Devour!, the world’s largest culinary film festival, returns to the South Okanagan for its second consecutive year from May 5 to 7. Taking over the region for three delectable days, Devour! Osoyoos will showcase a diverse mix of culinary events at restaurants and wineries throughout the region paired with a selection of festival-exclusive hotel rates and packages.

Devour Food and Film Festival

In 2009, Devour! The Food Film Fest was created by Chef Michael Howell in Nova Scotia as a celebration of cinema, food and wine culture – and in 2016, made its first cross-country stopover in Okanagan wine country at Watermark Beach Resort. New for this year, the event is expanding across the South Okanagan to celebrate the bounty of the region.

Osoyoos, we recognize the importance of showcasing the overall destination as well as our incredible local culinary scene,” says Ingrid Jarrett, General Manager and VP of Business Development at Watermark Beach Resort. “We are so excited to be a part of the festival’s continued expansion this year.”

“The first Devour! at Watermark Beach Resort was a huge success, and we are thrilled that this year’s festival has grown to incorporate the surrounding area,” continues Howell. “The South Okanagan is one of the top food and wine destinations in the country, and provides the perfect backdrop for celebrating Canada’s excellent culinary and film offerings.”

A delicious, action-packed weekend, Devour! Osoyoos will highlight the South Okanagan’s spectacular food and wine scene, offering guests an opportunity to enjoy creative food and drink selections from celebrated local and visiting culinary talent.
