A Gourmet Adventure Awaits
Discover the Ultimate Spa and Resort Culinary Experience
From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by the stunning natural beauty of the Okanagan Valley. The sleek, modern architecture of the resort seamlessly blends elegance with serenity, offering a glimpse of the exceptional experiences that await inside. Yet, beyond the tranquil surroundings and indulgent spa treatments, a culinary paradise is waiting to be explored with its restaurants, café, and bakery.
Breakfast Bliss
Start your day with a delectable breakfast at the resort’s PeakFine Restaurant. Overlooking the picturesque Okanagan Lake, the restaurant offers a sumptuous breakfast featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Indulge in a variety of pastries, fruits, and many savory dishes to choose from while enjoying the serene morning views.
The chef’s special eggs benedicts, or the maple bacon pancake stack are a must-try to kickstart your day. For a healthy choice indulge in the morning smoothies. I particularly enjoy the Sparkling Hill Start Up Cherry Hill — it’s incredibly refreshing, especially after an evening of indulging in a few too many glasses of wine.
Lunch with a View
After a relaxing morning at the spa, make your way to Barrique & Java, the resort’s cozy bar and café, for a leisurely lunch, or stroll over to The Terrace for a delightful dining experience. Both venues offer an array of savory, light dishes, including artisanal sandwiches, crisp salads, charcuterie, and a selection of gourmet coffees and teas. And if you’re like me, you might be tempted to savor one — or perhaps two — of their tasty signature cocktails. Meanwhile, the outdoor patios provide the perfect setting to soak up the sun while enjoying the breathtaking valley views.
A Taste of Austria at Gerni’s Farmhouse
For a unique culinary treat, take a short stroll to Gerni’s Farmhouse, Sparkling Hill’s newest restaurant. Open for lunch and supper, Gerni’s brings your taste buds on a journey to Austria. Enjoy traditional fare like bratwursts, pretzels, and other hearty dishes, all paired with authentic beer. The charming ambiance, music and delicious food make it an enjoyable addition to your dining experience.
Wine and Dine in Style
When it comes to dinner, PeakFine Restaurant transforms into a gourmet haven. The menu, curated by expert chefs, features a selection of dishes that highlight the best of Okanagan’s local produce and flavors. Pair your meal with a glass of wine from the region’s renowned vineyards, and let the flavors dance on your palate. Moreover, there is plenty of options for the meat lover or vegetarian.
My Personal Favorites
When it comes to my personal favorites, a few dishes at Peakfine are must-tries: the rich and creamy risotto, the delectable mushroom crab cakes, the irresistible banana dulce delight, and the flavorful duck wings. Over at Barrique & Java, I can’t resist their exceptional pastries and unbelievably good martinis — it’s hard to stop at just one! And at Gerni’s, I found myself indulging in the savory sauerkraut, perfectly seasoned bratwurst, and fresh, warm pretzels.
