Wednesday June 14, Tola and I got tired of the constant wind and drove to Keremeos to pick up some fresh cherries. Rather than returning through Princeton, we decided to return through Penticton and Kelowna. So this is of interest to members from that area. I would say "over the hill" from Kamloops but I got called on that once before.
The news...The Greata Ranch has finally finished their extensive renovation and Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards have opened an excellent bistro, both inside and outside seating with an excellent view of the lake.They have done a great job, from the glasses for red or white wine to comfortable cutlery. All tables with a view. A good menu. We had a charcutery meat and cheese plate. A variety of cheeses including an excellent soft cheese from Kelowna, smoked sausage and two types of prosciutto, olives, pickles and a bread plate. It was more than the two of us could finish. That plus a glass of local wine made for a great early dinner.
All in all it was a pleasant surprise as we have driven past their closed for renovations sign for years and to find such an excellent place minutes south of Peachland added to the surprise. Enjoy.
