HOME TO OVER 25 YEARS OF CRAFT BREWING TRADITION

While there are many beer styles, watch for a couple of these as you hop from brewery to brewery in Penticton: 1. Lagers: Nothing goes better on a hot summer day in Penticton than a crisp and refreshing lager. These are typically pale in colour, but you will also find a couple of dark lagers here.

2. Ales: At our local breweries, you’ll find a wide range of ales, including wheat, amber, red, brown, cream, honey and scotch ales.

3. Stouts & Porters: Delicious stouts and porters are a local favourite in Penticton. These can range from maple, chocolate and coffee stouts, to chocolate and blackberry porters.

4. IPAs: If you like a hoppy beer, Penticton breweries have crafted quite a few for you to try. Whether it’s a regular, hazy or double IPA you’ll find it here. You can also find some great session ales and pale ales if you want to go a little lighter on the hops.

WINE & CHEESE TASTING

2. Let it breath: Aerate the wine by swirling it in your glass before you drink.

3. Use your nose: Smell your wine after you aerate it as it will change the nose.

4. Taste: Be sure to enjoy the wine.

Note: Spittoons are a common sight in most wineries and it is polite to use one while tasting multiple wines to avoid drinking too much.

1. Looks Matter: The colour of wine is an indicator of grape varietal and quality.

Grab a white napkin and hold it to the glass to admire the colour before you have a drink.

VINEYARDS

WINE 101 While spending time at the tasting bar, you will hear all kinds of “wine speak” being thrown around, here are a few terms translated.

Acidic: They taste zesty or sour and have a sharp edge on the palate. Think of acidity like a squirt of lemon.

Aging: The word for keeping wines in barrels, tanks, and bottles so as to improve the taste and flavor of wine over time.

Aroma: What you smell in the glass. By swirling the glass this allows the wine to interact with the air and makes it easy to sniff out the notes on the tasting sheet.

Bouquet: No, they are not offering you flowers. This term refers to the scent of the wine, which is often more than just a singular thing.

EVERY VINEYARD HAS A STORY

Blend: A wine made from more than one varietal.

Finish: The sense of texture and flavor that linger in mouth after the wine is tasted.

Tannins: Extracted from the grape skins and stems, tannins describe the bitter, drying sensation you feel in your mouth after tasting certain wines.

Terrior: Where the grapes are grown; includes the soil, climate, weather, all aspects of the vineyards and anything else that can possibly differentiate one piece of land from another.

Veraison: Term for when the grapes change colour from green to deep purple for red wines or golden and pink for white grapes. Wine drinkers get quite excited about this as it means that harvest and crush are approaching.

Vintage: It refers to the year the grapes were harvested and the wine was bottled.

SPIRITS

From hand crafted liqueurs to "one of a kind" vodkas, gins and whisky, the craft distilling scene, in and around Penticton is growing with vibrant velocity.

To be recognized as a craft distillery in BC you must not produce more than 50,000 litres of spirits a year, use 100% BC agricultural products to produce the alcohol and fermentation must be completed on site. This ensures that the distillers in BC are creative and innovative in their search for raw materials and flavours.

• Find award-winning fruit brandies, liqueurs and European style Eau-deVies at Maple Leaf Spirits, located on the Naramata Bench
