Branching Out

The swollen-fruit orchards and rolling hills of twisted vines might make you think everything in the Okanagan is business as usual, but peel back a layer and you’ll see that the new boutique winery going in next to CedarCreek is going to reset the benchmark for hands-off, lowintervention pinot noir. The Valley is also fast becoming a destination for killer slow-pour craft cocktails, and while farm-to-table feels like it originated here, there are those who are pushing the envelope even further (or closer, rather), with sourced-from-the-trees-above dinners that have a fresh Indian twist. So take the weekend, pack our grape guide and see why everything in the OK just keeps getting better.

Farm Meets Table Valley chef Aman Dosanj creates a magical dinner under pear trees and twinkle lights at Claremont Ranch Organics (and shares her recipes, too) starting on page 52.
