Concurrent Dinners on Bottleneck Drive for Wine and Dine

Concurrent Dinners on Bottleneck Drive for Wine and Dine

To its list of attractions such as small-town hospitality, stunning scenery, and award-winning products, Bottleneck Drive members are adding a host of concurrent dinners for Wine and Dine, June 21 and 22. It is an adjunct to the ever-popular Grand Sommelier Express, which sells out quickly each year.

This special train ride combines an authentic locomotive experience on the historic Kettle Valley Rail paired with a collection of Bottleneck Drive’s amazing wine and food experts. If you weren’t one of the lucky folks to snap up tickets early, these concurrent dinners offer another great option to explore Bottleneck Drive.

Why not kick off your summer event season with unique experiences and collaboration between participating members to spice up your Friday or Saturday – or both? Choose from poutine and bubbles, dim sum dining, or an Argentinian BBQ dinner with a range of price points. Tickets are limited so secure your dinner plans soon.
