Local wine producers and consumers who enjoy dining out with local wine and great food sourced from BC growers are sure to appreciate the bold, new policy ending corkage fees at Infusions Restaurant. Located in the heart of the campus of Okanagan College, the restaurant is an integral, inviting component of the outstanding culinary arts program at Okanagan College. Students in culinary arts prepare the dishes in an extensive, well-equipped training facility, while hospitality students look after dining room duties, all under the watchful eyes of their instructors.
Bottom line: customers receive a top-notch dining experience and a price break while giving students an opportunity to prepare and serve quality meals in a full-service (no more buffet service at Infusions) Restaurant.
“Putting an end to corkage fees at Infusions supports the BC wine industry,” says Jonathan Rouse, director of Wine, Food and Tourism, and Associate Dean of the Okanagan School of Business. “After all, Okanagan wines are a focal point of our programs. “We also want to attract new patrons by providing them another reason to visit Infusions.” That does not mean that customers have to bring their own wines. “Infusions’ wine list offers a growing selection of Okanagan wines to purchase,” Rouse says.
Infusions Restaurant is open to the public Tuesday to Friday for breakfast and lunch, and Thursday and Friday evenings.
“Come for one of the best meals you have ever had,” says Rouse. “You are welcome to bring your own bottle of Okanagan wine.”
