The annual Unkcork the Sun event takes place Friday in Oliver and will showcase amazing culinary delights and local wine. 

The event will also feature a live concert from 6 to 10 p.m.

“It will be a pleasure to showcase the 39 wineries of Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country at this annual event that draws both locals and visitors,” said OOWA executive director Jennifer Busmann.

Tickets for Uncork the Sun cost $30 for adults, $15 for students and children under eight are free. Tickets include a souvenir wine glass, five tasting tickets which can be used for both food or wine and live entertainment.

“There is no better way to celebrate summer in the Wine Capital of Canada and support the Oliver Sunshine Festival than attending a fun, interactive wine tasting event like this one,” Busmann said. 

The event is a fundraiser for the Oliver Sunshine Festival held from Aug. 17 to 20. 

A limited number of tickets are available for the event and can be purchased in advance at the Oliver Visitor Centre and the Oliver Community Centre, as well as at the gate while quantities last.
