SOUTH SHUSWAP SOJOURN Spend sunny days at Sunnybrae Vineyards and Winery located in the South Shuswap. This seven and a half acre property at the base of Mount Ida and on the shores of Shuswap Lake has benefitted from generations of farming expertise and their sense of place and connection to the landscape is reflected in their bottles. Try the Happy Camper or the Turner Road Red for your next family gathering. Also in the South Shuswap, at the base of Fly Hills, is Recline Ridge, a familyowned winery and vineyard. Enjoy the tasting room and picnic area. The Fly Hills area is a popular hiking spot, in fact, the winery’s parking lot is an unofficial trail head. So bring a picnic and pick up a few cans of Wine2Go, a perfect pairing post hillside expedition.

CENTURY OLD FARMS where HISTORY comes alive The grapes from Waterside Winery, a riverbank vineyard located in Enderby, sip from the river and soak in the sun which makes for premium small lot wines. This century old farm holds a historic place in the community and plays host to many a community event such as their vines and spines bookclub, markets featuring area artisan products and even an easter egg hunt. Eggs of the non-chocolate variety are regularly available from their resident chickens. And consider inviting Shuswap Organics to the party. With their local line up of radish relish, carrot marmalade and tomato jam, the table is better set with them at it. The southern most part of the Shuswap is Armstrong in the Spallumcheen Valley, home to farms and forests and steeped in agricultural history. The Farmstrong Cider Company sits on a picturesque acreage and history comes alive in the making of premium craft ciders from their orchards. The heritage barn now restored, it’s home to meals and markets, tastings and gatherings.

Don’t miss the next cheese and cider pairing featuring the many artisan delicacies of local cheesemakers including the many varieties produced just down the way at Armstrong Village Cheese Co.

BODACIOUS BREWS AND ARTISAN MOONSHINE Crannóg Ales is Canada’s first certified organic farmhouse microbrewery. Located in the South Shuswap community of Sorrento, the brewery sits in the middle of the owners’ Left Fields organic farm. The organic ales are brewed to feature local and seasonal ingredients. Deeply rooted in the Irish tradition of sustainability and resilience, they grow their own hops and the spent grains are used for livestock feed and garden compost. By keg or by growler, their bodacious brew is available at local eateries and pubs, markets and at the farm on designated days. Visit the website for seasonal schedules.

Be sure to make a stop at the Barley Station in Salmon Arm, a family-owned brewpub with housemade beers and yummy eats. Priding themselves on the drinkability of their beer that you can enjoy at their casual pub smack-dab in the middle of town, or take them away by the six pack or the growler for enjoyment at home. Their ever changing selection of limited edition seasonal beer is sure to delight but they sell out quickly so check in often. Popular with the locals, a friendly face always greets you at the Station. Sicamous is well-known for its sunshine but lately, its moonshine is making waves too. Welcome to After Dark Distillery, a new and most welcome addition, their line of vodka, gin and moonshine is made with local grain, mountain water and natural flavours. Their small batch spirits, mashed and fermented by hand are a reminder of artisan ways and simpler days. Try some of their Apple Pie, Root Beer, Espresso, Maple or Peach moonshines and take a jar or two home.

FOODIE FINDS

INSPIRATIONAL LOCAL CULINARY TRADITIONS We all agree that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So, if it’s Sunday, we meet where the sun first hits the waters in the Shuswap, Jack Sam’s Restaurant at Quaaout Lodge and Spa on the traditional territories of the Secwepemc people of the Little Shuswap Lake Indian Band. Inspired by the local culinary traditions such as salmon and berries, bison and bannock, the dining here is “a glorious blend of indigenous ingredients and modernity and genuine hospitality” (FoodDay Canada).

FIVE STAR FARE Five star fare can be found in Falkland at The Rock Eatery so reserve today (it’s required). This little restaurant with big flavours crafts creative cocktails, virtuous veg, meritorious meats and delectable deserts. For a special occasion or an escape from the ordinary, experience this Shuswap landmark.

RICH FOOD FOLKLORE Far less formal, and located on the TransCanada Highway 1 at the Tappen Esso is a coffee shop known for its killer Korean short ribs and homemade spicy sauce. The hosts delight in sharing their authentic meals with their pleasantly surprised guests. Just ten minutes more and you’re in Downtown Salmon Arm, as charming as it is compact. Within three small city blocks is to be found a world of flavours - Italian, Indian, Vietnamese, Japanese, Thai, Parisian, Mexican and old-fashioned homemade pies. Our first stop is Hanoi 36 on Hudson Avenue, inspired by the food vendors in the 36 quarter of the North Vietnamese city. Working with local suppliers and producers, the restaurant is a tribute to community — both the historic roots and the new roots the family is building in Salmon Arm — through a rich food folklore.
