Directly from the Osoyoos’ LaStella Winery and 3Phase Adventures Press Release:

A new style of wine tasting in Osoyoos, British Columbia Osoyoos’ LaStella Winery and 3Phase Adventures partner for SUP n SIP package

Osoyoos, BC (May 22, 2013): Wine tasting just got a whole lot more adventurous with the launch of LaStella winery and 3Phase Adventures Stand Up Paddling SUP n SIP package. Try the summer’s hottest water sport on the waters of Canada’s warmest lake, before sampling a true taste of Tuscany from LaStella, the only winery perched right on the shores of Osoyoos Lake.

The two-hour adventure runs through the summer; guests meet at 3Phase Adventures’ new Cottonwood Beach location before heading to the LaStella’s shores, slightly north of Osoyoos. The one-hour paddle takes small groups of novice and intermediate paddlers out onto the lake, always in view of the Tuscan-inspired winery. Upon returning to shore, guests leave boards on the beach and walk through the tumbling hillside vines to enjoy a taste of La Dolce Vita during a VIP one-hour premium wine tasting on LaStella’s terrace.

Representing a perfect pairing of similar values in customer experience, Rasoul Salehi, general manager at LaStella winery recognized the potential immediately: “Its such a unique way to see both the valley and our winery,” shared Rasoul following the first few trips. “The 3Phase Adventures team offers first rate instruction and a true passion for our wine country, which translates into one of the best possible ways to taste wine in the South Okanagan.”

“We have enjoyed partnering with the LaStella winery team to create this truly unique experience for our guests. Nowhere else can you be soaking up the true serenity of standup paddling and moments later be sipping wine on a stunning Tuscan terrace surrounded by a vineyard – well except perhaps Italy!” said Jason Jennings, owner and adventure guide at 3 Phase Adventures.

SUP n SIP packages run Monday and Thursday until September 2nd, and cost $85 per person, which includes board rental, safety gear, instruction & premium wine tasting with your La Stella and 3 Phase Adventures hosts. For more information and to book, visit: www.3phaseadventures.com or call 250-498-9989.

Directly from the Nicli Pizzeria Press Release:

MARGHERITA MONTH A ROYAL CELEBRATION AT NICLI ANTICA PIZZERIA

(Vancouver, BC) — June 1889 is a significant month in the history of Italian cuisine. That’s when a humble Neapolitan tavern owner named Raffaele Esposito, won the praise of Margherita of Savoy, Queen of Italy, by serving her a local peasant specialty – a flatbread, which he designed in the colours of the Italian flag in honor of her visit to Naples. To create the red, green and white of the Italian flag, he topped the flatbread with simple, local ingredients - tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and fresh basil leaves – the first time cheese had been melted on the traditional flatbread. He named the new dish after the queen.  Legend has it that she was so delighted by it, she insisted that a wood-fired ‘flat-bread oven’ be installed in the palace. Thus was born the first Pizza Margherita which set the standard for all future pizzas for generations to come.

In the intervening century and a half, pizza has spread around the globe - with versions and variations as diverse as the people who make it. There is, however, still one universal standard for pizza excellence based on that very first Margherita pizza. That standard was created, and is maintained, by the AVPN (Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana) in Naples, Italy.  In 2009, the European Union protected Neapolitan pizza with its designation as a Specialty Guaranteed Dish.  Nicli Antica Pizzeria is the first pizzeria in Vancouver, and amongst the first in Canada, to receive the official AVPN designation. To celebrate June’s significant place in food history, Nicli and AVPN North American President, Peppe Miele, are declaring June Official Margherita Month.

From May 28 – June 30, Gastown’s Nicli Antica Pizzeria will be producing and/or hosting a number of fun events and special promotions bound to appeal to pizza lovers – Pizza with Peppe, Margherita Lunch, La Stella Wine Dinner, Dine Like an Italian, Margherita Cocktail and PINQ Presents a Royal Affair.

May 28 - Pizza with Peppe: for one this evening only, from 6 p.m. to closing, drop by Nicli for a pizza and meet Peppe Miele, AVPN North America President.  Mr. Miele is coming to Vancouver specifically for this event. He is the owner of Antica Pizzeria in Marina Del Rey and the first person to have a pizzeria outside of Italy certified by the AVPN back in 1997. Regular menu is in effect.

June 25 - La Stella Wine Dinner:  four different pizzas paired with four different wines from the South Okanagan’s  award-winning La Stella Winery. The evening ends with a special dessert to complement Moscato d’Osoyoos. Price $60 per person,includes taxes and gratuity.  Special winery guest TBA.

All month - Margherita Lunch:  Nicli is offering a special three-course lunch at $40 for two people. Ten percent of the proceeds from each lunch will go to support the Strathcona Community Centre.  Menu - Insalata (choice of Green or Arugula & Fennel), Margherita Pizza and Dolci (Panna Cotta with Blackberry Lavender Compote).

All month – Dine Like an Italian: How do you tell a tourist in Italy? They’re the people having dinner before 9 p.m. In Italy dinner, like lunch, is a leisurely affair. First you take a stroll (the passeggiata), then, sometime between 9 and 10 p.m. you sit down to supper. From June 1 – 30, any Sunday to Thursday evening from 9 p.m. to closing, Nicli will give you a 50 percent discount on your order of Margherita pizza. Not only do you dine in the manner of the sophisticated Italians, but you also save on your bill. If you arrive a little early, you can always stroll through historic Gastown to work up an appetite, or sit down at the bar and start the evening with an aperitivo.

All month – Margherita Cocktail, Her Royal Majesty:  a delicious concoction of Campari, star anise, simple syrup and fresh grapefruit juice topped with prosecco. Specially priced at $12.

Date TBA – PINQ Presents a Royal Affair: a benefit evening for Friends for Life starring Vancouver’s reigning queen – Joan E. Get your glam on at this bejeweled evening of Margherita pizza, cocktails and good fun. Date and ticket details to be confirmed soon, watch for them on PINQ and Friends for Life.

Join us this June as Nicli celebrates the tasteful art of the Neapolitan pizzaiolo.

STUNNING MUSICAL LINE-UP TO APPEAR LIVE AT MISSION HILL WINERY’S SPECTACULAR OUTDOOR AMPHITHEATRE

Four Captivating Live Musical Events: Chris Botti, Gipsy Kings, LeAnn Rimes & Pink Martini; Experience a ‘Once in a Lifetime’ Musical Performance at Mission Hill’s Intimate 1,000-Seat Outdoor Amphitheatre

The Okanagan Valley, BC: The artists are larger than life, the venue is iconic and the concerts will be legendary. The line-up is now confirmed and Mission Hill Family Estate is proud to announce the performers appearing this summer at the winery’s spectacular outdoor Amphitheatre. The four live musical performances include a special return engagement by Chris Botti on Friday, July 12, and with the first-ever Okanagan wine country appearances  by the legendary Gipsy Kings on Saturday, July 27, two time Grammy Award-winner LeAnn Rimes on Sunday, July 28 and the worldly musical adventure of Pink Martini on Friday, August 9.

In previous years, the intimate performances at Mission Hill’s 1,000-seat Amphitheatre have been in high demand and have quickly sold out. Tickets for the 2013 performances will go on sale on Wednesday, April 24 and are expected to once again sell out quickly as these legendary concerts become the hallmark of a summer visit to the Okanagan Valley. The concerts at Mission Hill provide a once in a lifetime opportunity to see these artists perform in one of Canada’s premiere outdoor concert venues.

With the creation of the Amphitheatre, Proprietor Anthony von Mandl, a strong proponent of the arts, created a unique opportunity to enjoy live music performances in an unrivalled setting. Situated on a prominent hill rising above the Okanagan Valley with majestic mountains and a scenic lake creating the perfect backdrop, guests enjoy a gorgeous summer evening of music, wine and cuisine at a concert venue unlike any other. This spectacular venue attracts celebrated artists from around the world who are searching to engage with their fans on a more intimate level. Artists that have graced the stage at Mission Hill in the past include: Chris Botti, Chris Isaak, Lyle Lovett, The Tenors and Wil Campa, among others. For artists normally reserved for much larger venues, the small capacity Amphitheatre provides a rare treat for those in attendance.

“A concert performance under the open sky at our outdoor Amphitheatre is a truly unforgettable experience,” states von Mandl. “There is something extraordinarily special about this intimate hilltop location; a wonderful outdoor concert experience reminiscent of the grand performances staged at the Arena di Verona, one of Europe’s historic open-air Roman amphitheatres. We are thrilled to welcome four incredibly talented and diverse musical performers to the winery this summer.”

Artists Appearing Live at Mission Hill in 2013:

Chris Botti – Friday, July 12:  Mission Hill welcomes the triumphant return of multi Grammy Award-winning jazz artist Chris Botti who returns to the winery for the second consecutive year. Since the release of his critically acclaimed CD When I Fall in Love, Chris Botti has become the largest selling American jazz instrumental artist. Botti has sold more than 3 million albums and performed alongside some of the biggest names in music, including Andrea Bocelli, Sting, Josh Groban, and Michael Bublé.

Gipsy Kings – Saturday, July 27:  The Gipsy Kings have sold more than 14 million albums and will bring their vigorous guitar work and passion as they introduce fans to ‘Rumba Gitano’ – the sound of South America’s rumba rhythm married to flamenco guitars. The audience at Mission Hill will experience the platinum-selling artists for the first time in Okanagan wine country in the spectacular setting of Mission Hill’s open-air Amphitheatre.

LeAnn Rimes – Sunday, July 28:  LeAnn Rimes has sold more than 40 million albums, won two Grammy Awards, three Academy of Country Music Awards and 12 Billboard Music Awards.  She is the youngest recipient of a Grammy Award and was also the first country recording artist to win in the ‘Best New Artist’ category. Following the launch of her new album Spitfire, LeAnn Rimes will be sharing a peek into her world through her lyrics while lighting up the stage at Mission Hill.

Pink Martini – Friday, August 9:  Featuring 10-12 musicians on stage, Pink Martini, ‘the little orchestra’ will perform their multilingual repertoire in the Okanagan Valley for the first time. At one moment, the audience at Mission Hill could feel like they are in the middle of a samba parade in Rio de Janeiro, and in the next they are in a French music hall of the 1930s or a palazzo in Napoli. It will seem a bit like an urban musical travelogue, but really, it will all take place at Mission Hill.
