dishes pairing with Mission Hill wines. Such a fabulous not to be missed experience.

The Culinary Classes sell out quickly, book today to avoid disappointment.
