This week's show comes to you from the deck at the Summerland Waterfront Resort, where we speak with General Manager Lisa Jaager about why you should consider staying a few nights in Summerland. With numerous fruit stands, wineries, and a stunning waterfront, Summerland is an emerging gem in the Okanagan Valley. Christine Coletta, co-owner of Okanagan Crush Pad Winery, stops by our poolside location to talk about the wines of Haywire and Garnet Valley Ranch, both located in the heart of Summerland. Mason Spink, Winemaker at Dirty Laundry, tells us that the future has never been brighter for the region and the winery. Ron Kubek, Owner of Lightning Rock Winery, never short on a strong opinion, gives us an owner’s perspective on the challenges of shipping wine across the country, as well as a positive forecast for the 2026 growing season. Savannah Swaisland, owner of Grape Savvy Wine Tours, knows wine, and you’ll find that out in her discussion with Anthony about the South Okanagan wineries to visit, with the Okanagan’s only Hop-on Hop-Off transportation service, offering a convenient and affordable way to explore Penticton and the Naramata Bench.
