Giving Back to Our Community

A Record-Breaking Holiday Light Up: Giving Back to Our Community

This year’s 5th Annual JPC Holiday Light Up was nothing short of incredible! Thanks to the generosity of our guests and the hard work of our teams, we doubled the donations from last year’s holiday fundraiser for the Central Okanagan Food Bank. Every tasting fee collected during the event went directly to support families in need, and additional contributions from our meat draw helped make an even bigger impact.

The event wasn’t just about giving back—it was about bringing our community together for a day filled with fun, laughter, and holiday cheer.

All five JPC properties joined forces to create a festive experience! Here’s a look at what each property contributed:

The Hatch Winery

Guests enjoyed mulled wine and karaoke, creating a cozy and lively atmosphere perfect for holiday celebrations.

The Hatching Post

This venue hosted a meat draw and live music, combining great entertainment with a chance to win something special—all while supporting a great cause.

Black Swift Vineyards

Indulgence was the theme here, with chocolate and wine pairings where tasting fees were donated for to the food bank

Truck 59 Ciderhouse

Nothing says winter like a bonfire and live music, and Truck 59 delivered a warm, inviting space for guests to gather and enjoy the season.

Crown & Thieves

The magic continued in Santa’s Cellar, where guests savored wine tastings in a festive setting that captured the spirit of the holidays.

This event showcased the power of community and collaboration. Together, we not only celebrated the season but also made a meaningful difference for those in need. Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and helped make this year’s Holiday Light Up our most successful yet!

Here’s to spreading joy and giving back—see you next year!
