Manpreet for 30 Under 30
2026-04-18 18:00 | Kismet Estate Winery, 316 Rd 20 British Columbia Oliver V0H1T0 Canada, Oliver, British Columbia, V0H1T0, Canada
Celebrate Excellence: Join Us for Manpreet’s 30 Under 30 Recognition!

Join us on April 18 at 6 pm as we roll out the red carpet to celebrate our winemaker, Manpreet Dhaliwal, and her 30 Under 30 recognition. Set in The Hangar event space at Kismet Estate Winery, this is an evening of celebration, style, and exceptional wine.

We’re so proud to share that our Head Winemaker, Manpreet Dhaliwal, has been named to the BCBusiness 30 Under 30 Class of 2026 (on newsstands now).

For our family, this is a really special moment. Manpreet did not set out to become a winemaker. She trained as a practical nurse and was working in health care during the pandemic when she came home to help during harvest. What started as stepping in to support the family business quickly turned into something much bigger. She learned winemaking from the ground up, and in 2023, at just 26, became Head Winemaker at Kismet.

Since then, she has helped shape an exciting new chapter for our winery with a steady, thoughtful approach in the cellar and a clear vision for where Kismet is headed next.

Under her leadership, recent vintages have earned recognition across multiple releases, including Phulkari Rosé, Cabernet Franc Reserve, Moksha, Sitara Frizzante, and Mantra. We’ve also been grateful to see more guests visiting us on-site, and more people joining our wine club. “Being named to BCBusiness 30 Under 30 is such an honour, especially because this work is so connected to family, place, and the people who support us,” says Manpreet. “I’m proud of what we’ve built so far, and even more excited about what’s ahead this season as we release new wines and welcome guests back to the winery and Manzil.”

Enjoy a night filled with glamour and entertainment to mark the milestone with Manpreet’s award-winning portfolio and a seated, multi-course dinner from Manzil Restaurant, thoughtfully paired for the occasion. Expect great energy, great food, and plenty of moments worth raising a glass to.

Each ticket includes a signed bottle of wine, a red carpet photo opportunity, and a multi-course dinner with paired wines.Tickets are $150 per person.

Purchase you tickets and join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating Manpreet, Kismet, and what’s ahead.

Open Mic & Jam Nights are an important part of every music scene, to allow new musicians to flourish, and seasoned musicians to hone their trade. Please keep in mind, the “pub” environment may not always provide an attentive audience, but capturing the crowd is all part of the challenge 😉

We recommend performers RSVP so we know you’re coming! Table reservations are no longer available.

FOR MUSICIANS – PLEASE READ

Please arrive around 6:30 and identify yourself to our host, Mike Dallamore, and let him know if you would like accompaniment (Open Mic style vs Jam style). He will find you a slot for you to play up to three songs.

We will have three microphones, and a PA mixer with more than enough inputs for instruments. Small electric amps are permitted, but they must be coordinated with the sound tech. Small percussion instruments are permitted. Bagpipes are stricly prohibited unless you are wearing a kilt… just kidding (though kilts are awesome).

We have no restrictions on genre, though we insist that all performers respect that our space is family-friendly, and we have a strict intolerance for prejudice or abusive material.

FOR PATRONS – PLEASE READ

Please respect the musicians. They have worked hard to get up on the stage 🙂

Goodnight Desdemona (Good Morning Juliet) Presented by SOAP Theatre
2026-04-24 19:30 - 21:00, 2026-04-25 19:30 - 21:00, 2026-04-26 14:00 - 16:00, 2026-04-30 19:30 - 21:00, 2026-05-01 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
