You never know what entertainment treats await as each winery on the bench presents music and performance to amuse‚ amaze‚ and entertain as you sample the Fall releases on the Bench.

Events will be on the weekend and dates and times will be available here soon. Plan now to join us then for the wrap-up event of the wine year!

Oliver, British Columbia's Festival of the Grape is an annual event launched in 1997 by the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce. The inaugural event was a huge success, and the festival continues to thrive and grow each year. A record number of people, wineries and vendors are expected this year.

The main focus of the festival is, of course, wine. More than 30 wineries will be in attendance, all eager to please your palate with varietals from their cellars. However, the festival is much more than just wine. The festival will have many different food vendors, merchandise vendors from local stores and boutiques, live entertainment, games, and a grape stomp.

Come join Hillside at this all-day family event. Bring the kids too. There is something for everyone.
