Summerland wine village looking to open next spring

Billing itself as a premier destination, the Summerlalnd BottleNeck Wine Village is planning to open in March 2024.

“It’s a groundbreaking project that will revolutionize the wine and spirits industry in the beautiful town of Summerland,” a news release from project director Ryan Kennedy says. “This innovative concept will bring together multiple tasting rooms and stores for wineries, cideries, breweries and distilleries all under one roof, creating a vibrant hub for tourists and locals alike.”

Each outlet will have their own unique space in the village and it is ideal for established or up and coming businesses, whether they’re in the Summerland area or looking for an accessible outlet for any company from Kamloops to Osoyoos, the news release says.

“Located in a prime, waterfront, high-traffic location nestled beside the marina, parks, beaches, water park, resort, and yacht club, Summerland BottleNeck Wine Village provides a one-stop destination for tourists looking to taste and discover the finest wines and spirits the region has to offer,” the release says, although it doesn’t give an exact location.

It's interested in companies looking to lease space. They can get information by email at: bottleneckvillage@gmail.com.
