Epicurean: A Celebration of Okanagan’s Finest
The Epicurean, presented by Peters Wealth Management & Insurance Solutions, is a delicious showcase of the Okanagan’s culinary and beverage masters curated by La Chaîne des Rotisseurs.
What is the Epicurean?
The Epicurean returns—once upon a ski holiday, there was a time when skiing was only a part of the pleasure. When afternoons were reserved for long lunches, evenings were for candlelight and conversations and the pace of the mountains set the rhythm of the day. Where good taste, good company and good timing mattered just as much as the first chair.
The Epicurean at Sun Peaks brings that era back. No indulgence will be spared as our teams delight you with the best bites, best sips, and best pairings, set within a Golden-Age ski–inspired atmosphere celebrating classic alpine style and après culture.
Tourism Sun Peaks and La Chaîne des Rotisseurs proudly showcase the region’s hospitality industry while supporting the professional development of emerging chefs and sommeliers as they prepare for prestigious international culinary and sommelier competitions.
