On this week's podcast, we are on location at Mission Hill Family Estate in West Kelowna, just in time for the annual holiday celebrations. Over more than forty years of operation, Mission Hill has continued to evolve by adopting sustainable farming practices, creating exceptional tasting and culinary experiences at the estate, and making a significant contribution to the Okanagan’s reputation on the world stage. We are joined by Chief Winemaker Taylor Whelan, who discusses Holidays on the Hill and the winery’s recent accolade as the 2025 Wine Align National Wine Awards Canadian Winery of the Year. Senior Estate Manager Charlie Drummond will talk about the Boutique at Mission Hill and the Festival of Trees, featuring beautifully decorated trees displayed throughout the winery, where guests can admire the festive designs and vote for their favourite tree through January 4. Chef de Cuisine Heather Brumwell shares insights on culinary classes, holiday dining, and winter at the estate. Additionally, Guest & VIP Experience Manager Bram Bolwijn discusses the winery's Iconic Experiences.
