Every summer we make it a priority to get away for a chunk of time. The Okanagan is an area in BC full of wineries, and we always escape for a few days there. It started out as a tradition with friends, and as they had babies, we started to go just the two of us. We always choose a different area to stay and this year, we chose Osoyoos! Roberto has family there, and I wanted to stay at the Watermark Beach Resort, since I had heard amazing things. Sadly, the weather was anything but summery, but we still had such a wonderful time. Is there anything more wonderful than a hotel bed? This one was delicious. We were in love with it. If you’re with me on Snapchat, you saw more than a few snaps from that very spot (erincsousa, if you wanna get in on the party).

We spent any slivers of clear sky by the pool, and really just relaxed, enjoyed breakfast in bed, sleep ins, and the restaurant at the Watermark. I seriously looooved the menu there – they have so many organic choices and almost everything is locally grown. We were treated to a tasting menu, with wine pairings.

This girl is really getting into white wine, and I loved the sparkling one from Covert Farms.

I’ve been a huge fan of LaStella and since they were our wedding wine, we are huge fans. It was a treat to visit the winery, learn about their processes and meet with the winemakers. This one was Roberto’s favourite, and I was sipping on this white all night.

We explored the area and wandered the vineyards at another fave winery, Nk’Mip (pronounced ‘Inkameep’). Aren’t those grapes so luscious?
