Chocolate. Wine. Vineyard views. Yes, please.

Join us on the vineyard patio for The Chocolate Project, a relaxed and flavour-filled tasting experience designed to spark your curiosity (and satisfy your sweet tooth). You’ll enjoy a flight of five wines — including one special library selection — paired with five chocolates.

But here’s the twist: there’s no strict pairing guide. We’ll offer suggestions, but you’re encouraged to mix, match, sip, and taste your way through the lineup to discover your own perfect combinations. Notice how a bright white wine changes a creamy chocolate, or how a bold red deepens alongside dark cocoa. It’s interactive, a little indulgent, and a lot of fun.

Set against stunning vineyard and mountain views, this is an easygoing, friendly experience meant to be savoured. Bring a friend, bring your curiosity, and spend an afternoon exploring wine and chocolate in a whole new way.

Antelopebrush is a quirky and fascinating shrub, found here and there in the South Okanagan. This plant, often mistaken for Sagebrush, is at the very northern edge of its continental range here. Also known as Greasewood or Bitterbrush, the shrub is an icon of cultural and ecological complexity: it interacts with microbes, ants, butterflies, rodents, ungulates, humans and fire. The tour will be hosted by a group of Antelopebrush devotees, including Indigenous knowledge keepers. Together we will explore three local Antelopebrush sites. Along the way there will be plenty of time for informal chats.

Bring long pants, walking shoes and a bag lunch. Our first stop will be the Fairview Townsite, and we can organize a carpool to the other sites.

Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) Presented by SOAP Theatre
2026-05-17 19:30 - 21:00 | Venables Theatre, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H 1T0, Canada
Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) is an exuberant comedy and feminist revisioning of Shakespeare’s Othello and Romeo and Juliet. It takes us from a dusty office in Canada’s Queen’s University, into the fraught and furious worlds of two of Shakespeare’s best-known tragedies, and turns them upside-down.​Constance Ledbelly is the beleaguered “spinster” academic, and unlikely heroine who embarks on a quest for Shakespearean origins and, ultimately, her own identity. When she deciphers an ancient and neglected manuscript, Constance is propelled through a very modern rabbit hole and lands smack in the middle of the tragic turning points of each play in turn. Her attempts to save first Desdemona, then Juliet, from their harrowing fates, result in a wild unpredictable ride through comedy and near-tragedy, as mild-mannered Constance learns to love, sword-fight, dance Renaissance-style, and master a series of disguises… Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) a gender-bendy, big-hearted and crazily intelligent romp, where irony and anger sing in perfect harmony with innocence and poignancy.“Clever, pointed and entertaining… This play is one of the wildest and wooliest feminist reappraisals that the theatre has seen, and one of the most intellectually ambitious.”The Globe and Mail​“Stratford-upon-Acid: that’s where MacDonald’s dizzying Goodnight Desdemona lives… MacDonald traipses through the canon with glee… Lots of clever fun.”The Village Voice
