Week Four of our Okanagan Reconnect (OK Falls)
Presented by The Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association
The SHOW
Because…
Tasting Room Radio started its audio life in a studio in a barn on the Naramata Bench and…
Hadn’t been in the Okanagan since Fall 2019 and
The pandemic kept us from returning. I felt it was time to Reconnect to the Okanagan.
(The Vista in OK Falls)
