Delicious News and Summer Recipes for Naramata’s ‘Inn’ Crowd

The Restaurant at Naramata Inn turned one on June 29. In a challenging year, faced with a pandemic, travel restrictions and a record smashing heatwave, the hardworking and creative teams persevered to serve up hyper-local, ingredients and incredible local wines and spirits at the beautiful, historic inn. ⁠The challenges of the last year make the happy guests, great reviews, and media recognition from Canada’s 100 Best,, Western Living’s Foodies of the Year ranking, Food and Wine Magazine’s top places to travel, and enRoute Magazine’s top 10 all the sweeter. Thanks to everyone who supported, dined, drank and lifted Naramata Inn up.⁠
