Hosted at Cellar Door & More in Oliver on Saturday May 2, the Pig Out Festival brings together local and guest chefs as well as British Columbia’s top butchers, alongside the region’s award-winning winemakers. Guests can look forward to an afternoon of bold flavours, great wine and good times, surrounded by budding vines and views of the Black Sage Road and Golden Mile.
“Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country is one of those places where the wine, food and community come together in a way that feels really special,” says Jennifer Busmann, executive director of Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country. “I’m especially thrilled this year to welcome award-winning B.C. butchers to the festival, alongside a host of local and guest chefs – more to be announced soon!”
This year’s theme, “Let’s Feast,” will be at the heart of all festivities, from winery station themes and unique menu twists to family activities and more. The star of the show? A feast of meats and more, thanks to support from B.C. Meats for B.C. Families. Chefs will prepare dishes throughout the site, celebrating the diverse flavours and culture of the Okanagan. Attendees can enjoy regional wines and craft beverages, an artisan market, live theatre, culinary demonstrations and space for the whole family to enjoy. Round trip transportation is available from Oliver, Osoyoos and Penticton, for $25 + tax per guest.
New for 2026, guests can opt for a brand new VIP experience ($124.99 + tax), offering early entry and exclusive access to an outdoor lounge with craft cocktails, artisanal beverages, library wines, live music, and culinary demonstrations. VIPs will also enjoy an up-close look at butchery and BBQ skills from Canadian Butcher Team member Ronnie Keely and the winner of B.C.’s Best Butcher Competition, Michael Hecken. Each VIP ticket includes a welcome gift with promotions from B.C. meat specialty shops, participating wineries, favourite recipes, and more.
Kick off the Pig Out Festival weekend with the Guest Chef Dinner ($129.99 + tax) on Friday, May 1st, 2026, at Sweetgrass Restaurant at Nk’Mip Cellars in Osoyoos.
