The last month has been busy for our sales team as we ramp up our sales efforts with planners looking for venues and destination for 2017 and beyond.
We continued to build some destination awareness partnering with the Canadian Consulate and Business Events Canada to host a Western Canada evening at the Seattle Mariners and Toronto Blue Jays baseball game. Tourism Kelowna along with Manteo Resort, the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort, The Cove Lakeside Resort, and Mission Hill Family Estate hosted forty clients in a stadium box and mingled with them throughout the evening. The following evening we headed out to Bellevue for a quick client reception as we continue to try to find interesting ways to reach clients in the Seattle area.
Earlier this week our team was down in Vancouver and partnered with Details Catering and Chef Mark Filatow for an amazing six course dinner at L’Abattoir in Vancouver. Chef Lee Cooper and Chef Filatow took turns showcasing the tastes of the Okanagan Wine Festival as each course was paired with wines from Sandhill Wines, Quails’ Gate Family Estate, Summerhill Pyramid Winery and Mission Hill Family Estate. During the evening, our partners: Synergy Events, Quails’ Gate Family Estate, Mission Hill Family Estate and Manteo Resort Waterfront Hotel & Villas mingled with clients and chatted about future programs in Kelowna.
