"Sip, savour & save", is the harbinger of good food, good wine, and great value in the Thompson/Okanagan for the next three weeks especially!  More than 50 local restaurants are participating to bring you set menu options that showcase their chefs and specialty dishes.  Priced at $15, $25, or $35, each option features 3 courses to fit any budget and tantalize your taste buds!  Here at Lakeshore Bed & Breakfast, we are delighted to assist our guests in choosing a restaurant.  Each of the restaurants has a suggested wine pairing to bring out the absolute best in their dishes and so you don't even have to worry about the wine selection.  Talk about being pampered!  So don't let this opportunity slip past without taking your palate out for a gastronomic treat.  You do deserve it!

Do you dream of being serenaded under the stars on a beautiful Okanagan Summer evening, lost in the ambience of a castle on a hill with a view that just doesn't quit and a glass of wine in your hand that is liquid magic?  It could come true!  The Canadian Tenors are performing at Mission Hill Family Estate Winery on August 13 and you could be there!  Make it a truly romantic weekend and include a stay at one of our excellent Bed & Breakfasts for the weekend.  By the way, it just happens to be a full moon that night!

If you don't have your tickets already.....don't wait.  From Jennifer Smith's article in the Kelowna Capital News, "What would go better with a Chris Isaak concert than a glass of wine?"  We agree with Jennifer and encourage you to experience a very special evening that has all the potential to be one of your best memories of the summer of 2011!  So mark August 21st on your calendar and then go to the Select Your Tickets website to get your reservation.  If you need a place to stay near Mission Hill Winery, check out the local Bed & Breakfasts and experience more of what summer in the Okanagan offers you!
