Spring has arrived in the Okanagan, and with it comes a delicious way to celebrate the season. On Sunday, May 4th, 2025, join us for the TASTE Series – Spring Edition on the Scenic Sip Wine Trail in Lake Country. This event brings together wine lovers, foodies, and anyone looking to enjoy a flavorful day in BC wine country.
Your ticket includes six tasting vouchers from five participating wineries, each offering a thoughtfully curated food and wine pairing that showcases local flavours and the vibrant spirit of spring. You’ll pick up your winery passport on the day of the event, which includes your six vouchers—redeemable at the wineries in any order you choose.
Let’s take a look at what each winery is offering:
Peak Cellars
Pairing: 2021 Gewürztraminer with a Duo of Quiche
The 2021 Gewürztraminer’s aromatic intensity and subtle sweetness beautifully balance the rich, savory flavours of Quiche Lorraine and the earthy spinach notes of Quiche Florentine with Gorgonzola. Its bright acidity cuts through the creaminess, lifting each bite with a refreshing finish. Experience it for yourself!
TASTE Perk: 10% off wine and 25% off merchandise during the event.
Intrigue Wines
Pairing: 2023 Social White with the Social Spring Slider
Sweet peach preserve, tangy whipped goat cheese, and savory prosciutto come together on soft focaccia with peppery arugula. Paired with the vibrant and refreshing Social White, it’s a standout expression of spring.
TASTE Perk: 10% off all wine purchases for ticket holders.
Ex Nihilo Vineyards
Pairing: 2022 Riesling with Pear Mousse Mini Tart
Enjoy a 3oz pour of Ex Nihilo’s zesty Riesling alongside a decadent pear mousse tart, topped with crispy prosciutto, honey, and lemon gelée. It's a playful contrast of sweet and savory with a bright citrus finish.
TASTE Perk: 10% off your purchase of three bottles or more.
Gray Monk Estate Winery
Pairings:
Estate Pinot Gris with a Lemon Parfait Ice Cream Sandwich – citrusy, creamy, and deliciously nostalgic
Odyssey Rosé Brut with a Beurre Noisette Poached Prawn Tartar – delicate, buttery, and refreshingly bubbly
TASTE Perk: 10% off wine and accessories for ticket holders.
50th Parallel Estate Winery
Pairing: Our iconic Cream Puff gets a citrusy twist with yuzu whipped ganache, marshmallow fluff, lemon custard, and coconut-poppy seed streusel. Paired with our 2022 Gewürztraminer, it perfectly balances the dessert’s rich textures and vibrant flavours.
