About the restaurant
Nestled in the rolling hills and lush landscape of Okanagan Falls at the south end of Skaha Lake, a twenty-minute drive south of Penticton, the Restaurant at Liquidity Wines reflects sustainable destination dining in the heart of our vineyards. Our connection to rugged terrain, mineral-rich glacial bench land, and the lake effect is tangible through the wines, dishes and ambiance.

Chef Tristan never fails to impress. The location is a beautiful and very intimate setting. The food has always been and continues to be amazing. Wish it were open for longer so we can go again

About the restaurant
The name BLOCK ONE represents the first vineyard planted in 2009 and is very special to
Proprietors Sheri-Lee and Curtis. “It taught us to be farmers; to be ONE with the land. There are things we will never experience again. That vineyard block represents the past – the starting point, getting our
hands dirty, all the ‘firsts’ of our business”. BLOCK ONE represents the future as this vineyard block now produces some of the estate’s finest fruit for our international award-winning wines. You will be amazed by the outdoor seating area of the restaurant. Seating is covered by an engineering wonder in a one-of-a-kind cantilever that is already drawing attention in the world's architectural community. The restaurant moves to an equally impressive indoor space during inclement days and in the winter months.

All groups of 6 and larger are subject to an auto-gratuity of 20%.

About the restaurant
At Gather, we curate intimate dining experiences. Our tables are designed for small groups, with many cozy settings. We offer reservations for up to groups of six. For larger parties we do offer one large table that accommodates up to 10 guest for our “TASTE OF GATHER” experience. Please contact paulo@coccarogroup.com for our “TASTE OF GATHER”.

Gather is a neighbourhood Korean & Italian restaurant, located at the base of the Innovation Center, that draws from both owners Chef Sung Ji Park and Luigi Coccaro’s heritage. Gather draws from both of Chef Sung Ji Park and Luigi Coccaro’s family connection as well, and was designed as a place where family, friends and colleagues are able to gather around a table, to share in a true culinary experience. The menu features a variety of small, medium and large plates that lends to sharing, as is customary in both Korean and Italian culture.

A unique dining experience where the staff pay careful attention to plating, taste profiles and overall presentation. Nice to be treated as if you are special. While spending hard earned money. Makes it worth every penny.

About the restaurant
Modern Vineyard Cuisine inspired by our Indigenous roots. We proudly sit on the traditional land of the Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation. Our inspiration for the name of our new signature restaurant comes from a chaptik story passed down through the generations of our First Nations people of the Okanagan.
The Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation approach to food is based on the creation stories of their culture and we’ve taken their stories as the inspiration for the name of our restaurant: “The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The Berry,” based on the story of the Four Food Chiefs.
The Four Food Chiefs are central: Skimxist Black Bear (chief of animals, representing self-sacrifice, leadership, giving), Ntytikxw Chinook Salmon (water creatures, perseverance, hard work), Speetlum Bitterroot (plants below the round, relationships to the land) and Seeya Saskatoon Berry (plants above ground, growth, strength, community) are legendary and the elements of indigenous cuisine.

About the restaurant
Immerse yourself in this captivating venue that showcases our history, terroir, sustainable farming practices and winemaking philosophy. Sit atop the Black Sage Bench amongst uncompromised views of the landscape that surrounds us, the rugged and untamed nature of the South Okanagan.

Created with immense precision and love, Chef Alessa Valdez ("angel of gastronomy" - Mia Stainsby, Vancouver Sun) and her talented culinary team deliver a seasonal-inspired menu that highlights the incredible bounty that the Okanagan has.

The restaurant was very quiet in the off season, but we were treated like royalty, nevertheless. Every detail of the meal was carefully attended to, creative, original and completely delicious. This is a special place we would highly recommend to anyone!
