The 10th Annual Icewine Festival kicked off Monday in Sun Peaks, BC.
What started as a small festival back in 1998 has grown in size and prestige. It's sponsored by the Okanagan Wine Festivals and American Express.
Tourism British Columbia has identified the festival as the first signature event of 2008 that commemorates BC's 150th Anniversary.
Let the party begin!
I attended the festival several years ago near Kamloops, enjoying the seminars and dinners. But the main tasting events seemed to be overcrowded, with long lines.
Hopefully that's been resolved.
New features this year include an Icewine and Oyster Bar, constructed of snow and ice and featuring Icewine martinis.
Fire dancers are scheduled to perform at Sun Peaks' Village Square on Friday, January 18 from 7-9 PM.
