The six-week long Half Corked Marathon Virtual Festivalis a multi-faceted, mixed-reality wine festival, which will bring all the elements and magic of British Columbia’s famed wine run to participants in a safe and responsible way.
This week, we’re focusing on sunshine as we continue to explore Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country’s unique and diverse terroir. Sunshine is an important contributing factor in the winemaking process and has a direct effect on how quickly the fruit ripens.
Our wineries cannot wait to welcome you with open arms and full glasses! A visit to Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country will be different, but our colourful characters, award-winning wines, and authentic wine country experiences are just as captivating and are guaranteed to leave lasting memories.
Join Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country and Moss Scheurkoel of Vinstitute on Tuesday, June 23 at 7pm PT Moss will be discussing two of the primary methods for producing sparkling wine.
Mya Brown, Fairmont Hotels, May 13 winner; Bryant Mao, Hawksworth Restaurant May 20 winner; and Lisa Haley, Sommelier & Management Consultant at Lisa Anne Haley Consulting May 27 winner all go on to compete in the finale TODAY June 3rd.
Wineries are working hard to prepare to open their doors so that they can welcome you to Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country. We encourage you to take a little time to plan your next trip in advance as wineries will be offering new experiences to visitors.
