Host: Covert Farms Family Estate Winery
Tasting the Okanagan Through the Ages is an event created through the South Okanagan Food & Drink Experience Development Program which occurred between September 2021 - January 2022 in partnership with TOTA, Destination BC, and the Culinary Tourism Alliance.
Join Chef Aman Dosanj of the Paisley Notebook pop-up series for an immersive dining experience on Covert Farm's 650-acre, fourth-generation farm. The event will guide guests through a multi-course food and wine paired sensory journey of our bountiful region.
The night will begin with a welcome reception, where guests can take their seat and enjoy free time to play farm games and explore.
Next, hop aboard Covert Farm’s vintage cherry red trucks for an open-air tour of the regenerative farm and vineyards.
Discuss the rich history of the Syilx Okanagan Nation and neighboring Indigenous cultural site, nʕaylintn, and then forage for traditional plants, some of which will be featured in the night’s dishes.
Hear stories from the family’s four generations farming this land – from 1959, when people laughed at George Covert for purchasing this “desert-like piece of land” to the certified organic, biodynamic, and regenerative farm and vineyard it is today.
