Interesting Sunday Breakfast or Brunch in downtown Vancouver

La Boqueria the latin themed dining room at ther Four Seasons in downtown Vancouver. If not huevos rancheros then at least some other interesting Latino flavours. A real surtprise for a hotel brunch

I've had decent huevos at Pauls Place at the south foot of the Granville Street bridge- a 15 minute hike from downtown

For great local ingrediants but likely no huevos rancheros the RainCity Grill on Denman has a great a la carte brunch. Again a 15 minute hike or a hop on the Robson Bus- check www.raincitygrill.com to see their menu

I'll leave crepes to the other posters- never had a crepe in Vancouver that could come close to Quebec City samples

Okanagan (sp?) Wine Festival

Yes! The Okanagan Wine Festival is wonderful. Not sure where you are staying but if you are a Wild Goose fan I highly recomend staying on the Naramata side of the lake. Actually if you are a fan of anything- It is beautiful, peaceful and you wind from winery to winery.
Basically staying between Naramata and Panticton puts you 15 minutes from Wild Goose in one direction, , right beside La Frenz and Lakebreeze., and 10 minutes from Lang,Nichol, Polar Grove in the other direction
I always rent wonderful cabins thorugh a private compnay. Not sure what is avaialble for the fall as I always go in the spring

Be prepared for generally very small tasting rooms ( sometimes from the garage) . Wild Goose's tasting room is about 12 x 12
I'm sure you have checked out the Okanagan Wine festival website for events- The Hillside winery Lobesterfest is a hoot! If you have any particular questions
