We are planning on checking out the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival this year? I looked through the Festival brochure quickly and there are many wineries and events happening through the week.

If we go for 3 days, is it better to go on the first weekend (Sept 28) or the second weekend (Oct 5)? Are 3 days enough?

We want to take a somewhat laid back approach; we don't want to rush to 6, 7 or 8 wineries a day, but to savor and enjoy the places we choose to go. What are some events and wineries we should not miss?

Three to four days is enough for a wine country tour. I'd divide the okanagan in half to see and taste the variations in climate, soils, and geography. After a couple of tours you'll get the idea of the how and why of wine making. I'd make a trip to check out La Frenz, Golden Mile, Dirty Laundry , Tantalus, and Black Hills. I'd limit my tasting and touring to four of five wineries a day.
