On Friday, June 9 Okanagan Wine Festivals invite you to experience incredible newly released whites, reds and roses from 30 of BC's top wine producers, at the Okanagan Spring Wine Festivals' Grand Tasting South, presented by Valley First. 

This grazing style event, from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM includes wine sampling and small bites from Exceutive Chef Luke Cosgrove and his culinary team. 

Brent Tyler. Big Man. Big Sound. Big Love. will be hand hand to provide live music.

Brent Tyler is a seven-foot paradox. Tyler’s intricate guitar style combined with a soulful presence and elastic vocal range contrast his obvious football frame. A voice that bellows the foundation, yet dynamically delicate and sincere, Tyler balances the subtlety of honest and introspective folk music with soulful hooks and melodies born of his childhood dreams and contemporary crushes. Tyler's music is lyrically textured with real life. Honesty and love, hope and healing. 

Imagine Dave Matthews and John Mayer were sipping whiskey spinning James Taylor and Martin Sexton records at Jack Johnson’s beach house.

You won't want to miss one of the first wine events of summer.

Sip into Summer at the Grand Tasting.
