The Okanagan Valley is a major producer (among other things) of wine. There are 186 separate wineries; many of them have attached restaurants and small hotels or B and Bs, as well. So it’s entirely appropriate to see a sculpture such as this in one of Penticton’s parks!
As you can imagine, tourists visit the valley not only for the sun, beaches, hiking and sailing, but also for the wineries and restaurants. In the last 40 or so years, quite a food culture has sprung up around the wine industry, which is completely natural of course, and includes wine bottle sculptures!
Happy Tuesday.

We have visited wine country in Washington, Oregon, California, France, Italy, but not yet the Okanagan. It’s on the bucket list. Beautiful photos, as usual!

It is. Last year, the same park displayed a sculpture of a pair of giant sunglasses. Some city official has a sense of humour!

It is good to see the food culture grow with the wineries. They need to augment the reason for tourists visits. Happy Tuesday Lynette. Allan

Thank you, Allan. I agree. We’re not tourists but really benefit from the infrastructure. There are so many good restaurants to choose from.
