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.
