Holiday Tasting Nights by the Lake

Make it mer­ry with two excep­tion­al hol­i­day tast­ing events, where twin­kling lights, great flavours, and good com­pa­ny come togeth­er by the lake.
  • Bottles of Lightning Rock wine displayed beside glowing candles at Summerland Waterfront Resort, highlighting local partners Lightning Rock Winery and Detonate Brewing featured in the resort’s Sips & Snacks and Suds & Snacks holiday tasting events.

You're invited! Gather your people, slip into your sequins (or your best ugly sweater), and get ready for a night of good food, local flavour, and Christmas sparkle.
