Dine Around Thompson Okanagan is back for another year.
The official launch party was held at Okanagan College in Kelowna Tuesday evening and attracted more than 300 people.
The kickoff featured a stand-up reception, allowing guests to sample food, wine and beer booths.
“This festival is great for restaurants as we help promote their businesses during what has been traditionally a slow time of year,” BC Restaurant and Foodservices Association president and CEO Ian Tostenson said.
“Consumers also appreciate it as they have the opportunity to sip, savour and save with these delicious three-course menus for such incredible prices. Many residents take the opportunity to get out and try restaurants that they may not have ever been to or don’t visit often enough. It’s a win-win for the consumer and our member restaurants.”
For the next two and a half weeks 50 restaurants throughout the Thompson Okanagan are featuring a three-course menu for $15, $25, $35 or $45 with suggested BC VQA wine pairings, BC Craft Beer pairings or spirits and cocktail pairings.
Guests can visit the participating restaurants and ask for their Dine Around menu. Reservations are encouraged as more than 8,000 people are expected to take in the festival Jan. 16 to Feb. 3.
A list of participating restaurants and their menus can be viewed online at www.dinearound.ca.
