JACKSON TRIGGS
Read moreA state-of-the-art winery, it opened in the summer of 2004 and is run by winemaker Phillip Brown. The building's architecture is a real success: its loft-like stone lobby that separates the production area from the reception area is worth a visit on its own. But, of course, the main reason to visit is to excite your taste buds with good wines. During the summer season, the winery presents a series of concerts at its outdoor amphitheatre. Another winery in the Okanagan, British Columbia.
MEGALOMANIAC
Read moreOwned by John Howard, Megalomaniac is a winery that stands out for its name and its offbeat communication that gently mocks winery owners who put their names on their wines. A very nice property with a tasting room and pleasant wines in white and red, with some reserve and specialty wines (rosé, sparkling...). During your visit, we definitely recommend the guided wine tasting experience and a meal at their restaurant, Megalomaniac Food + Drink.
