It’s fruity time with Saintly’s The Good Rose, a vibrant and refreshing drink fuelled by strawberry, grapefruit, and lime flavours.

This is a versatile medium-finishing rose that pairs well with pretty much everything. It’s especially yum with Pad Thai, Tuna Nicoise, moules-frites, or a classic backyard BBQ burger.

Inniskillin Okanagan — Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon

This Inniskillin Okanagan Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon is a dry red wine filled with berry fruit flavours and smooth tannins (thanks to the added Cabernet Sauvignon!). It’s a real crowd-pleaser!

Try pairing this blend with meat dishes like grilled steak, rack of lamb, or beef and green pepper kabobs.

Sheringham Distillery — Seaside Gin

This is the perfect summer gin for a seaside vacation! Sheringham’s flagship spirit takes inspiration from Vancouver Island’s beautiful coast and is bursting with bright botanicals like juniper, coriander, and rose.

It’s delicious on the rocks or enjoyed in your favourite cocktail.

Verve — Gin Smash Variety Pack

No big decisions here! Verve’s Gin Smash Variety Pack offers four delicious flavours like Blood Orange Tonic and Blackberry Lemon, which means you won’t be missing out on any bubbly deliciousness this summer.

Even better, there’s only four grams of sugar and 120 calories per can.

Nothing says summer like some good beer! This 12-pack Trail Hopper IPA from Stanley Park Brewing is tasty as can be with bold flavours thanks to a bountiful helping of Citra and Simcoe hops.

Aromatic and juicy, this is the perfect beverage to cool off with on a hot summer’s day!

Red Truck — Original IPA 15-Pack

Embodying the Pacific Northwest spirit, Red Truck Original IPAs blend late kettle additions with dry hopping. As the cornerstone recipe for Red Truck’s acclaimed IPAs, this brew makes for a crisp and classic taste.

See Ya Later Ranch — Luna White

Say hello to summer! Luna White 2021 from See Ya Later Ranch is a semi-dry white with an aromatic blend that captures the scents and beauty of the Okanagan (think summer peaches and apple blossoms).
