Today Marlyse & Justin are getting hitched at Cedar Creek winery, surrounded by their friends and family, overlooking the gorgeous Okanagan Lake. 

It has been my absolute pleasure to get to know them over the last few months and I wish them a life full of the happiness they exude every day.  Now it's time to party!

California Wine Fair 2009

Would you like the opportunity to taste over 300 wines from 90 Californian wineries? Representatives from wineries in the Napa, Sonoma, and Central Coast regions will be on hand when the California Wine Fair visits Vancouver on Tuesday March 3. [Seven additional Canadian dates are listed on the site].

The event will take place at the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre and promises to be both entertaining and informing. Tickets are currently available from the Arts Club for $65 [$50 Group Rate for 6 or more].

With hors d'oeuvres, live entertainment, and an extensive list of wineries, this event will make for a fantastic evening. Although perfect for a girls night out, California Wine Fest may also assist engaged couples looking to narrow down their wine list.

Cheers.

Tourism Kelowna

While getting my weekly Bachelor fix this evening I was ecstatic to see Kelowna, BC featured in one of the home dates! Adorable Bachelor Jason met the [equally adorable] Jillian's family after spending the afternoon with the bachelorette at gorgeous Mission Hill Winery.


Mission Hill Winery

Let's just say Jillian did Kelowna a great service by making it this far. The show captured some beautiful footage of Kelowna's valley in [what looked like] the Fall.

Spring, Summer, Fall, or even Winter, Kelowna is a Bride's dream. The backdrop speaks for itself and the weather is phenomenal.


Mission Hill Winery

Although [quite unfortunately] Mission Hill does not host weddings, many other wineries in the Okanagan Valley do. As a new Planner to the area I look forward to sharing my findings, experiences, and of course wine recommendations with you. I can't wait for our annual girl's weekend of wine touring this Spring and the many additional trips I will be able to make networking! Stay tuned...

Cheers.
