Winecrush Restaurant Week slated for Penticton
Winecrush in Penticton is partnering with the Penticton & Wine Country Chamber of Commerce on a new event focused on locallysourced menu items served at local restaurants from Feb. 17-26.
Restaurants in the Penticton area have come on board to support the cause. In the coming weeks it will become extremely popular for restaurants to feature new dishes, prix fix menu’s, and petites of their current dishes to attract new guests, and allow chefs to feature new ‘trial’ menu items. Organizers expect many of the participants to offer a multi course prix fix menu.
Diners can select from 3-4 appetizers, 4-5 entrees, and 2-3 deserts. This will later be shared with guests and tourists of the Okanagan to get the best Okanagan Wine Country experience.
Winecrush Restaurant Week will be in support of three local charities: the Chamber’s business scholarship, Penticton Breakfast Club, and South Okanagan Similkameen Medical Foundation. All proceeds will be donated equally, including the $100 restaurant participation fee and the event sponsorships.
“Local community support is imperative to kick-off the upcoming season and enhance the tourist experience of what the Okanagan offers,” said organizer Duane Pinkney.
