Dinner at Terrafina Hester Creek Estate Winery and Villas. One of my favourite places in the Okanagan.


Who ever heard of a Smoked Trout and Prawn Pizza? We spent the night at the villas at Hester Creek Estate Winery so we were happy to have dinner at Terrafina.  Executive chef and co-owner Jeremy Luypen puts together a fantastic menu that reflects the season and place.  It has been clear to me both times we’ve eaten at Terrafina that the people really care about the restaurant and are all trying to make sure you are enjoying yourself.  The dining room and patio are both beautiful and comfortable.  We had 2 salads, a pizza and a halibut dish.  All were delicious but the Smoked Trout and Prawn Pizza with olive oil and sundried tomatoes was one of those things that you remember and could crave. Thin but chewy crust with crisp sweet prawns,  smoky trout and sundried tomatoes to add some high notes.  It was just amazing.  The halibut was perfectly cooked, flaky but not overdone, with an angel hair pasta in a light cream sauce that had some interesting depth of flavour.  We had a bottle of their Semillon Chardonnay from the library collection.  At $45 you would be hard pressed to find a bottle of wine of this calibre for that price in a restaurant anywhere.  Once again Hester Creek blows me away with the attention to detail, beauty and comfort of the place.  Don`t drive through the South Okanagan without visiting Hester Creek Estate Winery.
