TINHORN CREEK ADDS A RESTAURANT TO THE WINERY
October 26, 2007

A newsworthy items came out of last night’s sold out dinner for Tinhorn Creek Winery at Le Gavroche restaurant and this is that Tinhorn Creek has started plans for a restaurant at the winery. The blueprints (once given the green light by the building authorities) will have room for approximately 65 seats inside the restaurant and 65 on a patio outside. It will be located near the area that now houses the winery's outdoor amphitheatre.

Tinhorn Creek will own only the property and the facilities. The restaurant operation itself will be run by Le Gavroche owner, Manuel Ferreira, making this Ferreira’s third BC restaurant after Le Gavroche (Vancouver’s West End) and Sonova (in Kerrisdale).

There is no word yet on whether Ferreira plans to do a Portuguese-style menu for the winery restaurant or if he has something else in mind. Perhaps he is still reeling from the collision he experienced only a few days ago with a large stag on the road outside of Osoyoos. An accident which totaled both his truck and the deer, but fortunately left his own person unharmed.
