Tantalize your taste buds and become a wine connoisseur

More wine and dine time
The Okanagan is wine country, so hit the wine route on the Naramata Bench and stop for tastings at local favourites Lake Breeze Winery and Elephant Island Winery.

If you really want to impress at your next dinner party, the Naramata Unfiltered Wine Education Retreat is just what you need. Spend the day with wine connoisseur Rhys Pender, who will teach you everything you need to know about pairing wines with food. Pender teaches in a way that's fun, easy and not-at-all pretentious. Unfiltered also offers behind-the-scenes access to blending sessions and cellar tastings with the winemakers at renowned wineries such as Laughing Stock and Joie. To further indulge your taste buds, a dinner at God's Mountain B&B in Penticton with Joy Road Catering is a must. Dine outdoors on local seasonal cuisine, fabulously prepared, while overlooking Skaha Lake and a Riesling vineyard. Plus, Thursday night dinners showcase a different local winemaker each week.

All in all, the Okanagan has all the ingredients you need to concoct a divine girls' getaway. Take a peek at this slideshow about food and fun in B.C.'s Okaganan Valley and get inspired to start planning your trip with the ladies.
