The Okanagan's quietest and most intimate wine festival combines winter sports with wine culture across the valley's ski resorts and city restaurants. Events include fondue and wine pairings at Big White Ski Resort, winemaker dinners in Kelowna, and icewine tastings at wineries dusted in snow. A peaceful contrast to the summer and harvest crowds.
