Okanagan wine makers will be pouring their best products at the eighth annual Rotary Wine Festival on March 3.

The event will take place  at the Riverside Centre from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.

Princeton wine-lovers can sample from Hester Creek, Gheringer Brother’s, Forbidden Fruit, Nk’Mip Cellers and other top-notch wineries.

Around 125 people made it the festival last year - each coming out with a new favourite chardonnay, pinot gris and shiraz.

Money raised goes to support local Rotary projects, including the Riverside Kitchen.

“It’s a great social night in the middle of winter for people to come enjoy themselves,” said Rotary member Rob Marshall.

“Every year it’s a big success.”

Appetizers will be provided by local restaurants.

Tickets are available Realty Executives, Irly Building Centre, Cooper's or rotary members.
