The Grand Sommelier Express 2027

Wine. Scenery. A heritage steam train. Summerland at its finest.

The Grand Sommelier Express is one of the Okanagan’s most beloved wine events, bringing together top Bottleneck Drive wineries, ciders, craft brews and spirits for an afternoon of tasting, live music and valley views. Guests begin with a lively reception, then step aboard BC’s only heritage steam train for a two-hour journey through orchards, vineyards and the landmark Trout Creek Trestle.

It is elegant, memorable and uniquely Summerland.

Stay tuned for 2027 event details!
