Tinhorn Creek Concert Series

Comments 82 by Rebecca Bollwitt

Tinhorn Creek Vineyards is once again presenting their summer concert series located on a hillside overlooking the South Okanagan’s Golden Mile. The winery’s outdoor amphitheatre will premiere a Canadian concert series on May 26th with The Boom Booms (Peak Performance Project finalists) followed by Acres of Lions on June 23rd, Redeye Empire July 28th, Said the Whale August 25th, and Canadian rockers Sloan wrapping up the season September 8th.

Tickets to the concert series are now on sale for individual shows or you can pick up a season pass for $100, for all concerts. All concerts start at 7:00pm, with gates opening at 6:30pm.

Visitors can enjoy a self-guided tour, tastings, and the cuisine of Miradoro Restaurant. They are very active on Twitter as is their winemaker and CEO Sandra Oldfield, and they’ll be hosting a social wine tasting event on May 16th in Vancouver.

Tinhorn Creek is located between Oliver and Osoyoos in the sunny South Okanagan. Family owned and operated, their wines are 100% estate-grown. They were also the first winery in Canada to support carbon neutral measures and have a commitment to land conservation and environmentally sustainable practices.

To kick off the season in style, I have partnered with Tinhorn Creek to offer up two concert tickets to see The Boom Booms at the vineyard May 26th along with a $125 gift certificate for Miradoro Restaurant.

Make a weekend out of it and enjoy all that this stunning region has to offer – from camping and canoeing on the lake to enjoying local wine. If you can’t get to the Okanagan, this would make a great birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day, or Father’s Day gift. Here’s how you can enter to win:

  • Leave a comment on this post naming a Tinhorn Creek wine (found here) (1 entry)
  • Post the following on Twitter (1 entry)
RT to enter to win tix to @TheBoomBooms at @TinhornCreek & $125 for @MiradoroResto from @Miss604 http://ow.ly/adwqB

I will draw one winner next Wednesday, April 18, 2012 at 12:00pm. Must be 19 years or older to enter to win. Please enjoy responsibly.

Update The winner is Tanis!

Prize does not include transportation or accommodation.
