A WINE LIST LIKE NO OTHER
Forget the best wine list in the Okanagan, Western Living magazine thinks ours just might be the best in the province. Hats off to our wonderful wine director, Emily Walker, for creating a wine list worth driving for.
$25 RESTAURANT RESERVATION NO-SHOW FEE
This summer saw an unprecedented number of guests who simply did not show up for their reservations. Naramata Inn had the food, cocktails, wine and staff ready. The Inn had a wait list of guests we had to turn down. And then there was a whole bunch of empty tables — as many as 40% of our reservations some nights.
It made a year full of business challenges even more trying. As a result, just like hotels, airlines, and the majority of service businesses, Naramata Inn has now implemented a “no-show” fee of $25 per person if guests do not cancel their reservations 24-hours in advance. Guests need to provide credit card information at time of booking.
Don’t stress, no charge will be made if you:
a.) show up, or
b.) cancel within the 24-hour window.
BC VACCINE CARD LAUNCHES PROVINCE-WIDE
The Province of British Columbia now requires proof of vaccination to access certain higher-risk social and recreational events and businesses to help protect people from COVID-19. Naramata Inn falls into this category and we are pleased to follow government regulations and support community efforts to bid COVID-19 farewell.
In a nutshell, here’s how it will work:
All guests over the age of 12 will need to have their BC Vaccine Card ready to show staff, along with government-issued photo ID (those under 18-years-old can skip this step). They will be looking at both.
Your BC Vaccine Card can be shown to the team on your smartphone, or you can print out a paper copy to show instead. Smartphones can hold multiple BC Vaccine Cards. (You already know this, moms.)

HARVEST WEEKEND FEAST
Seasonal Menu Served Friday, October 8 through Sunday, October 10
Bring the family and join Naramata Inn to celebrate the bounty of the Okanagan with a harvest menu offering that includes all the favourites.

Think brown butter roasted squash soup with crème fraîche and local sumac; JD Farms turkey breast, roasted Brussels sprouts, Summerland carrots, Robuchon potatoes and roasted turkey gravy. Save room for the pumpkin pie tart and house-made maple syrup ice cream.
Book your table now as reservations for the long weekend are in high demand.

RECIPE: NAKED OYSTERS
Whiskey, Soy, Black Pepper & Kelp Mignonette
There is just no better way to start a dinner than a dozen fresh oysters. Perfect. Naked. Mother Nature’s real fast food. Oysters are filter feeders and all they need is a clean ocean to get their nutrients.
Choose your favourite kind of oyster — Chef Ned loves a perfect Pacific oyster from the Outlandish Shellfish Guild, or a stellar Malpeque from Prince Edward Island for those east coasters. Truthfully, any premium fresh cocktail size oyster will do.
Pro Tip: Did you know, Naramata Inn can bring in oysters for any special occasions? Just give our team 3-days notice to order from our BC suppliers on the coast.
A Bold Mignonette
Ingredients:
· 1/2 cup whiskey
· 2 whole shallots peeled and fine diced
· 1/8 cup of soy sauce, Chef Ned likes (gluten-free) tamari
· 2 tbsp flaked dried kelp
Seaweed is a super food that adds a spectacular briny umami to the mignonette
· 1 tbsp finely cracked black pepper
Method:
· Place all ingredients in a mason jar (with lid) and shake well to combine flavours
Serve:
– Top freshly shucked oysters with mignonette and fleur de sel
– Slurp and repeat
Pro-tip: This mignonette would also make a delicious sauce by adding 2 tbsp of butter and quickly warming it in a pot over medium heat. Pour it over any barbecued fish.
