Among the highlighted experiences for this year’s Okanagan Fall Wine Fest are vintage wine tastings, live jazz, silent auctions, and grazing-style dinners. Oh, and curated ‘TASTE Passports’ that take you to six participating wineries in the Valley for an exclusive tasting experience, available from 12 to 5 p.m. on weekends that the festival runs.
Each passport is priced at $65 and can be picked up from any of the participating wineries.
