The next time someone asks if you have any plans coming up, tell them you’re doing the Dirty Laundry.
That way, it won’t be a lie when you end up sitting on the sun-soaked patio of Summerland’s Dirty Laundry Winery, which is celebrating spring and summer with the return of its popular patio and restaurant, both of which are open for the season.
Visitors can now enjoy tastings of award-winning wines, local craft beer and meals on the gorgeous patio daily from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Red Iron Grille, open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., offers returning favourites like Forno oven pizzas and BBQ, along with a fresh slate of seasonal offerings.
“We are excited to welcome our patio regulars and new faces to the winery this summer and look forward to an action-packed summer,” Dirty Laundry wine shop and restaurant manager Kristen Thurlin says. “Our menu offers something for everyone—a brand new line up of locally crafted beers and ciders as well as returning fan favourites plus fun espresso drinks, new merchandise and of course those misters cooling down our patio when the temperatures start to climb.”
The restaurant offers a diverse lineup of Italian-style Forno pizzas, with options for meat lovers, vegetarians and spice seekers. Highlights include the hearty Red Iron Special, loaded with meats, and the Veggie Vixen, packed with pesto and Mediterranean veggies. The BBQ menu is just as mouth-watering, featuring house-crafted meats smoked with locally sourced Canadian maple and cherry wood. Featuring Alberta beef brisket, pork shoulder and chicken thighs, each dish is carefully prepared to maximize flavour.
Guests are encouraged to sip, savour and socialize as they take in the vineyard views. Wine club members can reserve patio tables and enjoy exclusive early access to new dishes, as well as guaranteed seating throughout the summer. For those not yet part of the wine club, now is the perfect time to join.
Dirty Laundry Winery is rolling out a full slate of summer events designed to pair great wine with memorable evenings on their scenic patio. Among the highlights is the return of Wine & Brine Lobster Nights, where guests can enjoy fresh Maritime lobster dinners on July 24, Aug. 7 and Aug. 28. Advance purchase is required.
The summer also features Sangria Sundays from June 29 to Aug. 31, offering complimentary live music and Dirty Laundry’s signature sangrias every Sunday evening.
Finally, the popular Blues & BBQ night returns on July 31, featuring smoked ribs and chicken alongside live blues music by Penticton’s own Gerry and the Blueshounds. With limited availability and high demand, guests are encouraged to secure their tickets early for these signature summer experiences. Tickets for all events will be available through the Dirty Laundry website on May 15.
