But what truly steals the spotlight is the food. Executive Chef Geoff Molloy curates a menu that celebrates the season and local ingredients. Think artisan wood-fired pizzas, crisp Burrata salads, and inventive small plates designed for sharing and pairing.

The wine? That’s where Fitzpatrick’s heritage shines. Known for its traditional method sparkling wines, as well as elegant Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs, Fitzpatrick Family Vineyards produces some of the region’s most celebrated bottles. Each pour reflects the passion and legacy of a winery rooted in the Okanagan’s winemaking history.

Service is warm yet refined—knowledgeable staff guide you through pairings and share stories that make the wine and food come alive. Whether you’re there for a long lunch, a romantic dinner, or just a glass of bubbly and a lake breeze, 19 Bistro at Fitz offers an unforgettable experience.

As the bistro reopens for its 2025 season on May 8, it’s poised once again to be one of British Columbia’s top dining destinations. Reservations are highly recommended.

This isn’t just dinner. It’s a lakeside culinary escape that leaves a lasting taste of Okanagan magic.
