Between Kelowna and Vernon in an area called the Okanagan Centre is the Gray Monk Estate Winery. Our “great find” was their Grape Vine restaurant. Perfect weather + large deck + stunning view + delicious food + great wine + excellent service = a perfect moment.

In August, 2004, four old friends explored the Okanagan Valley, sipping and slurping the local vinifera, and sampling the best hospitality in the world. One bright and sunny day, while doing our "sipping" thing at Grey Monk Winery, we decided to lunch. And what a lunch it was! Fantastic food, wonderful wine, and amazingly friendly service. BUT, it was completely overwhelmed, as were we, by the astounding vista below us, running from horizon-to-horizon. The sun sparkled off the lake waters and the sky was intense blue, and huge!! It was but one highlight a trip from which the memories will last forever!
