A big part of the guest experience at Sparkling Hill is sampling the various cuisine. After all, what’s a getaway retreat without a little tantalizing of the taste buds? At Sparkling Hill, we say living healthy is living happily. And there is no shortage of treats to keep you content during your stay.
Whether your dietary needs are vegan, gluten-free, or dairy-free, our menu options cater to all. Providing guests with authentic ingredients from B.C. and the Okanagan, Sparkling Hill’s culinary mission is to offer our guests the very best from Canada’s West Coast. With carefully crafted menus curated by our culinary team, Sparkling Hill’s food offerings take full advantage of the region and its seasonal offerings.
B.C. Is for Foodies
British Columbia is the perfect travel destination for foodies. You don’t have to visit Vancouver to experience the freshest seafood and the local B.C. harvest. Farm raised duck and poultry from Salmon Arm and Fraser Valley.Pacific Ocean salmon. Sweet, succulent melons from Oliver, B.C. Our list of local ingredients is long and ever-changing. No matter what time of year you visit, there’s always an exciting new dish to try.
When it comes to mouth-watering treats, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the Okanagan Valley’s abundance of fruit and veggies. As one of the country’s major produce suppliers, B.C.’s Okanagan Valley is home to some of the best tomatoes, bell peppers, beets, cucumbers, cherries, peaches, nectarines, apricots, and apples you’ll find anywhere.
And when we talk about B.C.’s amazing orchards and agricultural producers, we also talk about its vineyards and wine. Sparkling Hill offers sommelier-suggested wine pairings with our meals featuring some of the Okanagan’s top picks.
You’ll never run out of sustenance between your scheduled activities at Sparkling Hill.
Satisfying Snacks, Appetizers, and Meals. All Day. Anywhere!
With four on-site eateries to choose from (with four distinct menus), you don’t have to leave the resort to partake in the region’s best cuisine. In fact, you won’t even have to leave your bathrobe or the comfort of your beautiful room. Room service will deliver a delectable Manhattan-cut striploin (bone-in) with grilled heirloom tomato right to your door.
We’ve found the magnificent views of the surrounding mountain vistas are so much more rewarding with a fork or beverage in hand. And luckily, every window at Sparkling Hill affords an inspiring view.
Eating Healthy Means Eating Well
Just because you favour a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in something scrumptious and sweet.
What’s better than a morning yoga session? How about rewarding yourself afterwards with a chilled fruit smoothie or a delectable slice of chocolate strawberry cake (which also happens to be gluten and dairy free). Our menus carefully balance your cravings with health-smart options.
