Miradoro Restaurant at Tinhorn was honoured this week with a gold medal for Best Winery/Vineyard Dining at the 23rd Annual Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards.

Past winners in this category have included Old Vines Restaurant at Quails’ Gate and the Terrace at Mission Hill.

The Vancouver Magazine Restaurant Awards brought together a panel of 18 food and wine experts. One judge stated that in the kitchen, Executive Chef Jeff Van Geest “brings a keen awareness of sourcing the local and seasonal that puts this restaurant at the top of its class.”

Miradoro’s Restaurateur Manuel Ferreira was also lauded for upping the ante in South Okanagan winery dining and said, “We are very honoured and proud to be named ‘Best Winery/Vineyard Dining’. This award recognizes excellence, and reflects the talent and the tireless dedication of our team to continually raise the bar in all aspects of our restaurant with the ultimate goal of creating the best experience for our guests.”
