As a forerunner to the
fully integrated Wine Tourism business, a group of wineries and tourism
operators saw the opportunity 20 years ago to develop a tourism event around
the young wineries in existence at the time. The Annual event was originally
focused on developing awareness of the wine industry among local Okanagan
residents and to celebrate the harvest of grapes and pair fine Okanagan
wines with food at a variety of culinary events.
The Fall Wine Festival's
success paralleled the growth of the wine industry and became a major event
to celebrate the fall harvest amongst Okanagan Valley residents. Over time,
it developed a following from B.C. residents, and then residents of the
Pacific Northwest, and most recently wine lovers from around the world. |
