There’s something special about enjoying a glass of wine in the South Okanagan. The region is among the best in North America for grape growing and it’s easy to see the love and passion that goes into crafting these local vintages. In fact, when Black Hills Estate Winery launches their annual Nota Bene vintage, it is a celebration that you won’t want to miss.
