It suddenly feels like autumn, doesn’t it?
There are always those few days when the weather changes and even though we’ll probably have another week or two of warm weather before November hits, the hoodies are already out.
To prepare for the plethora of fall events leading up to the impending grape harvest and crush, here are a few to put in the calendar as we slowly begin to migrate indoors (for something other than the air quality).
Feast: Cookbook Writing from Dreaming to Doing, Sept. 1 (part of the Ryga Festival in Summerland)
If you’ve ever thought that you could write a cookbook, you can learn from authors Lindsay Anderson and Dana VanVeller. They've visited every province and territory to create the bestselling book Feast: Recipes and Stories from a Canadian Road Trip.
Join the workshop and share your own recipes and food stories and you receive practical guidance how to write about food and cooking.
Naramata Tailgate Party, Sept. 8 (sold out long ago)
If you missed out, ticket holders sometimes list a few for sale. And for next year, be sure you are on the Naramata Bench Association’s email list so you get a notification early in the summer when sales begin.
It's an evening celebration featuring distinctive wine tastings from 28 Naramata wineries with local cuisine and live music, to celebrate the coming of harvest.
Revival Wine, Food, & Music Festival at Hester Creek, Sept. 15 (postponed from the summer)
Hester Creek is celebrating 50 years, and this event is an outdoor, family-friendly music fest with music and food trucks. Bring a blanket and enjoy an early fall picnic.
Can’t make it? Take in the Garlic Festival at the winery on Sept. 29.
Fall Westjet Wine Tasting, Sept. 29: a kick-off signature event for the Okanagan Fall Wine Festival
This year, this grand consumer tasting will be at the Kelowna International Airport in the brand-new Carson Air hangar. The event will have the largest capacity of any indoor wine tasting in the Okanagan.
Heritage Fall Fair at the Grist Mill and Gardens, Sept. 23
If you’re into preserves, baking, crafts, or grow great veggies, there will be almost 100 exhibit categories to see or compete in as well as heritage games of skill, concessions, entertainment and more.
The whole site will be filled with family-oriented activity for the day.
Festival of the Grape, Oliver, Sept. 30
If you attended last year, you might have witnessed Rick Mercer stomping grapes. With more than 50 wineries, a dozen food trucks, 60 vendors in the marketplace, a kids activity area, live music on the main stage, it’s a lovely afternoon for the whole family.
That should be enough to get you through September, till the fall wine festival, harvest parties, and wine dinners are in full swing.
