How do I select my pick-up location?

In late April or early May ticketholders will be sent a survey to select their desired pick-up location, from this information collected at this time we will be able to set the number of buses departing from each location and move towards the next steps of confirming your trail details.

Why is Pig Out not like in previous years?

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented many challenges from which we have learned and adapted; it is no longer safe to welcome hundreds of people to a single event at one time. In 2020, we developed the concept of the Pig Out Trails which combines our beloved day of food and wine into a culinary adventure that will provide safe transportation to smaller groups for a more intimate and in-depth look at wineries and winemaking in Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country.

Are my tickets refundable?

As indicated at the time of purchase all event tickets are non-refundable. Tickets are non-refundable as once planning is underway for the event many contracts are finalized and upfront costs are incurred. As many businesses learned in 2020 circumstances relating to the pandemic can cause unexpected and uncontrollable changes. Oliver Osoyoos Wine Country will continue to work to provide the best experience for you we can within Provincial and Federal restrictions but we reserve the right to make adjustments to the event including the date.

Are my tickets transferable?

Yes, until you submit the final names for the guestlist for people attending with your tickets you can change the people that are attending.
