Wineries for the Holidays 2026: November 21 - SAVE THE DATE!
Updated: Nov 1
Join us for a festive one-day celebration where Lake Country wineries each host their own unique holiday experience. It’s your chance to explore, taste, and toast your way through the Okanagan, creating a day that’s entirely your own.
What to Expect at Wineries for the Holidays:
On Saturday, November 21st, 2026 the Scenic Sip Wine Trail transforms into a winter wonderland of local wine, food, and community connection. Each winery will feature a one-of-a-kind experience designed to spark holiday cheer.
How It Works:
Each winery will host its own individual experience with its own entry fee.
Prices vary, so you can customize your day based on what interests you most.
Choose your own route — there’s no single ticket or fixed itinerary.
