In the days leading up to Thanksgiving 2022, Naramata has been blessed with incredible weather — think mid- to high- 20’s, stunning sunshine, and clear starry nights. The holiday weekend is shaping up to be the perfect weather for warm walks, unseasonably-NICE fall paddles out on the lake, family time spent in the garden or around the backyard fire pit.
After a full day of outdoor adventure, we’re lucky to have a few local chefs who are whipping up a Thanksgiving feast with all the trimmings. If you’d like a break from all the shopping, cooking, and cleaning — read on. There’s a Naramata Thanksgiving meal for you!
NARAMATA INN
With Thanksgiving Dinner at the Naramata Inn, it’s all the tradition, all of the flavour… and none of the clean up. Simply make your reservation, and let the flawless service take you on a culinary journey featuring the best of the season’s flavours. Their delectable 3 course prix fixe menu offers Brown Butter Roasted Squash Soup, Honey Roasted Fraser Valley Turkey with all the trimmings and a seasonal ‘pumpkin spice’ twist on Pastry Chef Liz’s drool-worthy choux à la crème. Diners looking for some variety will find delicious options in a seasonal salad, Roasted 63 Acres Beef Tenderloin, Pan Seared Little Cedar Falls Steelhead and a Late Harvest Riesling Cheesecake with caramelized pears — the ultimate tribute to seasonal Naramata fare.
THE DETAILS:
This special Thanksgiving menu will join the October Prix Fixe menu on October 7, 8 and 9. On Thanksgiving Day (Monday, October 10), the Thanksgiving Menu will be the stand-alone dinner menu.
HILLSIDE BISTRO
If the cozy setting of home appeals, but the idea of all the cooking and cleaning leaves you a little cool, the Bistro At Hillside is offering a delish Thanksgiving Takeout Feature.
The menu includes a panzanella salad to start, roasted Cornish Hen for the main, along with tantalizing sides including sweet potato gnocchi and corn bacon bread pudding.

For the ultimate night out, an option to add wine pairings makes it a memorable Thanksgiving for the books.
