Celebrating British Columbia Wines – Laughing Stock

At Hastings House, we celebrate local British Columbia fine wines as the perfect accompaniment to our gourmet cuisine. One of our most popular wines, Portfolio by Laughing Stock Vineyards, is from the sunny Naramata Bench overlooking Osoyoos Lake in the Okanagan Valley. The Laughing Stock winery is in a uniquely dry area with southwest-facing slopes, which the winery says is great for “big reds.”

Portfolio by Laughing Stock

Portfolio has hints of dark cherry and cassis as well as sweet tobacco. With five different varietals, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, Portfolio is a complex wine with a long finish.

Our Dining Room Manager, Monty Wesley, favours Portfolio, a full-bodied Bordeaux blend.

Guests who have been introduced to Portfolio through our by-the-glass offerings order a full bottle the next time they come to dine.

That said, it is great to be able to try Portfolio by the glass as it is one of our more luxurious selections. But as an award-winner, it is well worth it!

 Easter Dinner Wine Pairing

Our Easter dinner may provide the perfect opportunity, as Portfolio is one of the wine pairings for the main course. This sumptuous three-course dinner experience is not to be missed! Manor Dining opens seven days a week on March 21 for the 2024 season. The Seaside Social of cocktails and appetizers is also offered daily between 4:00 and 5:00pm either in the heritage lounge or on the seaside terrace.
