Since its founding, CheckMate has earned acclaim for bold, expressive wines that reflect the Okanagan Valley. The winery continues to push boundaries while honouring the land and the traditions behind every bottle.
Hosted at Coast, this multi-course dinner by Chef Omar Hadi is paired with standout bottlings, including select library wines not available to the public — a rare chance to compare vintages side by side.
