Miradoro Restaurant

Miradoro Restaurant
Miradoro Restaurant

Miradoro Restaurant was established as a partnership between Tinhorn Creek and BC culinary legend Manuel (Manny) Ferreira 

Jeff Van Geest is now the executive chef of Miradoro Restaurant. Jeff was born in St. Catharines, the heart of the Niagara region. His grandparents were farmers and taught him to respect what farm-fresh meant – which might explain Jeff’s desire to have a small garden on-site at Miradoro, even if he doesn’t have time to tend it daily.

With his culinary training at the Vancouver Community College, Jeff landed an apprenticeship at Bishop’s restaurant in Vancouver – one of the earliest pioneers in sustainable cuisine. He worked his way through the ranks to Sous Chef before leaving to start his restaurant, the Aurora Bistro. Highlighting field-to-table and honouring the farmer/chef relationship earned Jeff a reputation in the restaurant industry as someone who walked (or cooked) the talk.

Panoramic views of the valley below; clean lines, and a comfortable atmosphere. Locally sourced ingredients prepared by an award-winning chef. All of this is in the south Okanagan’s heart – with a hint of Mediterranean on the palate.

With an emphasis on seasonal products and a commitment to sustainable practice, the menu at Miradoro studies culinary creativity. From the authentic Forno oven to a diverse wine list (including library wines), this is where food lovers indulge.

From March through December, Miradoro is where you can enjoy a leisurely meal and a glass of wine – whether you’re visiting wine country or living down the road.

Terrafina Restaurant

Terrafina Restaurant

Meaning “from the earth”, Terrafina is a gorgeous Tuscan-style restaurant nestled among the vines of Hester Creek Estate Winery.

The Chef

Adair Scott is the restaurant’s Chef. He grew up on the family farm in Prince George, where he developed an enduring passion for locally sourced food, learning how to raise livestock and tend a large garden at an early age.  His culinary career also began when he was young, working as a teenager at a nearby restaurant that sparked a lifelong passion for the industry.  After completing his Red Seal and stints at the Harvest Golf Club and Local Lounge & Grille in the Okanagan, he ventured Down Under to work in kitchens across Australia.  My highlight was as Chef de Partie at Australia’s landmark restaurant Stokehouse, famed for its “beach luxe” dining and seafood. 

Returning to the Okanagan, he joined Watermark Beach Resort in Osoyoos as Executive Chef for 7 years.  At Terrafina, Adair brings his love of local fare and considerable network of family farms and artisan suppliers to our modern take on Tuscan-inspired cuisine.

The Restaurant at Burrowing Owl Estate Winery

He started his culinary venture at the upscale Budock Vean Golf and Country House on the banks of the Helford River, where he spent the time working, observing and learning everything he could. Lee then voyaged to London, working as a commis chef at the Westbury Hotel in Mayfair, cooking through the ranks and eventually holding the Sous Chef position.

In 2000, Lee moved to Vancouver, Canada and spent 15 years cooking at some of Vancouver’s top restaurants, including West, Opus Hotel, C and the Heather Hospitality Group. In 2015, Chef Humphries found his true home at the Sonora Room Restaurant in the South Okanagan wine country. His passion for fresh, seasonal, local ingredients underpins and inspires his culinary philosophy.

Part of Nk’Mip Cellars’ resort, this restaurant emphasizes Indigenous culinary traditions and pairs dishes with Nk’Mip wines.

“Our inspiration for the name of our signature restaurant comes from the chaptik story passed down through the generations of our First Nations people of the Okanagan. 

The Syilx People of the Okanagan Nation approach to food is based on the creation stories of their culture and we’ve taken their stories as the inspiration for the name of our restaurant: “The Bear, The Fish, The Root & The Berry,” based on their story of the Four Food Chiefs.

The Four Food Chiefs are central: Skimxist Black Bear (chief of animals, representing self-sacrifice, leadership, giving), Ntytikxw Chinook Salmon (water creatures, perseverance, hard work), Speetlum Bitterroot (plants below the round, relationships to the land) and Seeya Saskatoon Berry (plants above the ground, growth, strength, community) are legendary.  These four food chiefs represent the key elements of Indigenous cuisine.”
