Big White Ski Resort is not just about epic slopes and stunning alpine views—it’s also home to unforgettable après-ski events. One of the most beloved and celebrated events is the annual “Big Reds” wine festival. Perfectly timed to complement the magical winter atmosphere of early December, “Big Reds” offers a world-class wine experience for resort guests, spread across multiple locations on the mountain over an entire weekend.
This unique event showcases the incredible local wines from British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, and it offers attendees a chance to explore these wines through the eyes of the talented winemakers who craft them. With events taking place at different venues throughout the resort, the festival creates a dynamic experience, allowing guests to explore various settings while enjoying some of the best reds the region has to offer.
Throughout the weekend, guests can immerse themselves in tastings that highlight the depth and variety of the region’s red wines, with each location offering a different atmosphere and selection. From cozy, intimate settings to lively gatherings, “Big Reds” ensures that every wine lover will find an experience to savor.
What sets “Big Reds” apart is the personal connection to the winemakers. Guests have the rare opportunity to engage directly with the artisans behind the wine, learning about the unique characteristics of the Okanagan’s terroir and gaining insights into the craft of winemaking. This intimate interaction adds depth to the tasting experience, as each sip becomes a story of the region’s land and the people who cultivate it.
If you’re planning a winter getaway to Big White, “Big Reds” is an event you won’t want to miss. It’s a chance to elevate your après-ski experience with a weekend filled with exquisite wines, fantastic company, and breathtaking mountain views.
