The most original event at the Okanagan's fall wine festival is the free-spirited "Midnight Service" at Blasted Church. A professional gospel choir fills the cellars with spirited hymns while guests wash down southern soul food with the winery's best wines. The entire portfolio at Blasted Church reflects an irreverent take on worship, from the label caricature of a preacher to premium wines called Cross to Bear, Holy Moley and Nothing Sacred.
