I tried a peice of it, was extremely sour and tasted like it had gone off a long time ago. I did notice that the brand new package of headcheese was not opened for my request, so the old sour small peice behind the new one was sliced up and given to me. Very disappointed, this will be the first and last time I buy from here.

Coming from Alberta, I always have liked the few flavors of syrup of Summerland Sweets I could find…read moreat a grocery store, but this place is like the ultimate jam and syrup destination! There are so many more flavors than just raspberry and blueberry, and more jams than I could count. When we visited we were stunned for a moment when we walked in, and we shopped for a long time. Along with all the fruit-flavored goodies there are so may cute home items and decor to look at, as well as ice cream (there was a busy line for this while we were shopping). Summerland Sweets is in the middle of a number of wineries and made for a great break from wine tasting (including wonderful clean public washrooms). This is now a mandatory stop when we visit the Summerland area, and my only regret is not going home with one of the 4L jugs of syrup!

Summerland Sweets is a rustic wood building that reminds me of Little House on the Prairie. The…read moreparking lot is gravel and there are several picnic benches outside to use while you enjoy your treats. My father grew up in Summerland and still owns his family home and vineyard there. We toured the area this time and bumped into Summerland sweets. What a great find! We walked in and found shelves and shelves of jam, fruit candies, pottery, fruit wines, and an ice cream counter in the back. Our group of 10 all stopped for an ice cream and we were so glad we did! They offer two types of cones and a bunch of different flavors of ice cream. The standard scoop is HUGE. The ice cream prices are very cheap (see photo) and the scoops are generous. The girls working the counter are very friendly and were super nice with our 4 seniors (all over age 85) who were trying to decide what to get. The cherry ice cream was a huge hit! There is also a wine tasting room where they serve fruit wines. The colors are beautiful and the wine tasting is free. We ended up with some fruit flavored candy for my husband to bring back to work (in Houston). We don't do a lot of touristy type things when we go to the Okanagan, so this was a wonderful place to stop, close to where we were staying. I highly recommend Summerland Sweets for a quick stop for ice cream, wine tasting, and gift shopping. If you love maple syrup or fruit syrup they sell that too!

During a recent stay in Penticton, the daughter had the opportunity to see and shop at Grimm's…read moreSausage before she returned home. Thanks to her trip, we received a 'sampling' of tasty treats -- liverwurst, weisswurst, and European wieners. The gifted offering was directed primarily to her Mom -- definitely the one who knows, and is able to really savour the distinctive flavours of these kinds of meats. And she sure did. I managed to target the weisswurst, and ensured we enjoyed a meal together with this sausage. It is a sausage favourite of mine, and I really enjoyed their product - creamy in texture, and rather 'lighter' in flavour. I could enjoy that sausage often, and in so many ways. At this time, that included one taste of sweet & savory, open-faced sandwiches -- made with slices of weisswurst sausage on cinnamon rolls -- tried before the sausage was gone. Thanks to A&K Grimms for their well-made, flavourful & tasty sausages, and daughter for catching some for us to taste at home.

There is a Pepperoni Wall of Fame that you can get your picture taken at and you will have bragging rights to all your friends. The only problem with sharing this stuff is then more people know about this hidden gem, and any time you travel past it to Osoyoos or Kelowna, or Nelson, or wherever... your friends will irrationally demand that you stop and get them $40 worth of meat. NOT JOKING. If you like the little Eastern European butcher on the Drive near First, and the family run butcher in Fernie, this is the kind of quality you can expect. YUM

I was surprised that I was able to cobble together a dinner from here. They do have a small deli section and I spied a goat brie that looked interesting. I asked for that, and a scoop of mixed olives. On the shelves I was surprised to find those addictive Rainforest Crisps. Those few items combined with the fruit in our car, dinner is a success! I went to pay and was shocked to be charged $20 for the wheel of cheese - la la la don't want to drive back to Penticton, don't want to eat at the one restaurant in town - I ignored the price. The olives were delicious. The crackers were stale. On the plus side, they do sell chilled white wine, in case you weren't able to keep the bottles you bought all day at the wineries cool enough.

This Whole Foods is a health food store, not a gourmet store; it's smaller than the smallest Whole Foods in Vancouver, which means it's less than a quarter the size of a "real" Whole Foods. If you're looking for a few specialty items that you can't get anywhere else, you may be in luck. There's a huge selection of vitamins, a good assortment of gluten-free and other specialty health food-type ingredients, and a very large bulk food department. What you won't find are the goodies that make the full-size Whole Foods so tempting, and so dangerous. Very few preprepared foods, and no salad bar. A very modest selection of cheese and meats. A selection of baked goods commendable mainly for offering wheat-free options. A couple of aisles' worth of boxed and canned goods.
