The release of our much anticipated GSM is right around the corner. Following a series of GSM mini-events throughout the spring and summer, the culmination of the release of this wine will be an outdoor concert on July 20th!
We are proud to present Mocking Shadows, a lively Canadian band that has been entertaining crowds for over 25 years with their own brand of soul, R&B, reggae, ska, and even a little blues. They have developed an energetic and authentic sound that not only packs the dance floor, but also satisfies the most discerning music fans.

Join us at Sperling Vineyards to create with the magic of water marbling! If you can sprinkle cheese on a pizza, and write your name with a pencil you can create magic with us!!!
We bring the beautiful, ancient art of water marbling to the 21st century by inviting you to be the artist. Come and make your own water marbled silk scarf. Our workshop begins with a hands on demonstration. Each artist chooses their colours and floats the paint one drop at a time on the surface of the water, then uses marbling combs, rakes, or stylus to create the design of their liking.
Tickets include all supplies to make your 14 inch by 72 inch silk scarf and wine tasting from BC’s oldest vineyard. Love and labour since 1925. Non-alcoholic option available.
We recommend short sleeve shirts, aprons are provided.
KIDS WELCOME! If you can hold a pencil and write your name you can make magic with this art!
Having trouble booking, we can also book over the phone, Call Krista at 250-878-2452.
If you are looking for information about a private or group session please email colourdropdesign@hotmail.com. Or you can check out our website at www.colourdropdesign.com.
Let’s party like we’re in Spain! We’re celebrating this vibrant Spanish grape and you’re invited to join us! Dating back to 1953, the Festa do Albariño is a massive wine festival taking place in Cambados, Galicia over the first week of August each year. Inspired by this cultural event, we’re honouring this world-famous wine with Spanish tapas (from Oliver Eats!), live music and of course, a grand tasting of our new 2023 Albariño!
