After years of anticipation and planning, Tinhorn Creek Vineyards opened <\/strong><\/p>\n

a new restaurant at the winery on April 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

The restaurant, aptly named Miradoro<\/a>, roughly translates to \u201cGolden View\u201d in Portuguese.\u00a0 This originates from Miradoro restaurant partner Manuel Ferreira\u2019s (of famed Vancouver\u2019s Le Gavroche) Portuguese background.\u00a0 Miradoro will serve market cuisine in a relaxed fine dining atmosphere.\u00a0 It seats 65 people inside with a 65-seat patio offering superb views of the scenic South Okanagan Valley. Ferreira has secured two exceptional individuals to run the restaurant whose knowledge and experience will make Miradoro a destination restaurant for tourists and locals alike.<\/p>\n

Behind the menu is Executive Chef, Jeff Van Geest.\u00a0 His background includes some of Vancouver\u2019s finest restaurants (Bishops, Diva at the Met, Chef Bernard\u2019s Cafe) and his own restaurant, Aurora Bistro. Van Geest will be an excellent fit with Tinhorn Creek\u2019s focus on sustainability, winning Vancouver Magazine\u2019s Green Award for demonstrating leadership in sustainability.<\/p>\n

Justin McAuliffe, Miradoro\u2019s General Manager and Sommelier, has worked in the wine industry for 15 years at some of the top restaurants in Toronto (Centro, Canoe) and Vancouver (C Restaurant). McAuliffe is certified by the International Sommeliers Guild (ISG) and the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET). Another great fit with Tinhorn Creek\u2019s sustainability philosophy, Justin has endorsed the sustainable culinary philosophy at C Restaurant.<\/p>\n

Miradoro features panoramic views of the scenic South Okanagan Valley and overlooks many of the producers and farmers that supply ingredients used on the menu.\u00a0 The market cuisine menu has a Mediterranean influence, drawing inspiration from countries like Italy, Spain and Portugal \u2013 countries that know a thing or two about food and wine pairing. The food at Miradoro is rustic, simple, straightforward, and places emphasis on the seasons. The wine list features Tinhorn Creek wines<\/a>, both current and library offerings, but also includes selections from other great BC wineries.<\/p>\n

Miradoro is not only a world-class destination restaurant for wine tourists, but is somewhere to go for a pizza and glass of wine after work, or a casual lunch on the patio.<\/p>\n

Miradoro is open March 1st<\/sup> through December 31st<\/sup> from 11:30am to 9pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
