Oliver, B.C. – As spring descends upon Road 13 Vineyard it’s an exciting time to celebrate our newly released vintages and, fingers crossed, the end of a long winter. The warmer weather brings the season for wine tripping, extended hours and most importantly enjoying fresh, bright, fruit forward whites and rose on sunny patios.
The Easter long weekend marks the opening of the Executive Lounge, a contemporary view-centric space where guests can enjoy a sit-down tasting of the entire Road 13 Vineyards portfolio accompanied by charcuterie boards that includes a selection of meats, cheese, condiments, crackers and bread. Road 13’s ever popular fRose™* – a pink wine slushie, perfect for hot Okanagan summer days, will be on offer in the lounge for and includes a GoVino wine glass to keep.
Easter also marks extended hours at the winery with the hours of 10am to 5:30pm, seven days a week. The Castle, a legacy of the winery’s former owners, offers guests a welcoming venue to sample feature wines at the tasting bar. And who doesn’t love “breakfast wine?” New this year, Road 13 Vineyards is offering a ‘Start Your Day‘ tour, inviting guests to get an early start on their wine tasting day. The $25 tour begins at 9:30am and includes a tour of the sparkling cave and barrel room followed by a tasting in the lounge with fresh baked pastries.
Guests looking to add a little sparkle to their visit can join the ‘Sparkling Cave‘ tour, daily at 11am. Learn the traditional method of sparkling winemaking while sipping on Road 13’s ultra popular Sparkling Chenin Blanc. The $40 tour also includes the barrel cellar and an Executive Lounge tasting complete with charcuterie board.
