The GOODS from Joy Road Catering

Penticton, BC | Usually food and wine enthusiasts have to make the pilgrimage to BC’s interior to fully experience the world-class cuisine and vineyards of Okanagan wine country. For one night only, however, Joy Road Catering & Road 13 Vineyards are bringing a warm BC wine country evening to the heart of the city at Vancouver Urban Winery.

The Country In The City dinner on Wednesday, April 3 2013 offers guests a four-course dinner paired with stellar wines for a unique taste of the Okanagan. The wines will include an array of Road 13 Vineyards’ more exclusive labels, such as Sparkling Chenin Blanc (45-year-old vines), Syrah-Malbec blend and the Fleet Road Pinot Noir from Naramata. Members of the team from Road 13 Vineyards will attend the event and introduce their wines.

The wines will be paired with courses prepared by the Okanagan’s Joy Road Catering. Over the last few years, many Vancouverites have become dedicated fans of Joy Road Catering’s legendary ‘Cuisine de Terroir’ at their summer series of alfresco vineyard dinners in the sunny Okanagan.

“Joy Road Catering Smith and Ewart call their food cuisine du terroir, and with good reason. Tonight’s menu begins with home made bread made from organic Canadian wheat and antipasti, including local goat cheese and fresh figs- all of it washed down with Okanagan Blue Mountain Brut.” – Amy Rosen | The National Post

“If eating alfresco is the key- then the hottest dinner ticket all summer long was a seat at one of Cameron and Dana’s Sunday dinners on God’s Mountain…” – Rhonda May | City Food

“Cameron Smith and Dana Ewart are two enterprising Torontonians who used to work for uber chef Chris McDonald at the former Avalon restaurant. They were attracted to the nascent food and wine scene in the Okanagan and opened Joy Road Catering to showcase the area’s food and wine […] We attended a wine maker’s dinner at an eclectic inn called God’s Mountain Estate situated on a cliff overlooking Skaha Lake. Dana and Cam matched the exceptional but simple food with very credible wines from Wild Goose Winery.” – Lucy Waverman | The Globe & Mail
