Through a strong partnership with OWFS, we have continued to redefine and elevate the guest experience through a variety of new events and product offerings,” says Arlene Schieven, President and CEO of Tourism Sun Peaks. “The steady growth of the festival can be attributed to the perfect combination of the passionate people behind B.C.’s best wines, unique events and the picturesque backdrop of Sun Peaks.”The 19th Sun Peaks Winter Okanagan Wine Festival has been rated as one of Canada’s top winter parties (MSN.ca).
