A few kilometres north of Oliver, Canada’s first “wine village” opens this summer: a hub of tasting rooms (for wine, beer and even craft spirits), patios, shops and entertainment. District Wine Village, the vision of Penticton-based Greyback Construction (which has built many area wineries), will also host a weekly farmers market and in winter, a skating rink. District, which is based on similar wine-country hubs in California and Washington, will eventually hold a dozen producers. districtwinevillage.com
