CedarCreek Chef Collaboration Dinner at Kettle Valley Steakhouse brings alpine fine dining to Big White, just outside Kelowna, British Columbia. On January 21, Big White’s Executive Chef Boddie Macklin-Shaw joins Chef Neil Taylor from CedarCreek Estate Winery for a one-night collaboration: a four-course meal thoughtfully matched with CedarCreek wines. The room feels like a mountain lodge refined—soft lighting, low ceilings, and windows that frame the high-country slopes—yet the food steps beyond comfort classics into precise, seasonal flavors. Start with an airy sense of place: Okanagan high country air, pine-scented breezes, and the quiet gravity of snow on the ridges visible from the dining room. The menu celebrates alpine ingredients—root vegetables, locally sourced proteins, braised mountain greens—and techniques that bring out clean, mineral-driven tones designed to pair with CedarCreek wines from their current release list. Each pour is chosen to highlight an element on the plate, whether a bright, citrus-acid white cutting through rich sauce or a supple red softening roasted meat. This is not a typical resort buffet; it’s a curated tasting experience. Seating is limited and intimate: expect a focused service rhythm, explanations of the pairings, and the chance to ask the chefs about provenance and technique. Practical details matter—tickets are $249++ per guest with a $50 non-refundable deposit to secure your seat, a minimum age of 19, and a request that guests bring two pieces of valid ID. The dinner runs approximately three hours and, because it’s a single-night collaboration, it carries an air of occasion and rarity. Why book it? For visitors who want to connect place and palate, this event threads local wine identity into alpine cuisine with production-level finesse. It’s a chance to taste CedarCreek wines alongside dishes created specifically to complement them, and to witness a chef-to-chef exchange that shapes menus on the fly. The Kettle Valley Steakhouse contributes a setting rooted in resort life—close to Big White’s lifts and trails—making it an easy add-on for skiers, snowshoers, or sightseers staying in Kelowna. Book early, especially if you’re traveling with a group—parties of nine or larger cannot be guaranteed to sit together—and arrive prepared to savor the cadence of a wine-paired dinner. Whether you’re completing a day on the slopes or seeking an elevated evening in the Okanagan foothills, this collaborative dinner promises a precise, place-driven tasting that reflects the season and the local winemaking spirit. If you're traveling from Kelowna, allow 45–60 minutes to reach Big White Resort; winter road conditions require cautious driving. Reservations fill fast; contact the booking link to secure your seat. The evening is ideal for anniversary dinners, celebratory nights, or travelers seeking a concentrated taste of Okanagan winemaking matched to mountain cuisine—small-scale, deliberate, and memorably local and authentic.
